Glossary
duplex printing
Printing on both sides of paper.
emulation
The imitation of another printer
language.
feeder
The mechanism that feeds paper and other
media into the printer.
file
Any named, ordered collection of
information stored on a disk.
firmware
Programs stored permanently in read-
only memory (ROM). Such programs are built
into the printer at the factory. They can be
executed at any time, but cannot be modified or
erased from memory.
font
A set of characters of a specific orientation
(portrait/landscape), symbol set, spacing pitch,
point size, style, stroke weight, and typeface.
furnish
Elements of fiber composition and
chemical composition that make up paper.
Furnish can also include how fiber pulp is
manufactured.
fuser rollers
The fuser rollers are rollers inside
the SuperScript 870 that fuse toner to paper.
Fuser unit
The unit inside the printer that uses
heat and pressure to permanently adhere the
toner image to the paper before the printer
delivers the paper to the output trays.
GDI
Abbreviation of Graphical Device Interface.
This is a library of core functions in Windows that
processes graphical data for display and printing.
grain
The position of the paper fibers. During the
manufacturing process, most fibers are oriented
with their length running parallel to the long
dimension of the cut sheet. Once manufactured,
paper can be cut into sheets with the grain
running either parallel to the long dimension of
the paper (long grain) or perpendicular to the
long dimension (short grain).
These characteristics (“Long” or “Short”) are
usually specified on the paper package. The
dimensions listed on a paper ream list the long
grain dimension last. If short grain is specified on
a ream of letter-size paper, the size reads 11 in. by
8 1/2 in.
graphic
An image that graphically represents an
object, concept, or message.
gray scale
A setting you use to select the best
halftone pattern for the graphics in your
document, based on whether it contains photo
images, line art, or scanned images.
halftone
The reproduction of an image using dots
of varying sizes in a grid pattern.
hot-key
A combination of keys on your computer
keyboard that you press at the same time to
execute a command or launch an application.
