AIX Advanced Interactive Executive. AIX-attached printer A printer device, attached to an RS/6000 computer through the network or through a serial or parallel port that receives jobs from an AIX print queue.

PhotoShop offers anti-aliasing when rasterizing an EPS file. Removing the jagged "stairstep" quality in diagonal lines produced on a computer screen by aliasing. This removal is effected by creating less densely shaded fields parallel to the diagonal line. APA All-points-addressability. API Application Program Interface. Application Program Interface (API) The call interface between a client program and the procedures that implement the printing system, as defined by the specification. Clients use the API to access servers.
