scale

To adjust font or image size according to given proportions.

SCSI

small computer system interface. Accepted standard for

connecting peripheral devices to computers.

SDLC

synchronous data link control

SEF

short-edge feed. The movement of paper through the printer in

the direction of the paper width (the shorter side of a sheet of

paper).

sequential

In numeric sequence, usually in ascending order. As applied to a

file organization, describes files in which records are written one

after another and cannot be randomly accessed. For example,

the first 99 records in a sequential file-access file have to be read

before the 100th record is accessible.

set

In setting a separation boundary through the Bin Full Criteria

task, set refers to multiple copies of the same report.

simplex printing

Printing on one side of the page. See also duplex printing.

SNA

system network architecture

sort

To rearrange data records according to a particular item (field)

which they all contain, using a predetermined ordering scheme.

source

Terminal node at which data enters a network. For example, a

computer transmitting data through telecommunication lines to

several other computers or receiving terminals.

source language

Language, high-level or low-level, used by a programmer. A

source language must be converted by a compiler to machine

language for the instructions to be executed.

spi

spots per inch

spooling

Process of releasing data from main memory and storing it

temporarily until a peripheral device is ready to accept it, for

example storing text before sending it to a printer.

spot

Unit of measurement representing a fraction of an inch, for

example, 300 spots per inch (spi). May also be referred to as a

picture element (pixel) or dot.

static data

Information usually found on preprinted forms or overlays.

stock

User-defined name in the JSL that specifies a certain type of

paper for printing a job. See also cluster.

stockset

Collection of stocks to be used on a print job. See also stock;

cluster.
