RAM Raster graphics Relative plotting Reset Resident font ROM Row Sans serif Scalable fonts Scaling Scaling points Scalable typeface Secondary font Serif Random Access Memory. The printer's memory in which fonts and macros can be stored and where pages that are to be printed are composed. A method of representing a graphic image as a series of zeroes and ones that correspond to white and black dots respectively. A method of plotting in the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics language where coordinates are specified relative to the point at which the last graphics command terminated. When you reset the printer you restore a base set of conditions. A reset can either be performed using the control panel or by sending the printer a reset command. There are two types of reset, the normal reset and factory reset. A normal reset simply restores the current emulation mode with the most recent control panel settings -- it does not change the emulation mode itself. A factory reset makes LaserJet mode the current emulation mode and restores the factory default environment. See internal font. Read Only Memory. Part of the printer's memory that contains the software controlling the printer and the printer internal fonts. The ROM cannot be altered unless the type of ROM fitted to the printer is Flash ROM, in which case it can be written to electronically via the parallel port of the printer . A horizontal sub-division of the page whose height is equal to the VMI (vertical motion index). The print position moves down the page a distance equal to the row height when a line feed is performed. A kind of typeface normally used for headlines. Sans serif typefaces do not have little hooks (serifs) on the individual characters. This helps Sans serif headline text stand out more prominently. A font for which you can specify the character size. The printer will automatically scale the characters to the size you require. In HP-GL or HP-GL/2 mode you can use the SC command to scale graphic images. The three types of scaling are known as anisotropic, isotropic and point factor scaling. Two imaginary points called P1 and P2 that define a rectangular area relative to the picture frame. You can use the HP-GL or HP-GL/2 SC and IP or IR commands to transform and scale images by changing the relationship between the two scaling points. A typeface for which you can choose a point size (height) in order to obtain a particular font for printing. For example, you might select the Utah typeface and then select 14 pt. as the height. The printer has many resident typefaces. You can also buy scalable typeface cartridge and disks. In LaserJet mode the printer maintains two current font settings. The secondary font is the second of these. A kind of typeface normally used for body text. Serif typefaces have little hooks (serifs) on the individual characters that makes text more readable. viii
