RAM Random Access Memory. Printer memory that is used for temporary storage of information you want to print and for downloaded fonts. resident font A font that is built into the printer, as opposed to one that must be downloaded from your computer. Resident fonts are stored in ROM. resolution The density of dots for any given output device. Expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance. Higher resolution means smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs. When you see a value given for resolution, the resolution for the horizontal direction is given first and the vertical direction second. For example, 720 x 360 dpi means 720 dots horizontally and 360 dots vertically. ROM Read Only Memory. You cannot modify this type of memory. When the printer is turned off, ROM memory remains intact. In this printer, the default settings and the resident fonts are stored in ROM. saturation The amount of hue of a color. The further the particular hue moves away from the center of the color wheel, the more saturated it is. top-of-form (TOF) The printing position at the start of a new page. Glossary 467
