The computer connected to the printer. It receives the jobs and
then distributes them to the assigned printer. It also holds extra

an
INIT

RGB
Red, green, and blue. These colors, in phosphors irradiated by
the computer monitor’s electron gun, are used to create the
additive array of screen colors.
scalable fonts
Fonts that can be enlarged or reduced. Non-scalable fonts are
called bitmap fonts and can’t change in size.
screen pattern
This feature prints shaded areas as they appear on screen,
instead of printing them as halftones.
