The printer then prints information from its own memory at a much slower rate. This way of printing frees the computer to do other work while the printer is still working. The printer memory is sometimes called the buffer memory or input buffer. micro-adjustment A feature that adjusts the paper loading and short tear-off positions by the smallest possible increments.
