Control Code A control code is a type of PCL language command that initiates a printer function, for example CR (Carriage Return), LF (Line Feed), and FF (Form Feed). Control Panel The combination of keys, LEDs, and a display that allows an operator to communicate with a device and allows the device to communicate with an operator. Current Active Position (CAP) See CAP. Cursor Although the printer does not actually have a cursor, the cursor position refers to the currently active printing position (like the blinking underline character used on most computer terminals). The cursor can be moved anywhere within the logical page using a combination of horizontal and vertical cursor positioning commands and control codes. Decipoint A decipoint is a unit of measurement that equals 1/720th of an inch. Default A value used instead of a programmatically selected value. A factory default is a value programmed into the device at the factory; this value is stored in read-only memory (ROM) and cannot be changed by a user or operator. A user default is a default which is selectable via the control panel. Dot The dot is the smallest printable unit. On HP LaserJet printers, one dot can equal either 1/300th or 1/600 inch. The number of dots printed per inch is referred to as the printer's resolution. EN Glossary-3
