Portable Operating System Interface for
Computer Environments (POSIX)
An Institute of Electrical and Electronics
Engineers (IEEE) standard for computer
operating systems.
POSIX
Portable Operating System Interface for
Computer Environments.
PostScript
Adobe’s page description language.
PostScript has become a standard for
graphic design and layout software.
PostScript files can contain both vector
and raster data. Fonts are described using
PostScript coding. Many desktop
publishing systems produce PostScript
data as their output data stream.
PostScript printer description (PPD)
A file that contains options for printing
PostScript data on various printer devices.
PPD
PostScript printer description.
preflight
To assess all resources for a job before the
actual print run.
prepress
Work done in the print shop before
printing a job, such as preparing data and
art, page imposition, color retouching,
electronic editing, and page layout.
print database
The set of files on disk that provide a
permanent repository for the attributes of
all print objects, such as logical
destinations, queues, and actual
destinations.
print job
Synonym for
job
.
Print Quality Enhancement (PQE)
A printer facility that provides edge
smoothing along diagonal lines, fine
fidelity protection, and independent
boldness control.
Print Services Facility (PSF)
Any of several programs, including PSF
for AIX, PSF/MVS, PSF/VM, and
PSF/VSE, that produce printer commands
from the data sent to them.
print system
A group of one or more print servers and
one or more printing devices, which
might or might not be located in the same
geographical area. The components of a
print system are assumed to be
interconnected in some manner, providing
at least one network interface to print
clients, and acting synergistically to
supply the defined document print
service. (D)
printable document
In InfoPrint, an object that represents text
or data to be printed by a job. Contrast
with
resource document
.
printer description file (PDF)
A file that contains options for printing
PostScript data on a specific printer
device.
printer device
The physical output device that performs
the printing function. See also
physical
printer
.
printer driver
A file that describes the physical
characteristics of a printer or other
peripheral device. This file is used to
convert graphics and text into
device-specific data at the time of printing
or plotting. Synonymous with
device
driver
.
priority
In InfoPrint, a number assigned to a job
that determines its precedence in being
printed. Jobs with higher priority
numbers are handled before jobs with
lower priority numbers.
process color
Color made up of CMYK links simulating
a specified color. This is the traditional
method of reproducing continuous tone
color images (color separations). Because
of the nature of color inks, certain inks do
not reproduce well.
processor
In a computer, a functional unit that
interprets and executes instructions. A
processor consists of at least an
instruction control unit and an arithmetic
and logic unit. (T)
promote
In InfoPrint, the action used to move a job
to the beginning of the queue so that it
will print on the next available printer
that can handle that job.
