R
Random Access Memory (RAM)
The working memory of the computer in which programs and data are temporarily
stored while you use them. Resetting or shutting off the computer clears all
information from RAM. Printing very complicated documents might require closing
other running programs or adding more RAM to the computer. See also Physical
RAM, Virtual memory.
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, but prints faster than higher resolutions. Higher resolution provides
smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs,
but prints more slowly. This printer can produce output with 300 or 600 dpi resolution.
Resolution values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example,
600 x 600 dpi.
S
Scalable fonts
Scalable fonts allow characters to be printed in various sizes and rotation angles. This
is different from bitmap fonts, which are printed in fixed sizes and angles.
Scaling
Enlarging or reducing the printed image.
SCoA
ScoA is an original Canon print data compressor and forwarding technology, which
utilizes the full potential of your computer to make CAPT high speed printing a reality.
Further, as compression and forwarding are efficient, only a small amount of memory
is used, and regardless of how much data you send, you do not need to increase
RAM.
Separator page
Optional pages printed at the beginning of each document to help separate one print
job from another.
Server
A network computer that is directly attached to the printer. The server controls the
printer and handles print jobs sent from the clients. See also Client.
