printer mode
A set of operating commands that determines how data sent from
the computer is interpreted and acted upon. Printer modes can
emulate existing printers.
proportional spacing

character. For example, a capital W receives much more space than
a lowercase i. The result looks more like a typeset book than a
typewritten draft.

used as an input buffer and for storing user-defined characters,
downloaded fonts, and graphics images. Information stored in
RAM is volatile and is lost when printer power is interrupted.
reset

signal, RESET button, or by turning the printer off and on.
Resolution Improvement Technology (RITech)
This makes the jagged edges of printed lines or shapes smooth.
ROM

permanent. Information stored in ROM is used to control how the
printer operates. Resident fonts are stored in ROM.
scalable font
See outline fonts.
SelecType
A feature of the printer that allows you to set printer values and
control most of the printer’s functions from the front panel.
