ESC/P 2
The enhanced version of the ESC/P printer command language. Commands in this
language produce laser-like features, such as scalable fonts and enhanced graphics
printing.
Finest Detail
This printer driver setting automatically makes your printed images sharper and
clearer. This has the opposite effect of the Error Diffusion setting. Be aware that this
may increase the time required for printing.
font
A style of type designated by a family name.
grayscale
A scale of shades of gray from black to white. Grayscale is used to represent colors
when printing with black ink only.
halftones
Patterns of black or colored dots used to reproduce an image.
halftoning
A method of using dot patterns to represent an image. Halftoning makes it possible
to produce varying shades of gray using only black dots, or a nearly infinite array
of colors using only a few colors of dots.
hex dump
A troubleshooting feature that helps advanced users find the cause of
communication problems between the printer and the computer. When the printer
is in hex dump mode, it prints each code it receives in hexadecimal notation and
ASCII characters. Also called data dump.
high speed printing
Printing in which images are printed in both directions. This provides faster
printing. This is also called bidirectional printing.
initialization
Returns the printer to its defaults (fixed set of conditions). This happens every time
you turn on the printer or reset the printer.
ink jet
A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by precisely
spraying ink onto paper.
interface
The connection between the computer and a peripheral such as a printer. Generally,
printers have two interfaces, parallel and serial. A parallel interface transmits data
one byte, or eight bits, at a time. A serial interface transmits data one bit at a time.
italic
A typestyle in which the characters slant. This sentence is italicized.
