Epson FX-1180 Printer User Manual


 
high-speed draft
A draft printing mode you can select using the default-setting mode or the
EPSON Remote! utility. High-speed draft uses a minimum number of dots
per character to produce extremely high-speed printing. See also draft and
near letter quality.
interface
The connection (via a cable) between the computer and the printer over
which print data is transmitted to the printer.
landscape
Printing that is oriented sideways on the page. This orientation gives you
a page that is wider than it is high and is useful for printing spreadsheets.
See also portrait.
line feed (LF)
A control code and control panel button that advances the paper one line
space.
micro adjust
The printer feature that allows you to precisely adjust the tear-off and
top-of-form positions.
near letter quality (NLQ)
The print mode used by your printer when a font other than Draft or
Draft Condensed is selected. Printing with near letter-quality fonts
provides better readability and appearance at a reduced print speed. See
also draft and high-speed draft.
platen
The black roller that provides a backing for the paper during printing.
portrait
Printing that is oriented upright on the page (as opposed to landscape, in
which printing is sideways on the page). This is the standard orientation
for printing letters or documents. See also landscape.
printable area
The area of a page on which the printer can print. It is smaller than the
physical size of the page due to margins.
printer driver
A software program that runs, or “drives,” a printer. Printer drivers send
commands to your printer to tell it how to print your print job.
reset
To return a printer to its default settings.
