GLOSSARY OF TERMS
Fonts downloaded from a disk to the printer memory. Soft
fonts are also referred to as downloaded fonts. Unlike resident
fonts, soft fonts are available only when in the printer memory.
Programs that control the computer and printer to perform
specified tasks, such as word processing, database
management, and preparation of spreadsheets. Software is
sometimes referred to as application software.
The total space at the top of the printed page. The top margin
is the sum of the top-of-form setting, the software-specified top
margin, and the printer’s TOP-MRG setting.
The logical top of the physical page, as “understood” by the
printer when loading paper. The default TOF settings are 1
inch (25.4 mm) for both cut sheets and continuous forms.
A method for feeding continuous forms through the printer.
Holes on the sides of the forms fit over sprockets on two
tractors located inside the printer.
Printing is performed in one direction only, left to right.
Unidirectional printing is slower than bidirectional printing,
but the vertical alignment is more accurate. Unidirectional
printing is useful when precise vertical alignment is required,
as in ruled tables.
