RAM Random Access Memory. Volatile memory used for temporary storage of data
and software commands, used by programs for immediate task processing.
Raster Image
Processor (RIP)
The hardware and/or software that rasterizes an image by changing text and
images into an array of pixels that will be printed.
rasterizer A portion of software that converts graphic objects made up of vectors, or line
segments, into dots for output to raster graphic screens and printers.
reboot Reloading initial instructions into the memory of the computer. These
instructions then direct the loading of the remainder of the programs.
release Allows the selected held job to be printed. The job is placed immediately after
all printing or pending jobs in the queue.
Reprint Manager A component of the software that allows reprinting of jobs that have been saved
through the decomposition service.
Resident Fonts The fonts that are loaded on the server at the time of installation and cannot be
deleted.
resolution The measurement of the number of picture elements (pixels or dots) per square
area of unit.
RIP See Raster Image Processor.
rotation To turn a page image from its current position. 0 (zero) degrees represents no
rotation.
router A device used to connect networks or similar or different architectures to isolate
data transmission within each network.
Sample Job A print file in a specific PDL format whose printed result is known. The output of
the Sample Job on a subject printer is compared with the known result as a
diagnostic tool to determine whether the printer is working properly.
SBM Signature Booklet Marker.
scalable fonts A mathematical equation that describes to the printer how to draw the
characters of a font. Because only one equation must be stored to produce a
character in a variety of sizes, the required amount of memory is much less
than for bitmap fonts.
scroll bar A control that is used to move the view of the data displayed in a window or
work space settings.
scrolling Using the scroll bar to view data that cannot be viewed entirely within a single
pane.
select To choose from a list of options, such as those in a menu.

job. Also referred to as “Slip sheets.”
server In a computer network, a unit that provides a specific service (such as data
storage and computer services) to network users.
settings The controls used for defining values.
Short Edge Feed (SEF) Laser printing in which the paper is fed through the imaging system short-edge
first. See also, Long Edge Feed.
