Glossary
Ethernet The network architecture standard consisting of a coaxial cable and associated
components for connecting workstations to each other, file servers, and
peripherals. This communication system enables workstation users to share
information and services.
Exception Pages Pages within a job where special page characteristics are set. Exception Pages
can be a different stock size or color, side imaged or other options available on
the FreeFlow Print Server.
extension The portion of a filename that follows a period. In some instances the extension
identifies the file type. For example, .ps would specify a PostScript file.
fault A condition which prevents proper processing of a print job and requires the
intervention of an operator. For example, a paper jam is a fault.
filename A name of a file or a directory.
fill The PostScript graphic operation in which the inside of a shape is painted with
some color, such as black or a pattern.
finishing The operations that are performed after a document leaves the press. For
example, binding is a finishing operation.
fixed disk A disk drive permanently mounted within a computer. Same as hard disk.
font A complete set of alphanumeric characters and symbols that have common
characteristics such as style (typeface), point size, weight, and stress.
Computers store font images in data files, defined in either bitmap or contour
format. For example, 10 point Helvetica Light Italic.
font renderer This is an option that allows the System Administrator to select the rasterizer
that will be used to process PCL jobs that contain scalable fonts. Additional
parameters may be set for the selected rasterizer to enhance the printing of
Intellifont and True Type fonts.
format The layout of a document, including margins, page length, line spacing, and
font; to prepare a disk to accept data.
frame The unit of data within a packet whose specifications are defined by the network
architecture and network communications protocol.
FreeFlow Print Server The Xerox application software that runs on the workstation which becomes the
interface connection between the client and the printer.
FTP File Transfer Protocol: A network protocol layer used for reliably transferring
files over a network, built upon TCP/IP.
fuser wrap A condition, resulting in a paper jam, during which the output sheet of paper
sticks to the fuser roll and the paper curls around the roll.
gateway A network switching device used to connect incompatible networks.
Graphical User
Interface (GUI)
A graphics based user interface. It acts as a means of input/output allowing
users to interface in a more intuitive and effective way. GUIs consist of
windows, icons, and pull-down/pop-up menus.
grayscale An image in which each picture element (pixel or dot) is defined as a gray value
as opposed to black or white values. An image file may contain different
numbers of gray values depending on its resolution. A halftone screen is
applied to grayscale images to prepare them for printing on devices that are
capable of printing only solid black dots.
