4520/4520mp User’s Guide
Print queue
A subdirectory on the server to which print jobs
are redirected. Jobs are released from the queue and sent to
the printer when the printer is ready to accept jobs.
Print server
A computer system attached to a local area
network that provides shared printing among network
clients. The print server draws files from print queues on the
file server. Typically the print server is dedicated only to that
function—it is not used to run other end-user software.
Printer description
See Description.
Printer driver
A program that communicates between the
printer and the software application. The printer driver
interprets special format codes so the printer can print a page
that matches what you created on the screen. Xerox desktop
laser printers have their own printer drivers so you can take
full advantage of the printer’s features.
Printer macro
Used by the page description language to send
often-repeated commands and specifications, such as
linefeed and carriage return information. (Printer macros are
transparent to the user.)
Printer name
The default name assigned to each Xerox NIC,
for example, XNExxxxxx_1, or another valid printer name the
user chooses and assigns when running SETUP. See Valid
Printer Name.
Printer reset
See Reset.
Protocol
A set of rules governing the exchange of data
between data processing devices.
PSERVER emulation
Software that runs on a file server or a
network interface card and that enables the file server or
printer to function as a print server.
Queue
See Print Queue.
