can be disabled are the paper trays, stackers, and the
duplex mechanism.
diskette. A thin, flexible, magnetic disk enclosed in a
protective container.
diskette-storage device. A direct-access-storage
device that uses diskettes as the storage medium.
double-byte character set. A font in which the
characters are defined by two bytes; the first defines a
coded-font section, the second defines a code point.
Contrast with
single-byte character set.
double-byte coded font. A font in which the
characters are defined by two bytes. The first byte is
the number of the coded-font section; the second byte
is the code point in the code page specified for that
section. Contrast with
single-byte coded font.
drum count. One revolution of the drum equals one
drum count.
dry ink. The material that forms the image on the
paper. Synonymous with
toner.
duplex printing. Printing on both sides of a sheet of
paper. Synonymous with
two-sided printing. Contrast
with
simplex printing.
E
edge sensitivity. A setting designed for paper with a
non-standard edge; for example, 3-hole paper.
electronic form. See electronic overlay.
electronic overlay. (1) A collection of constant data
that is electronically composed in the host system and
may be combined with variable data on a sheet during
printing. The library member that contains the definition
of the electronic overlay. See also
forms overlay,
overlay, and preprinted form.
electrophotographic process. The creation of an
image on forms by uniformly charging the
photoconductor, creating an electrostatic image on the
photoconductor, attracting negatively charged toner to
the discharged areas of the photoconductor, and
transferring and fusing the toner to paper.
electrostatic image. The invisible image consisting of
discharged areas of the photoconductor as a result of
exposure from digital data.
enable. To make functional. Contrast with
disable.
Ethernet. A 10-megabit baseband local area network
that allows multiple stations to access the transmission
medium at will without prior coordination, avoids
contention by using carrier sense and deference, and
resolves contention by using collision detection and
transmission. Ethernet uses carrier sense multiple
access with collision detection (CSMA/CD).
F
feature code. A code used by IBM to process
hardware and software orders.
fixed-space font. Synonym for uniformly-spaced font.
font. (1) A family or assortment of characters of a
given size and style; for example, 9-point Bodoni
Modern. A font has a unique name and may have a
registry number. (2) A font is data used to create an
image of each graphic character; for example, a raster
pattern.
format. (1) The arrangement or layout of data on a
data medium. (2) The size, style, type of page,
margins, printing requirements, and so on, of a printed
page.
form definition (FORMDEF). In Print Services Facility
(PSF), a resource object that defines the characteristics
of the form, which include: overlays to be used, text
suppression, position of page data on the form, and
number and modifications of a page.
forms overlay. That function of the printer that allows
customer-prepared data to be printed with variable-page
data. See also
overlay and electronic overlay.
front trays. Standard paper trays.
FRU. Field Replaceable Unit.
FSC. Field Support Center.
fuse. To use heat and pressure to blend toner onto
forms to make a permanent bond.
fuser. The assembly that bonds the toned image to
the paper using heat and pressure.
fuser cleaner brush. The component inside the fuser
unit that cleans the fuser heat roll.
G
GOCA. Graphic Object Content Architecture. An IPDS
command set that provides data control information for
printing graphics on a page, page segment, or an
overlay.
graphic. A symbol produced by a process such as
handwriting, drawing, or printing. See also
vector
graphics.
