resolution
A measure expressing the number of units in a given
range used to create an image. In printing, this is
expressed as the number of dots per inch (dpi)
horizontally and vertically.
ROM
Read-Only Memory. Programs, instructions, and
routines permanently stored in the printer. ROM is
not lost when power is turned off and cannot be
written to-hence the term “read-only.” ROM-resident

String. Usually commands to set printer format, etc.
serial communications The sequential transmission of data, in which each
element is transferred in succession.
serial matrix
A type of printing technology used in some impact
printers. Data are sent to the printer through either a
serial or a parallel interface, but the print head must
receive the data
serially
in order to form each
character. The moving print head uses pins to form
whole characters one at a time and one after the
other. The pins print dots according to programmed
matrix
patterns. A
line matrix
printer also forms
characters with dots in matrix patterns, but it feeds
print data in parallel to many hammers mounted on a
rapidly oscillating shuttle. The hammers fire
simultaneously to print entire lines at a time.
serif
A short line stemming from and at an angle to the
upper or lower end of the stroke of a letter or number
character.
