QMS 1660 Print System Reference G-16
Spool
An acronym for simultaneous print operations on line. Spooling is tempo-
rary storage to hold print jobs until the printer is available to process them.
Start-up Page
A page generated when you turn on the printer (unless you have disabled
it). It gives limited information on the printer, including name, pages printed,
current interface settings, and amount of RAM available.
Status Page Key
The control panel key that prints one or several pages, giving an overview
of the printer status, including the current interface type, resident fonts,
RAM available, and printer name.
Storage
A device in or on which information can be kept. There are three main types
of storage, ROM, RAM, and hard disks. ROM stores read-only data, RAM
represents temporary storage, and hard disks hold information on a more
permanent basis. See also
hard disk , RAM , ROM , spool .
System Administrator
The person in charge of managing a network; also called a network
administrator.
Timeout
The expiration of a predefined interval, which triggers some action such as
a disconnection that occurs following 30 seconds without any data activity
(in a 30-second, no-activity timeout). Timeout also refers to the length or
existence of such an interval.
Toner
A dry, powdered substance capable of being attracted to electrically
charged areas on a photosensitive revolving drum. The printer's EP (elec-
trophotographic) toner cartridge holds the toner. The toner is first attracted
to this charged area, then attracted to the negatively charged paper. The
toner is melted (or fused) in place by the fuser assembly.
Toner Cartridge
A disposable cartridge containing dry toner and a print drum. The QMS
1660 Print System uses an EP-BII toner cartridge.
