EPROM
Erasable Programmable Read Only Memory. EPROMs are
nonvolatile memory chips that are programmed after they are manufactured.
EP-B Cartridge
The EP-B (electrophotographic) cartridge contains a
photosensitive print drum and a supply of toner. Because the drum is
photosensitive, it must be protected from exposure to light. The cartridge,
which prints an average of 8,000 text-only pages, is replaceable.
ESP Technology
Emulation Sensing Processor technology, using a form of
artificial intelligence, analyzes incoming file data from any of your printer’s
interfaces, selects the appropriate printer language from those installed on
the printer, and processes the print job. ESP technology works with most
popular commercially available applications.
Escape Character
The escape character, Hex 1B, Decimal 27, is a special
character used to identify a printer command. It is usually not a printable
character; instead, it is used as a preface for printer command codes.
Escape Sequence
HP PCL printer commands are also called escape
sequences. They begin with an escape character.
Excess Memory Client
The memory remaining after providing all the
other memory clients with their specified amounts of memory is
automatically added to the excess memory client. The frame buffer is the
excess memory client for your QMS 860 Print System.
Expansion, RAM
See memory upgrade.
Factory Default
Factory defaults refer to the printer settings that are
programmed into the printer at the factory. These settings are used unless
they are overridden with printer commands sent through the applications or
PS Executive Series Utilities.
Field
A collection of characters that have meaning.
Fixed Spacing
Uniform horizontal spacing between characters and symbols
in a font composed of characters of uniform width is called fixed spacing.
For example, in fixed spacing an “i” has the same space allotment as a “w.”
