Bitmapped font
A font in which the character images are defined by bit maps. With
bitmapped fonts, a separate set of definitions is required for each point
size. For example, Times 10 point and Times 12 point are considered
separate fonts. See also Scalable font.

Configuration
A combination of settings that allows your computer and printer to work
together. Some of the necessary settings are in the computer or
application software, while other settings are in the printer. For example,
the interface setting must be set the same in both the computer and the
printer.
Corona wire
A fine wire in the printer that gives a charge to the paper. This charge
causes the toner on the drum to transfer to the paper.
Default
A setting automatically used when you or your application software do
not make a selection. The settings in effect when you turn on or reset the
printer are called power-on defaults. See also Factory default.
Density
The darkness of the image as it appears on the page. If the density is too
dark, the small white areas inside letters and numbers will be filled in. If
the density is too light, pinholes appear in black areas. Print density can
be adjusted with the print density dial.
Downloadable font
A font that is transferred (downloaded) to the printer’s memory when or
before it is needed. Before they are transferred, downloadable fonts are
stored on font cards, floppy disks, or the computer’s hard disk.
Downloadable fonts are also called soft fonts.
Emulation
The ability of one printer to understand the command set of another
printer. Emulations may be built into a printer’s memory or may be
supplied on optional plug-in emulation cards or cartridges.
