font. Each symbol set is defined with a specific set of application in mind.
For example, the MATH symbol set includes special characters used in
mathematical and scientific applications.
Test Configuration Page
The page generated by the print engine when the TEST/CANCEL button
on the right side of the printer is pressed when the printer of offline. This
page shows the current operating parameters of the printer, i.e., interface
type, resident fonts, RAM available, printer name, and others.
Timeout
The expiration of a predefined interval which then 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
Toner is a dry, powdered substance capable of being attracted to electri-
cally charged areas on a photosensitive revolving drum. The QMS-PS 410
printer’s EP-L 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 roller. CAUTION: Toner can stain
fabric. Handle it carefully.
