G-4 Glossary bb __________________________________________
Banding
Three meanings in the context of this manual: 1) visible changes of
shading in a gradient print; 2) lines that appear in a printed image
due to ink drying between print passes; 3) the method of processing
image data in sections.
Baud Rate
The number of bits per second sent or received by a device over a
serial interface.
Bitmapped Image
An image created by the placement of individual dots or pixels on a
grid. In contrast, vector images are created by specifying the location
of points and the description of the lines between these points.
Bleed
An image printed beyond the page margin, so that when trimmed to
size, the image extends to the edge of the sheet. A full bleed is an
image which extends to all four edges of the sheet. Most XANTÉ
printers can print up to an 11.00" x 17.00" (279 mm x 432 mm) full
bleed image on oversized (11.81" x 19.00" [300 mm x 483 mm], or
larger) media. See your manual for information about the media size
that can be used with your printer.
Buffer
A temporary data storage area. For example, a printer buffer holds
incoming data waiting to be processed for printing.
Calibration
The measurement and adjustment of hardware output against a
standard value set to ensure that output is predictable.
Cascade Printing
Printing multiple copies of the same job on more than one printer
simultaneously.
