10/100BaseT
An IEEE Ethernet cabling standard using UTP (unshielded twisted pair) cable. The prefix of the
name, 10/100, defines the transmission speed of the cable as
10 or 100 Megabits per second; Base
indicates that the signal is a baseband transmission; and T indicates the cable type (twisted pair).
See also Unshielded Twisted Pair.
AppleTalk Network
Multiple computers and/or peripheral devices which are connected and adhere to the AppleTalk
communication protocol.
Application Software
Any software program, such as a desktop publishing program, word processing program, graphics
program, or any program that is installed in your computer system.
Banding
Three meanings in this manual’s context: 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.
Bitmapped Image
An image created by placement of individual dots or pixels on a grid. In contrast, vector images
are created by specifying the point locations and the description of the lines between these points.
Blanket
On offset presses, a fabric-reinforced sheet of rubber to transfer the impression from the plate
onto the paper.
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 sizes 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.
