RAM random access memory. Storage that allows data, such as
documents, to be stored and retrieved directly by address location
without reading through any other data.
data Binary data, usually consisting of dots arranged in scan lines,
according to the print order.
rasterization Creation of a page’s bit map image for printing.
read/write head Input/output device that reads and writes data in the form of magnetic
dots on the surface of an external storage medium, such as a
magnetic disk.

specialized software recovery routine gains control and attempts to
resolve the error without crashing the system.

encompasses two functions: deleting old text and inserting new.

resolution Number of dots per unit. The LPS imaging system converts a
character from digitized data into a printed image composed of these
tiny dots. The greater the number of dots per inch, that is, the
resolution, the clearer the image that is produced.

rewritten.
