Q
Queue
A list of files that are either waiting to be printed or are currently
printing. Once a file has been printed, it is removed from the print
queue.
R
Random Access Memory (RAM)
The working memory of the computer in which programs and data
are temporarily stored while you use them. Resetting or shutting
off the computer clears all information from RAM. Printing very
complicated documents might require closing other running
programs or adding more RAM to the computer. See also
Physical RAM, Virtual memory.
Reinstall
To remove installed software and install again.
Resolution
The density of dots for any given output device, expressed in
terms of dots per inch (dpi). Low resolution causes font
characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance, but prints
faster than higher resolutions. Higher resolution provides
smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to
traditional typeface designs, but prints more slowly. Resolution
values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for
example, 600 x 600 dpi.
S
Scalable fonts
Scalable fonts allow characters to be printed in various sizes and
rotation angles. This is different from bitmap fonts, which are
printed in fixed sizes and angles.
Scaling
Enlarging or reducing the printed image.
Separator page
Optional pages printed at the beginning of each document to help
separate one print job from another.
Server
A network computer that is directly attached to the printer. The
server controls the printer and handles print jobs sent from the
clients. See also Client.
Shielded
A type of cable that contains a metallic sheath over the conductor
material to protect the data passing through the cable from
electromagnetic interference. You need to use a double-shielded
interface cable with this machine.
Spooling
A process by which an application sends a document to the
spooler, rather than directly to the printer, thus freeing the
computer and application for other tasks. Spooled documents are
printed in the order they are received.
