A font whose characters take up varying amounts of horizontal space
depending on the width of the character. Thus the uppercase M takes up
more horizontal space than the lowercase l.
reset
To return a printer to its default settings.
resolution
A measure of the amount of detail that can be represented. Resolution
of printed images is measured using the number of dots per inch (dpi).
self test
A method used to check the operation of the printer. When you run the
self test, the printer prints the characters stored in its ROM (Read Only
Memory).
standby position
The position of your continuous paper when it is attached to the tractor
but not loaded in the printer. See also page 5 of the Glossary.
Tear Off Bin button
A control panel button that feeds the perforation of continuous paper to
the tear-off position, and when pressed again, feeds the paper back to the
top-of-form position.
tear-off position
The position of your continuous paper when you finish printing if auto
tear-off mode is on or if you press the
Tear Off/Bin
button. Using the
micro adjust feature, you can adjust the tear-off position so that the
paper’s perforation is aligned with the printer’s tear-off edge. See also
page 5 of the Glossary.
top-of-form position
The position on the paper that the printer recognizes as the first printable
line. This is the default top margin position. See also page 5 of the
Glossary.
unidirectional printing
Printing in which the print head prints in one direction only.
Unidirectional printing is useful for printing graphics because it provides
precise vertical alignment. You can select unidirectional printing using the
printer’s default-setting mode or the EPSON Remote! utility. See also
bidirectional printing.
