halftone: An image made up of black toner dots. The printer simulates darker or
lighter shades of gray by printing greater or lesser amounts of dots in each area of the
image. This is a common method of printing photographs.
halftone cell: A pattern of printed dots; each dot can be turned on or off in order to
represent different percentages of gray.
high-quality fonts: Outline fonts that are shipped with the printer or purchased from
your dealer. On the Macintosh, screen fonts are used to create your documents and
the printer replaces them with high-quality fonts during the printing process. See
outline fonts.
Installer: An application that installs the software.
interface: The point at which two devices are physically connected, enabling them to
communicate. Printers have a number of sockets; you plug a connector into these
sockets depending on whether you’re communicating with the printer by network,
parallel, or serial port.
jaggies: A slang term for the effect when some fonts and images print with jagged
(rather than smooth) edges. This usually happens if you attempt to print a resized
bitmapped image or font, or if you have screen fonts but not printer fonts on the
Macintosh.
lpi: (lines per inch) A measure of the frequency of a halftone screen (usually between
53 and 200). Lpi refers to the lines of halftone spots that make up the screen. Higher
lpi usually means a better-quality image.
LocalTalk cable system: Apple’s network cable system used to support an AppleTalk
network system.
megabyte: A unit of measurement equal to 1024 kilobytes, or 1,048,576 bytes.
NEST (Novell Embedded Systems Technology): A feature of many GCC printers,
which can be used on Novell networks. Normally, a Novell network requires you to
dedicate a computer as a print server; NEST allows the printer itself to fill that func-
tion.
NetWare: Network software from Novell that enables computers to communicate
with other computers and peripherals such as printers.
network: A group of computers and peripheral devices, such as printers, that are
interconnected so they can communicate with each other. A network also includes
the hardware, such as cables that connect the devices, and the software that allows
them to communicate.
