SNA character string. In SNA, a character string
composed of EBCDIC controls, optionally intermixed with
end-user data, that is carried within a request/response
unit.
skew. Refers to the paper going through the paper
path at a slight angle. This will cause the printing lines
to not be aligned properly.
stacker. A device used to hold paper or forms that
have been printed; the output device of a printer.
storage. (1) The retention of data in a storage device.
(2) In word processing, a unit into which recorded text
can be entered, in which it can be retained and
processed, and from which it can be retrieved. (3) A
device, or part of a device, that can retain data.
symbol set. In PCL5e, a particular assignment of
hexadecimal identifiers to graphic characters.
T
text orientation. The position of text as a combination
of print direction and baseline direction. See also
orientation.
throughput. A measure of the amount of work
performed by the printer over a period of time, for
example, number of jobs per day.
token ring. A network with a ring topology that passes
tokens from one attaching device to another, for
example, the IBM Token-Ring Network.
toner. (1) In a document-printing machine,
image-forming material used in electrostatic processes.
(2) A supply item for the printer. The black powder used
for printing images. Synonymous with dry ink.
toner density. The amount of toner dispersed over a
specified area. Higher toner density yields darker print;
lower toner density produces lighter print.
trailing edge. The trailing edge of the paper is the
edge of the paper that proceeds into the printer last as it
is fed from one of the paper supplies.
twinax attachment. A twinax attachment to the
AS/400.
twinax. A cable consisting of two conductors, usually

AS/400 system.
two-sided printing. Printing on both sides of a sheet of
paper. Synonymous with duplex printing. Contrast with
simplex printing.
V
valid printable area. The area represented by the
intersection of the physical page and the current logical
page. You can use the VPA CHK item on the IPDS
Menu to specify if attempts to print outside this area
cause errors to be reported to the host.
vector graphics. Computer graphics in which display
images are generated from display commands and
coordinate data. See also graphic. Contrast with raster
pattern.
