represent the contrasting portions of a picture. The image may consist of any data stored as a raster pattern. The term
image is interchangeable with impression. See also impression.
impression. An implied or physical page. Used when calculating the reduction of printer output caused by switching
the printer between duplex and simplex modes or upper and lower paper supplies. See also image.
Intelligent Printer Data Stream. An architected host-to-printer data stream that contains both data and controls
defining how the data (text, image, graphics, and bar code) is to be presented. IPDS provides a device-independent
interface for controlling and managing all-points addressable printers.
interface. A shared boundary. An interface might be a hardware component to link two devices or it might be a
portion of storage or registers accessed by two or more computer programs.
IPDS. See Intelligent Printer Data Stream.
intervention. An unexpected condition that requires user intervention to clear it; for example, out of toner.
ISO sizes. Pertaining to a set of paper sizes selected from those standardized by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) for use in data processing.
jam. In a printer, a condition where forms have become blocked or wedged in the forms path so the printer cannot
operate.
JIS. Japanese Industry Standards. Used in reference to paper standards for size.
landscape orientation. Text and images that are printed parallel to the longer side of the forms. Contrast with
portrait orientation.
laser (light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation). A device that emits a beam of coherent light.
LEF. Long-edge feed. The print medium is fed into the printer long edge first.
legal-size paper. Paper that is 216 mm x 356 mm (8.5 in. x 14.0 in.).
letter-size paper. Paper that is 216 mm x 279 mm (8.5 in. x 11.0 in.).
logical page. The print on the page, such as composed text, graphics, and fonts within defined margins. See also
page. Contrast with physical page.
MRT compression. Memory Reduction Technology algorithms to compress printed pages into smaller memory
space.
NetBIOS. Local area network basic input/output system.
network interface cards. Optional features that allow the printer to attach to computer networks. The printer can
have up to two network interface cards installed, allowing it to communicate with two networks.
offline. Not connected to an installed and enabled attachment. Contrast with online.
offset stacking. The jogged stacking of output media in the output stacker so that jobs protrude from the balance of
the stack to give physical identification.
online. Connected to an installed and enabled attachment. Contrast with offline.
orientation. The number of degrees an object is rotated relative to a reference; for example, the orientation of an
overlay relative to the page point of origin. See also text orientation.
output bin. The part of the InfoPrint 20 where the printed sheets are collected.
outline font. A font whose graphic character shapes are defined by mathematical equations rather than by raster
patterns. Contrast with raster font.
overrun condition. Loss of data because a receiving device is unable to accept data at the rate it is transmitted.
page. A collection of information bound by the beginning page control and its associated end control. A page of
printing is one side of a sheet of paper or form. See also logical page and physical page.
