GLOSSARY-17
resolution
Number of dots per unit. The LPS imaging system converts a
character from digitized data into a printed image composed of
these tiny dots. The greater the number of dots per inch, that is,
the resolution, the clearer the image that is produced.
restart
To resume a data processing job run from a point where it was
aborted.
RIP
raster image processor. LPS option that supports the Interpress
V3.0 Publications Set.
ROM
read-only memory. Solid-state memory for programs. It cannot
be rewritten.
run
Single continuous execution of a program by a system.
save
To store programs, data, or text for retrieval at a later time.
scale
To adjust font or image size according to given proportions.
scroll
Manipulation of a display to bring upper or lower portions of a
document page into view when no space is available for the
entire document at once.
scroll bar
Part of a window that allows you to view information extending
beyond the window display.
SCSI
small computer system interface. Accepted standard for
connecting peripheral devices to computers.
secondary storage
Form of storage external to a system, such as magnetic tapes or
floppy disks.
security
1. Procedure for limiting access to the system resources,
programs, or files, to authorized personnel. 2. Protecting
programs and files from unintentional or undesired modification.
SEF
short-edge feed. The movement of paper through the printer in
the direction of the paper width (the shorter side of a sheet of
paper). For the 4635 LPS, short-edge feed allows larger sizes of
paper (up to 11 by 17 inches/279 by 432 mm) to be printed.
sequencing
Method of ordering messages, records within a file, or
statements in a program according to rank or time of entry.
sequential
In numeric sequence, usually in ascending order. As applied to a
file organization, describes files in which records are written one
after another and cannot be randomly accessed. For example,
the first 99 records in a sequential file-access file have to be read
before the 100th record is accessible.
