A software program that helps you carry out a particular task, such as word

processing or financial planning.

The horizontal lines that sometimes appear when printing graphics. This occurs

when the print heads are misaligned. See also MicroWeave.

bit

A binary digit (0 or 1), which is the smallest unit of information used by a printer

or computer.

The lightness or darkness of an image.

buffer

The portion of the printer's memory used to store data before printing it.

byte

A unit of information consisting of eight bits.

characters per inch (cpi)

A measure of the size of text characters, sometimes referred to as pitch.

CMYK

Cyan (blue-green), magenta, yellow, and black. These colored inks are used to

create the subtractive system array of printed color.

color matching

A method of processing color data so that colors displayed on a computer screen

closely match colors in printouts. A variety of color-matching software is

available. See also ColorSync and sRGB.

ColorSync

Macintoshsoftware that isdesigned soyou get WYSIWYG(What You SeeIs What

You Get) color output. This software prints colors as you see them on your screen.

cpi

See characters per inch.

default

A value or setting that takes effect when the equipment is turned on, reset, or

initialized.

DMA

Direct Memory Access. A data transfer feature that by-passes a computer’s CPU

and allows direct communication between the computer’s memory and

peripheral devices (such as printers).

dot matrix

A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by a pattern

(matrix) of individual dots.

dpi

Dots per inch. The dpi measures the resolution. See also resolution.

drive

A memory device, such as CD-ROM, hard disk, or floppy disk. In Windows, a

letter is assigned to each drive for easy management.

driver

A software program that sends instructions to a computer peripheral to tell it

what to do. For example, your printer driver accepts print data from your word

processor application and sends instructions to the printer on how to print this

data.

economy printing

Printing in which images are printed with fewer dots to save ink.

error diffusion

Error diffusion blends individual colored dots with the colors of the surrounding

dots to create the appearance of natural colors. By blending colored dots, the

printer can achieve excellent colors and subtle color gradation. This method is

bestsuited forprinting documentsthat contain detailedgraphics orphotographic

images.

ESC/P

Abbreviation for Epson Standard Code for Printers. This system of commands

givesyou control ofyour printerfrom your computer.It isstandardfor allEPSON

printers and supported by most application programs for personal computers.

ESC/P Raster

Commands in this language produce laser-like features, such as enhanced

graphics printing.

font

A style of type designated by a family name.

grayscale

A scale of shades of gray from black to white. Grayscale is used to represent colors

when printing with black ink only.

halftones

Patterns of black or colored dots used to reproduce an image.

halftoning

Method of using dot patterns to represent an image. Halftoning makes it possible

to produce varying shades of gray using only black dots, or a nearly infinite array

of colors using only a few colors of dots. See also halftones.

head alignment

The operation to correct any misalignment of the print heads. Vertical banding

will be corrected.

head cleaning

The operation to clean any clogged nozzles for correct printing.

high speed printing

Printing in which images are printed in both directions. This provides faster

printing.

initialization

Returns the printer to its defaults (fixed set of conditions). This happens every

time you turn on the printer or reset the printer.

ink cartridge

The cartridge which contains ink.

ink jet

A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by precisely

spraying ink onto paper.

interface

The connection between the computer and the printer. A parallel interface

transmits data one character or code at a time. A serial interface transmits data

one bit at a time.

interface cable

The cable that connects between the computer and the printer.

LCD

Liquid Crystal Display. Shows various messages according to status of the

printer.

local printer

The printer which is connected to the computer’s port directly by interface cable.

media

Materials upon which data is printed, such as roll paper and cut sheets, plain

paper, and special paper.

memory

The part of the printer’s electronic system that is used to store information (data).

Some information is fixed and is used to control how the printer operates.

Information that is sent to the printer from the computer is stored in the memory

temporarily. See also RAM and ROM.

MicroWeave

Printing in which images are printed in finer increments to reduce the possibility

of banding and to produce laser-like images. See also banding.

monochrome

This means printing with only one color of ink, which is generally black ink.

nozzle

Fine tubes in the print head through which ink is sprayed on the page. Print

quality may decline if print head nozzles are clogged.

nozzle check

A method for checking the operation of the printer. When you perform a nozzle

check, the printer prints the firmware (ROM) version and a nozzle check pattern.

parallel interface

See interface.

Peer-to-peer networks

Windows support peer-to-peer networking. Any computer can access the

resources of a computer on the network.

PhotoEnhance4

The EPSON software to change the shade of tone, to correct image data and to

change the sharpness of the image data.

port

An interface channel through which data is transmitted between devices.

printable area

The area of a page on which the printer can print. It is smaller than the physical

size of the page due to margins.

printer driver

A software program that sends commands for using the features of a particular

printer. Often shortened to “driver”. See also driver.

To return a printer to its defaults by turning the printer off and then back on.

resolution

The number of dots per inch used to represent an image.

ROM

Read Only Memory. A portion of memory that can only be read and cannot be

used for data storage. ROM retains its contents when you turn off the printer.

RGB

Red, green, and blue. These colors, in phosphors irradiated by the computer

monitor's electron gun, are used to create the additive array of screen colors.

SelecType settings

Settings made using the printer’s control panel. In SelecType mode, various

printer settings that are not available using the printer driver, such as test print

settings, can be made.

spool

The first step in printing, in which the printer driver converts the print data into

codes that your printer understands. This data is then sent to the printer directly

or to the print server.

Spool Manager

The software program that converts print data into codes that your printer

understands. See also spool.

sRGB

Windows software that is designed so you get WYSIWYG (What You See Is What

You Get) color output. This software prints colors as you see them on your screen.

Status Monitor

The software program that allows you to check the printer’s status.
