Appendix

Printers and Faxes folder (Printers folder)

The container in which your printer and fax information is stored.

Properties dialog box

The dialog box that contains information about a particular device, such as a printer.

Proportional spacing

The spacing of characters according to the width of each character. This variable

spacing between each character closes up awkward space and makes text easier to

read.

Queue

A list of files that are either waiting to be printed or are currently printing. Once a file

has been printed, it is removed from the print queue.

Random Access Memory (RAM)

The working memory of the computer in which programs and data are temporarily

stored while you use them. Resetting or shutting off the computer clears all

information from RAM. Printing very complicated documents might require closing

other running programs or adding more RAM to the computer. See also Physical

RAM, Virtual memory.

Reinstall

To remove installed software and install again.

Resolution

The density of dots for any given output device, expressed in terms of dots per inch

(dpi). Low resolution causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged

appearance, but prints faster than higher resolutions. Higher resolution provides

smoother curves and angles as well as a better match to traditional typeface designs,

but prints more slowly. This machine can produce output with 600 dpi resolution.

Resolution values are represented by horizontal data and vertical data, for example,

600

× 600 dpi.

Scalable fonts

Scalable fonts allow characters to be printed in various sizes and rotation angles. This

is different from bitmap fonts, which are printed in fixed sizes and angles.
