CYMK

Acronym for cyan, yellow, magenta, and black; the four colors used in the

specifying color using CYMK color values. (K is used for black because B is

used to represent blue in RGB.)

intensity of the sound coming from the printer), adjusted for background

noise.

Dithering

A method by which color dots are combined on a page to produce a wide

spectrum of colors.

Double-high characters

Characters that are twice as tall as the default characters.

Double-strike

One way your printer produces bold characters. Using this method, dots

are placed slightly above the dots previously printed to form a character,

giving the character a thicker appearance. To use the double-strike feature,

your application package must support it.

Double-wide characters

Characters that are twice as wide as the default characters. This results in

half as many characters per inch.

Download buffer
