Q 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. R Random Access Memory (RAM) The working memory of the computer in which programs and data are temporarily stored while you use them.
Separator page Optional pages printed at the beginning of each document to help separate one print job from another. Server A network computer that is directly attached to the printer. The server controls the printer and handles print jobs sent from the clients. See also Client. Shielded A type of cable that contains a metallic sheath over the conductor material to protect the data passing through the cable from electromagnetic interference.
Industry-standard protocol for an application programming interface (API) for input devices such as scanners. If both the device and the application comply with the standard, they will be compatible regardless of differences in manufacturer or model. For example, with TWAIN-compatible image-processing software, you can start the scanner’s TWAIN driver from the software’s menu, scan the document and return the scanned image to its original image-processing software.
WYSIWYG Pronounced wizzy-wig, an acronym for "what you see is what you get." For example, when you format a paragraph, the line breaks that appear on the printout are exactly the same as they are on the screen.
