micro-feed
A feature that adjusts the top of form, printing, and tear-off
positions.
near letter quality (NLQ)
One of three print qualities available on your printer. Near letter
quality reduces the print speed and increases the number of dots
per character to produce high-resolution characters. See also draft
and high-speed draft.
number systems
Three number systems are commonly used with printers:
Decimal is base 10 and uses the digits 0 through 9. (This is the
most familiar system.)
Hexadecimal (hex) is base 16 and uses the digits 0 through 9
and the letters A through F. This numbering system is
frequently used by programmers. Any decimal number
between 0 and 255 can be expressed by a two-digit hex number.
Binary is base 2 and uses only the digits 0 and 1. All
information in computer systems is handled in binary form to
represent electrical signals that are on or off. A binary digit is
often called a bit; any decimal number between 0 and 255 can
be expressed by an eight-bit binary number.
on line
When the printer is on line, it can communicate with the
computer connected to it. The ON LINE button controls the
printer’s on line/off line status.
paper bail
The part of the printer that holds the paper flat against the platen.
