Data transfer is the transfer of information between the computer
and the printer.
The character size is measured in pica points. A point is 1/72 of an
inch.
DPI (= Dots Per Inch) is the measuring unit of dots per inch for the
image definition. The more dots there are, the higher the definition.
For driver, see printer driver.
The escape character E c is a beginning of a command in ASCII code.
This character is not printed; the printer recognizes the following
character as a command code.
For escape sequences, see printer commands.
The printer is programmed - prior to shipping - with standard settings.
These settings are stored in configuration "0", and they remain
active until another configuration number is selected and the
setting changes are carried out.
They contain fonts that can be loaded in the printer.
Font slant: The characters can either be printed standing straight (normal) or -
at a constant angle - standing slanted (italic).

A font is a collection of characters and symbols with the same typeface,
spacing, size (height), line width and font slant. Fonts can be
installed as resident fonts in the printer, or they can be loaded externally
from font cassettes.
Handshake is the control of the data transfer between the computer
and the printer, in order to prevent overflow or loss of data in the
printer buffer.
Hardware describes the components of your computer system, such
as computer, keyboard and printer.
The ink cartridge contains the ink for printing. After it has been used
up, the empty cartridge is replaced by a new, commercially available
one.
This is the data transmission cable that connects your computer with
the printer or other peripherals.
The PRINTER 700/710 is shipped with three interface connector
sockets (USB, parallel and serial). These are located at the rear side
of the machine over the power supply plug. The connector cable for
your computer and printer are connected here.
The line width refers to the width of the character line. There are
normal and bold line widths
Loadable fonts (soft or download fonts) are saved on disks. They
can be transferred to the printer memory.
LPI (= Lines Per Inch) is a unit measuring lines per inch for the vertical
line spacing. Printing is most frequently in 6 lpi line spacing.
