The printer driver translates the commands coming from a<br />
software application (e.g. Bulk Mailer Designer) into printer<br />
commands. A printer driver must fit to both the software<br />
application and the printer model.<br />
see cartridge<br />
The printhead is mounted at the movable printhead carriage.<br />
The correct distance between the cartridge nozzles and the<br />
paper is important for a clear and sharp printout. The<br />
recommended distance is about 1 millimeter.<br />
Read and Print (R&P) describes a production process in which<br />
the information to be printed onto a document (e.g. address<br />
onto an envelope) is obtained, shortly before the actual<br />
printing, by a reading device (e.g. a camera or a barcode<br />
reader). The information is NOT printed sequential (e.g. from a<br />
database).<br />
In a R&P production process each document is assigned exactly<br />
to one piece of information (e.g. one entry from a database).<br />
The assignation is done by the reading device.<br />
The resolution tells you how many picture elements a print<br />
process can print per area. Usually the resolution is stated in<br />
dpi (dots per inch) Apart from the resolution, the drop size and<br />
the accuracy of drop positioning determine the print quality.<br />
see dpi<br />
The separating fingers enable single-sheet feed from a print<br />
media stack. The sheets above the bottom sheet are held back.<br />
A serial interface transfers data consecutively (bit by bit) from<br />
the computer to the printer. It is connected with the help of a<br />
RS-232-C connector.<br />
A selection of arranged configurations.<br />
In a shuttle-head printer, the ink cartridge is moved back and<br />
forth by a carriage. Therefore it is possible to print over a wide<br />
area.<br />
see Fixed-Head Printer<br />
TCP/IP is the abbreviation for the communication protocols<br />
“Transmission Control Protocol” and “Internet Protocol”. These<br />
protocols are used for the communication between devices<br />
within computer networks.<br />
see Ethernet<br />
TIJ is the abbreviation for “Thermal Ink Jet”. Hereby a picture<br />
element (= ink drop) is created with the help of thermal<br />
energy.<br />
