The paper size refers to the paper format which should be<br />
printed on. When turning the layout by 180°, the top margin<br />
value is automatically detected, so that it corresponds to the<br />
set value of normal layout orientation.<br />
The parallel interface, also termed Centronics interface, is a<br />
connection from the computer to the printer. By this interface,<br />
always 8 bits (= 1 byte) are transferred simultaneously<br />
(parallel).<br />
Parity a error detection method. which is carried out via a serial<br />
interface. During data transfer, errors in the transfer process<br />
are detected. Thereby the parity of binary “ones” in an<br />
information unit (e.g. a byte) is checked.<br />
PCL (= Printer Control Language) is a command language to<br />
control printers. It was developed by Hewlett-Packard.<br />
Personalize describes the process of printing individual<br />
information onto a static, preprinted document. The most<br />
common application of personalization is the printing of the<br />
salutation at the beginning of a letter (e.g. Dear Ms. Smith,).<br />
Usually the personalization includes the addressing of this<br />
document.<br />

In pigmented inks the chromophore elements of the ink are<br />
solid particles (pigments). The advantages of a pigmented ink<br />
are a shorter drying time and higher resistances (light-resistant<br />
and abrasion resistance) compared to dye-based inks. An<br />
example for an pigmented ink is “Versatile Black”.<br />

The point size is measured in pica points. One point is 1/72 of<br />
an inch.<br />
The print area covers the maximum width which is accessible<br />
for the ink cartridge.<br />

For service purposes it can be necessary to redirect the print<br />
data, so that the data are not processed by the printer but<br />
stored in a file. This file is called a “print file”. The file format is<br />
.prn (printable file).<br />
A print unit always consists of three cartridges. With one print<br />
unit a swath of 38 mm (1 ½“) can be printed. This is is<br />
equivalent to 9 lines of text (Font: Arial, Size: 12 pt.)<br />
see cartridge<br />
The printer command is entered via the software application in<br />
order to modify the active printer configuration.<br />
