In the IBM Proprinter X24E mode, International Character Set is set to USA and it can not be changed. *2 These characters are effective in both Graphic Character Set 2 of the Epson LQ-860 and IBM Proprinter X24E modes. 74 Glossary AGM (Alternate Graphics Mode): ASCII: в BASIC: Baud (baud rate): Bidirectional printing: Binary: Bit: Bit-image graphics: Buffer: Byte: с Character set: Code page: Control codes: cpi: cpI: AGM will allow you to select Epson graphics while in the IBM mode. “ASCII” is an acronym for "American Standard Code for Information Interchange”. In ASCII, each character has a unique code. BASIC is a commonly used microcomputer programming language. Baud is a unit of data transmission speed between computer devices. Can be but not necessarily equal to bits per second. Processing speed is increased by bidirectional printing. That is, the printer prints right-to-left as well as in the normal left-to-right manner. Binary is a numbering system using the two digits of zero (0) and one (1). Bit is an abbreviation for “binary digit (0—1)”, and is the smallest unit of information used by a printer or computer. Graphics which are created through a series of dots printed in vertical columns. Buffer is an area of memory which stores data temporarily. Byte is the unit of information used by a printer or computer. One byte is equivalent to eight (8) bits. Character set is the set of characters, numbers, and symbols available for printing. The computer system stores characters and numbers as a numerical data. The code page is a table which is used to change them into the numerical data. Control codes are commands from the computer to the printer that are non-printable characters. They are used to control printer functions. “cpi” is an abbreviation for “characters per inch'', and means the maximum number of characters printed in one horizontal inch. “cpi” is an abbreviation for “characters per line”, and means the maximum number of characters printed on one line. 75 Appendix Appendix Glossary cps: CR (Carriage Return): D Decimal (Dec.): Default: Dot matrix printer: Dots per inch (DPI): Double strike printing: Double high printing: Double wide printing: Download character: Draft: E Emphasized printing: Emulation: Escape (ESC) sequence: “cps" is an abbreviation for “characters per second”, and means the number of characters printed in one second. “CR” is a control code that returns the printhead to the left margin. Decimal is a numbering system composed of 10 digits 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9. Default has two meanings: one indicates the previously set conditions or settings executed when the power is turned on, reset or initialized; and the other indicates the original settings when shipped from the factory (Factory settings). An impact printer whereby wires (pins) strike the ribbon and subsequently a dot prints on the paper. The software in the printer supplies the commands which determine which pins are activated to form the appropriate character(s). A measure of resolution used for monitors and printers. Double printing is a print quality enhancing mode which uses a double strike with two passes of the printhead. Double high printing makes the height of a character twice that of a normal one. Double wide printing makes the width of a character twice that of a normal one. Download character is a character which the user can design. Draft is one of three print qualities available on this printer. Draft mode uses a minimum number of dots per character to maximize printing speed. Emphasized printing is a print quality enhancing mode done in one pass of the printhead at half speed, allowing horizontally adjacent dots to be printed producing a darker character. Emulation means to operate like another printer. This printer can emulate the Epson LQ-860 or the IBM Proprinter X24E. “ESC" is a control code that begins most printer commands. The characters which follow the “ESC” are interpreted as command, rather than characters to print. 76 F Fanfold paper: FF (Form feed): Fixed pitch printing: Font: G Graphics: Graphics mode: H Hexadecimal: Initialization: Interface: International character set: I/O: Italics: Fanfold paper has regularly spaced sprocket holes on the left and right sides and pages are separated by a perforation between each sheet. May also be known as computer paper or tractor paper. “FF” is a control code that advances the paper one page. A type of printing whereby each character is the same width and prints as equal intervals. All characters of a typeface having the same size, weight, style character table, typeface and rotation. Changing an attribute selects a new font. Groups of dots or characters that are used to create images, as opposed to text and numbers. A special mode of print in which only raster graphics printing is possible. Hexadecimal is a numbering system using the 16 digits, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8...
