See also Physical RAM, Virtual memory.ResolutionThe density of dots for any given output device, expressed in terms of dots per inch (dpi). Lowresolution causes font characters and graphics to have a jagged appearance, but prints fasterthan higher resolutions. Higher resolution provides smoother curves and angles as well as abetter match to traditional typeface designs, but prints more slowly. This printer can produceoutput with 300 or 600 dpi resolution. Resolution values are represented by horizontal dataand vertical data, for example, 600 x 600 dpi.Reverse Output OrderThis function allows printing pages of the document in reverse order: from the last page to thefirst page.SSSSScalable fontsScalable fonts allow characters to be printed in various sizes and rotation angles. This isdifferent from bitmap fonts, which are printed in fixed sizes and angles.ScalingEnlarging or reducing the printed image.Separator pageOptional pages printed at the beginning of each document to help separate one print job fromanother.ServerA network computer that is directly attached to the printer. The server controls the printer andhandles print jobs sent from the clients. See also Client.ShieldedA type of cable that contains a metallic sheath over the conductor material to protect the datapassing through the cable from electromagnetic interference. You need to use a double-shielded interface cable with this printer.SpoolingA process by which an application sends a document to the Spooler, rather than directly to theprinter, thus freeing the computer and application for other tasks. Spooled documents areprinted in the order they are received.iR1210G_iR1230G.book Page 7 Tuesday, June 24, 2003 2:22 PM
