Glossary G-7
HP-GL
An acronym for Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language, the programming
language on which HP plotters are based. Your QMS 1725 SLS Print
System has a resident HP-GL emulation.
IDE
An acronym for Integrated Drive Electronics. “Integrated” refers to the fact
that all of the controller electronics are on the drive itself, so no separate
adapter card or expansion slot is required. See also
SCSI.
Imageable Area
The maximum area of a sheet of media capable of being printed on. It is
subject to both hardware limits (the physical page size and the margins
required by the print engine) and software constraints (the amount of
memory available for the full-page frame buffer).
Interface
The place where two devices are physically connected, allowing them to
communicate.
Interface Cable
A special cable used to connect the printer to the computer so they can
communicate.
Interface Port
Your printer comes with three standard interface ports—serial, parallel, and
AppleTalk—located on the back panel. An optional interface port is avail-
able through the installation of an optional network interface card. See also
network interface card.
Jam Recovery
The printer’s ability to reprint the jammed page and then continue with the
print job once you remove the jammed media. With most printers, if a jam
occurs, you must reprint the job after removing the jammed media.
