Terminology
Specific terms are explained as they are introduced. However, the following general
terms are used throughout:
• PostScript (PS) —A computer language designed as a page description language. The
GA-1121 uses this language to image the page and communicate with applications
and the copier/printer.
The term “PostScript” can also be used to refer to PDF data jobs. PDF is a
structured form of PostScript that provides the ability to preview, scale, and reorder
pages. Where applicable, the term “PDF” is specifically used to refer to PDF data or
jobs.
• Printer Control Language (PCL) —A computer language designed as a page
description language. The GA-1121 uses this language to image the page, and
communicate with applications and the copier/printer.
• Job —A file consisting of PostScript or PCL commands and comments that describe
the graphics, sampled images, and text that should appear on each page of a
document, and the printer options that should be used in printing, such as media
or finishing options.
• Spool —Write to a disk. Used in this manual to refer to a PostScript or PCL print job
saved to the GA-1121 hard disk drive in preparation for processing and printing.
• RIP —Acronym for raster image processing, which changes PostScript or PCL
commands into descriptions of each mark on a page. In common use as a noun, a
“raster image processor” (RIP) is the computer processor that performs this function.
