interprets special format codes so the printer can print a page
that matches what you created on the screen. XEROX
desktop laser printers have their own printer drivers so you
can take full advantage of the printer’s features.
Printer macro Used by the page description language to
send often-repeated commands and specifications, such as
linefeed and carriage return information. (Printer macros are
transparent to the user.)
Printer name The default name assigned to each XEROX
NIC, for example, XNExxxxxx_1, or another valid printer
name the user chooses and assigns when running SETUP. See
Valid Printer Name.
Printer reset See Reset.
Protocol A set of rules governing the exchange of data
between data processing devices.
PSERVER emulation Software that runs on a file server or a
network interface card and that enables the file server or
printer to function as a print server.
Q Queue See Print Queue.
R Radio button A type of feature selection device found in the
RUI and SMS Client Software. The radio button is used for
selecting one option among a group of mutually exclusive
options.
RAM Random Access Memory—read and write memory.
This is commonly referred to as just “memory.” RAM is
available on RAM chips and holds information that is used by
the printer. The information may be discarded at the end of a
print job, when you exit an application, or when the printer is
reset, depending on what kind of information it is: incoming
data for printing, downloaded soft fonts or printer macros for
the current PDL.
Random Deletions See Deletions - Random.
