Reset
To restore the printer to all or some of its default
settings.
ROM
Read-Only Memory.
RPRINTER emulation
Software run on a client PC (connect
to a network-indirect printer) or a XEROX network interface
card that identifies the printer as a remote printer.
RUI
Remote User Interface. The RUI is a DS/P component
that runs on a PC and allows the user to select printer settings
from the PC rather than at the printer’s Control Panel.
S
Scalable fonts
Fonts described by formulae that produce a
font outline. The formulae can be used to scale the font up or
down (by point size).
SDF
See Standard Data File.
Serial port
A type of port in which data is transmitted and
received in bits rather than bytes. Typically used for printing
over longer distances.
Server
A special-purpose computer system (typically a PC
using a 80386 or 80486 CPU, or another processor based on
the Motorola 68000 CPU) that is connected to the local area
network and controls shared peripherals (PCs, printers, etc.).
Service Coordinator
The NLM portion of SMS that obtains
job and status information from direct-connect printers and
reports it to users running SMS Client Software. The Service
Coordinator also acquires and stores accounting data
generated by the printer assigned to it during SETUP. (The
relationship between the printer and the Service Coordinator
is stored in the Configuration File.)
SIMM
Single In-line Memory Module. A SIMM has several
connected memory chips and connects to a slot on the printer
controller board to increase the available RAM on the printer.
The 4505/4505ps and 4510/4510ps printers have two SIMM
slots and will accept SIMMs with 4 MB or 16 MB of memory,
running at 70 ns (nanoseconds).
