User Guide
command A statement that instructs the system to perform a specific operation.
command line A string of statements with possible arguments that you enter to
instruct the system to perform an operation or series of operations.
controller A primary component of the printing system that manages the
queueing and processing of print jobs sent over the network, as well as
various other tasks.
data stream The format of data passed from one device to another.
decomposer A Print Server subsystem that generates the bitmap image that is based
on the PDL file.
decomposition service A process within the print service that allows, through the use of various
applications and options, the saving of files as TIFF image files.
default A particular setting or value for a variable that is assigned
automatically by the software and remains in effect until cancelled or
changed by the operator. This setting is designed to produce the best
results using the available settings. See also; System Specified.
device Any piece of equipment that accepts PDL jobs and provides output
resulting from those jobs. A laser printer capable of interpreting PDL
and outputting text and images is a device. Equivalent terms for
“device” are “printer”, “printing device”, “output device”, and “raster
device”.
device dependent A feature associated with a particular model of device. Device-
dependent features result in output varying from one printing device to
another.
diagnostics The programs that are used to diagnose problems within the system or
to help service personnel pinpoint the source of such problems.
directory Logical grouping of files and subdirectories that are identified by name.
DocuSP The Xerox application software that runs on the workstation which
becomes the interface connection between the client and the printer.
DocuSP is now named the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server.
dpi Dots per inch.
driver A program that links a peripheral device to the operating system.
dry ink The minute particles of resin and carbon black toner that are deposited
and fused onto the page to create images.
duplex To print on both sides of a sheet of paper.
edge treatment Lead Edge Screening is used to prevent fuser wraps on documents that
print edge to edge by lightening the image along the leading edge, thus
reducing the amount of toner. Some documents contain a dense image
along one edge of the paper causing an increase in the amount of toner
in that region. If that region is at the leading edge of the paper, the
excess toner may cause the paper to wrap around the fuser and jam the
printer.
error message A message displayed on the system or printed on an error page,
informing you of an error or a fault that occurred with the processing of
a job.
Error Page A page printed at the end of a print job that includes error messages, if
any occurred.
