User Guide
Ethernet The network architecture standard consisting of a coaxial cable and
associated components for connecting workstations to each other, file
servers, and peripherals. This communication system enables
workstation users to share information and services.
Exception Pages Pages within a job where special page characteristics are set. Exception
Pages can be a different stock size or color, side imaged or other options
available on the FreeFlow Print Server.
extension The portion of a filename that follows a period. In some instances the
extension identifies the file type. For example, .ps would specify a
PostScript file.
fault A condition which prevents proper processing of a print job and requires
the intervention of an operator. For example, a paper jam is a fault.
filename A name of a file or a directory.
fill The PostScript graphic operation in which the inside of a shape is
painted with some color, such as black or a pattern.
finishing The operations that are performed after a document leaves the press.
For example, binding is a finishing operation.
fixed disk A disk drive permanently mounted within a computer. Same as hard
disk.
font A complete set of alphanumeric characters and symbols that have
common characteristics such as style (typeface), point size, weight, and
stress. Computers store font images in data files, defined in either
bitmap or contour format. For example, 10 point Helvetica Light Italic.
font renderer This is an option that allows the System Administrator to select the
rasterizer that will be used to process PCL jobs that contain scalable
fonts. Additional parameters may be set for the selected rasterizer to
enhance the printing of Intellifont and True Type fonts.
format The layout of a document, including margins, page length, line spacing,
and font; to prepare a disk to accept data.
frame The unit of data within a packet whose specifications are defined by the
network architecture and network communications protocol.
FreeFlow Print Server The Xerox application software that runs on the workstation which
becomes the interface connection between the client and the printer.
FTP File Transfer Protocol: A network protocol layer used for reliably
transferring files over a network, built upon TCP/IP.
fuser wrap A condition, resulting in a paper jam, during which the output sheet of
paper sticks to the fuser roll and the paper curls around the roll.
gateway A network switching device used to connect incompatible networks.
Graphical User Interface
(GUI) A graphics based user interface. It acts as a means of input/output
allowing users to interface in a more intuitive and effective way. GUIs
consist of windows, icons, and pull-down/pop-up menus.
grayscale An image in which each picture element (pixel or dot) is defined as a
gray value as opposed to black or white values. An image file may
contain different numbers of gray values depending on its resolution. A
halftone screen is applied to grayscale images to prepare them for
printing on devices that are capable of printing only solid black dots.
