User Guide
public net The customer’s main enterprise-wide network, comprising possibly
many segments joined by gateways and routers.
queue A subdirectory on a print server where jobs are stored until the print
server can deliver them to the printer.
Queue Manager A component of the software that allows you to create, manage, and
modify queues.
RAM Random Access Memory. Volatile memory used for temporary storage
of data and software commands, used by programs for immediate task
processing.
Raster Image Processor
(RIP) The hardware and/or software that rasterizes an image by changing
text and images into an array of pixels that will be printed.
rasterizer A portion of software that converts graphic objects made up of vectors,
or line segments, into dots for output to raster graphic screens and
printers.
reboot Reloading initial instructions into the memory of the computer. These
instructions then direct the loading of the remainder of the programs.
release Allows the selected held job to be printed. The job is placed
immediately after all printing or pending jobs in the queue.
Reprint Manager A component of the software that allows reprinting of jobs that have
been saved through the decomposition service.
Resident Fonts The fonts that are loaded on the server at the time of installation and
cannot be deleted.
resolution The measurement of the number of picture elements (pixels or dots)
per square area of unit.
RIP See Raster Image Processor.
rotation To turn a page image from its current position. 0 (zero) degrees
represents no rotation.
router A device used to connect networks or similar or different architectures
to isolate data transmission within each network.
Sample Job A print file in a specific PDL format whose printed result is known. The
output of the Sample Job on a subject printer is compared with the
known result as a diagnostic tool to determine whether the printer is
working properly.
SBM Signature Booklet Marker.
scalable fonts A mathematical equation that describes to the printer how to draw the
characters of a font. Because only one equation must be stored to
produce a character in a variety of sizes, the required amount of
memory is much less than for bitmap fonts.
scroll bar A control that is used to move the view of the data displayed in a
window or work space settings.
scrolling Using the scroll bar to view data that cannot be viewed entirely within a
single pane.
select To choose from a list of options, such as those in a menu.
