In order to print data, the printer must respond correctly to signals and
commands received from the host computer. Configuration is the process of
matching the printer's operating characteristics to those of the host computer
and to specific tasks, such as printing labels or printing on different sizes of
paper. The characteristics that define the printer's response to signals and
commands received from the host computer are called configuration
parameters. Examples are line spacing, form length, etc.
