Epson EPL-5800L Manuel D’Utilisation

A set of characters and symbols that share a common typographic design and 
style.

A grayscale image that is composed of small dots. The dots can be close together 
to create black or more widely spaced to create gray or white areas in the image. 
Newspaper photographs are common examples of halftones.

The act of returning the printer to its defaults (fixed set of conditions).

The connection between the printer and the computer. The parallel interface of 
this printer complies to the IEEE 1284 Parallel Interface standard that supports 
the Compatibility, Nibble, and ECP modes. The USB interface is a serial interface 
that complies to Microsoft Plug and Play (PnP) specification. With the use of a 
USB hub, multiple USB peripherals can be connected to the computer at the same 
time.

Printing that is oriented sideways on the page. This orientation gives you a page 
that is wider than it is high and is useful for printing spreadsheets.

The part of the printer’s electronic system that is used to store information. Some 
information is fixed and is used to control how the printer operates. Information 
that is sent to the printer from the computer (such as downloaded fonts) is stored 
in memory temporarily. See also RAM and ROM.

Refers to the direction in which characters are printed on a page. This direction 
is either portrait, like this page, or landscape, in which the page is rotated 90°.

A font whose outline is described mathematically, allowing it to be rendered 
(printed or drawn) smoothly at any size.

A component of the printer that contains a light-sensitive print drum which 
permanently fixes the toner onto paper.

A measure of the number of characters per inch (cpi) for fixed-width fonts.

Printing that is oriented upright on the page (as opposed to landscape, in which 
the printing is oriented sideways on the page). This is the standard orientation 
for printing letters or documents.
