To find area of memory or auxiliary storage for retrieving or
storing information; ability or permission to use printer menus.
storing information; ability or permission to use printer menus.
AppleTalk
Refers to the Apple Macintosh standard communication protocol.
application
A software program or group of programs for solving common
business tasks.
business tasks.
asynchronous
Having a variable or random time interval between successive
characters, or events. Transmission in which each character,
work, or small block, is individually synchronized (timed), usually
by the use of start and stop bits. It is referred to as character
framed transmission.

baud
Speed at which information is transferred, indicated by changes
in line condition. Baud is equivalent to bits per second (BPS),
which is the number of information (or data) bits that can be sent
through a channel in a second.

baud rate
The data transfer rate between the computer and the printer set
only if the serial interace is used. The computer and the printer
must be configured at the same baud rate. The rate can be set
from between 300 and 38,400 baud depending on the type of
computer used.

binary
Base 2 number system written with the digits “0” or “1.” See bit.
binding margin
The margin along which a page is to be bound. See long-edge
binding and short-edge binding.
binding and short-edge binding.
bit
An acronym for binary digit. The bit is the most fundamental unit
of information that a computer can accept. It has two states
called “1” (one) and “0” (zero), or “on” and “off,” and can be
used to represent a yes/no type statement. Groups of bits are
used to represent more complex statements such as a character.
The most common grouping of bits is called a byte, consisting of
eight bits.

bitmapped fonts
Bitmapped fonts have predefined sizes (fixed point size and pitch
attributes).

byte
The name given to a group of eight bits. In ASCII, each
character is represented by one byte of data.
character is represented by one byte of data.
A kilobyte is equal to 1,024 bytes; a megabyte, to 1,024 kilobytes
or 1,048,576 (1024 x 1024) bytes.
