HP Latex 3000 Printer - Manual (Page 308)

Ethernet
A popular computer networking technology for local area networks.
Firmware
Software that controls your printer's functionality and is stored semi-permanently in the printer (it can be updated).
Gamut
The range of colors and density values reproducible on an output device, such as a printer or monitor.
I/O
Input/Output: this term describes the passing of data between one device and another.
ICC
The International Color Consortium, a group of companies that have agreed on a common standard for color profiles.
Ink cartridge
A removable printer component that stores ink of a particular color and provides it to the printhead.
Ink density
The relative amount of ink that is deposited on the substrate per unit of area.
Ink deposit
The printheads sometimes expel a small amount of ink into the ink deposits in order to check the status of each nozzle.
Ink limits
A means of specifying the maximum amount of ink of all colors in total that can be laid down onto a given substrate.
Ink restrictions
A means of specifying the maximum amount of each color of ink that can be laid down onto a given substrate.
IP address
A unique identifier that identifies a particular node on a TCP/IP network. It consists of four integers separated by dots.
LED
Light-Emitting Diode: a semiconductor device that emits light when electrically stimulated.
Nozzle
One of many tiny holes in a printhead through which ink is deposited onto the substrate.
Passes
The number of passes specifies how many times the printheads will print over the same area of substrate.
Platen
The flat surface within the printer over which the substrate passes while it is being printed on.
Printhead
A removable printer component that takes ink of a particular color or colors from the corresponding ink cartridge(s) and
deposits it on the substrate, through a cluster of nozzles.
Printhead cleaner roll
A roll of absorbent material used to clean surplus ink from the printheads after each pass over the substrate.
Spindle
A rod that supports a roll of substrate while it is being used for printing.
Substrate
A thin, flat material made to be printed on.
TCP/IP
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: the communications protocols on which the Internet is based.
Tension
Tension is applied at the input and the output side of the printer. It needs to be evenly distributed along the whole width
of the substrate, thus substrate loading is a critical operation.
