Glossary
Double strike printing:
Double high printing:
Double wide printing:
Download character:
Draft:
Double printing is a print quality enhancing mode which uses a double strike
with two passes of the printhead, feeding the paper 1/180" (0.14 mm)
between the first and second pass (in Epson mode only).
Double high printing makes the height of a character twice that of a normal
one.
Double wide printing makes the width of a character twice that of a normal
one.
Download character is a character which the user can design.
Draft is one of two print qualities available on this printer. Draft mode uses
a minimum number of dots per character to maximize printing speed.
Emphasized printing;
Emulation:
Escape (ESC) sequence:
Emphasized printing is a print quality enhancing mode done in one pass of
the printhead at half speed, allowing horizontally adjacent dots to be printed
producing a darker character.
Emulation means to operate like another printer.
KX-P2023 can emulate the Epson LQ-850 or the IBM Proprinter X24E.
“ESC” is a control code that begins most printer commands. The characters
which follow the "ESC” are interpreted as the command, rather than char­
acters to print.
Fanfold paper:
FF (Form Feed):
Font:
FORTRAN:
Fanfold paper has regularly sprocket holes on the left and right sides and
pages are separated by a perforation between each sheet. May also be
known as computer paperor tractor paper.
“FF” is a control code that advances the paper one page.
Font is a style and size of type designated by a family name.
FORTRAN is one of many computer programming languages, which is used
primarily in scientific applications.
Hexadecimal: Hexadecimal is a numbering system using the 16 digits, 0,1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,
7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E and F.
Initialization:
Interface:
Initialization means to reset the printer to the initial start up condition.
Interface is the connection between the two separate systems, such as the
computer and the printer. A parallel interface transfers data one character
or code at a time, and a serial interface transfers data one bit at a time.
