Glossary

Precharger wire

A fine wire in the printer’s process cartridge that imparts an electrical

charge to the photoconductive drum. The charge makes the drum
sensitive to light.

Printable area

The area of the physical page in which the printer is able to print.
Page printers have a nonprint margin, typically about .2 inch (5 mm)

wide, at each edge of the paper. The printable area is the space
within these margins. See also Margin.

Example:

Printer driver

A set of instructions in application software that translates formatting

choices into printer commands. When installing the application, the
user identifies the type of printer being used so the application knows

which printer driver to use.

Print unit

A maintenance package consisting of the photoconductive drum,

developing unit, toner, and drum cleaner.

Reset

Clears the print buffer and places the printer online. Unlike
initialization, reset leaves the currently selected settings in effect.

That is, reset does not restore the power-on defaults. See

also

Initialization.
