portrait orientation
The vertical print orientation in which a document is printed across the
narrower dimension of a rectangular sheet of paper. This is the print
mode typical of most letters, reports, and other such documents.

printer driver
Software that sends printing instructions to a printer. The printer driver
keeps track of the attributes of a printer and the codes a program must
send to access those attributes.
R
resolution
The density of dots for any given output device, expressed in dots per

jagged appearance, but prints faster than higher resolutions. Higher
resolution provides smoother curves and angles, as well as a better match
to traditional typeface designs, but prints more slowly.
