carriage return
The control code that returns
the
print position to
the
left margin. When
issued together with a line feed, the print position moves to the left
margin of the next line. In bidirectional printing,
the
print head may not
actually move to the left margin.
characters per inch (cpi)
A
measure of the size of text characters, often referred to as pitch. 10 cpi
(also called pica) is often
the
standard or default setting.
condensed
Printing in which each character is approximately 60% of the width of
standard characters. Useful for fitting wide tables or spreadsheets onto
the paper.
continuous paper
Paper that
has
sprocket-feed holes on
each
side, is perforated between
pages, and comes in a folded stack. Also called fanfold paper.
control code
Besides the codes for printable characters, the ASCII standard also
includes 33 other codes called control codes. These control codes perform
such functions as sounding the beeper and performing a carriage return
or line feed.
cut sheet feeder (CSF)
An optional, detachable device that automatically feeds single sheets of
paper into
the
printer.
data dump
A troubleshooting feature.
When
the printer is in data dump mode, each
code that it receives is printed in hexadecimal notation as well as the
ASCII codes that stand for
the
characters. Sometimes called hex dump.
decimal
See number systems.
default
A value or setting
that
takes effect when
the
equipment is turned on,
reset, or initialized.
