Glossary
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standardized coding system for assigning numerical codes to letters
and symbols.
auto line feed
When this setting is turned on using the default-setting mode, each carriage return (CR) code is automatically followed by a
line feed (LF) code.
bidirectional printing
Printing in which the print head prints in both directions (bidirectionally). This increases the print speed but may reduce precise
vertical alignment. Bidirectional printing is this printer’s standard printing mode.
buffer
The portion of the printer’s memory used to store data before it is printed.
character table
A collection of letters, numbers, and symbols that constitute the set of characters used in a particular language.
characters per inch (cpi)
A measurement of the size of text characters.
compress printing
This function reduces the size of the data. You can compress your printing data to the ratio of 75%.
continuous paper
Paper that has sprocket-feed holes on both sides, is perforated between pages, and is supplied in a folded stack. Also called
fanfold paper.
control code
A special code used to control a printer function such as performing a carriage return or line feed.
cpi
A measurement of the size of text characters.
data dump
A troubleshooting method that helps identify the cause of communication problems between the printer and the computer.
When the printer is in hex dump mode, it prints each code that it receives in hexadecimal notation and ASCII characters. Also
called hex dump.
default
A value that takes effect when the equipment is turned on, reset, or initialized.
dithering
A way of arranging dots on a page to simulate a shade or tone.
dot matrix
A method of printing in which each letter or symbol is formed by a pattern (matrix) of individual dots.
draft
The print mode used by your printer when you select Draft as the font. The Draft font uses less dots per character for faster
printing.
driver
A software program that sends commands from the computer for using the functions of a particular printer.
ESC/P
®
Abbreviation for Epson Standard Code for Printers. This is the system of commands your computer uses to control your printer.
It is standard for all Epson printers and supported by most application software for personal computers.
ESC/P 2
™
The enhanced version of the ESC/P printer command language. Commands in this language produce laser-like results, such as
scalable fonts and enhanced graphics.
