User Guide
decomposer A Print Server subsystem that generates the bitmap image that is based on
the PDL file.
decomposition service A process within the print service that allows, through the use of various
applications and options, the saving of files as TIFF image files.
default A particular setting or value for a variable that is assigned automatically by
the software and remains in effect until cancelled or changed by the operator.
This setting is designed to produce the best results using the available
settings. See also; System Specified.
device Any piece of equipment that accepts PDL jobs and provides output resulting
from those jobs. A laser printer capable of interpreting PDL and outputting
text and images is a device. Equivalent terms for “device” are “printer”,
“printing device”, “output device”, and “raster device”.
device dependent A feature associated with a particular model of device. Device-dependent
features result in output varying from one printing device to another.
diagnostics The programs that are used to diagnose problems within the system or to help
service personnel pinpoint the source of such problems.
directory Logical grouping of files and subdirectories that are identified by name.
DocuSP The Xerox application software that runs on the workstation which becomes
the interface connection between the client and the printer. DocuSP is now
named the Xerox FreeFlow Print Server.
dpi Dots per inch.
driver A program that links a peripheral device to the operating system.
dry ink The minute particles of resin and carbon black toner that are deposited and
fused onto the page to create images.
duplex To print on both sides of a sheet of paper.
edge treatment Lead Edge Screening is used to prevent fuser wraps on documents that print
edge to edge by lightening the image along the leading edge, thus reducing
the amount of toner. Some documents contain a dense image along one edge
of the paper causing an increase in the amount of toner in that region. If that
region is at the leading edge of the paper, the excess toner may cause the
paper to wrap around the fuser and jam the printer.
error message A message displayed on the system or printed on an error page, informing you
of an error or a fault that occurred with the processing of a job.
Error Page A page printed at the end of a print job that includes error messages, if any
occurred.
Ethernet The network architecture standard consisting of a coaxial cable and
associated components for connecting workstations to each other, file servers,
and peripherals. This communication system enables workstation users to
share information and services.
Exception Pages Pages within a job where special page characteristics are set. Exception Pages
can be a different stock size or color, side imaged or other options available on
the FreeFlow Print Server.
extension The portion of a filename that follows a period. In some instances the
extension identifies the file type. For example, .ps would specify a PostScript
file.
