1.7 Glossary
This chapter should provide a quick overview of the most important key words that are
used in this documentation.
Printer
In terms of the Windows operating system a printer is an object
which can be accessed by a printing Windows application to create
print jobs.
Printers are listed in the window “Printers”. See also chapter
“Installation using pdfprninstaller.exe”.
Examples for names of Printers:
3-Heights(TM) PDF Producer
3-Heights(TM) TIFF Producer
HP Laser Jet 4050 Series PS
Names of printers can be defined by the user.
Commonly a printer is also referred to a hardware device that is able
to print a hard copy of a file. However this type of printer is not mean
in this manual.
Printer Driver A printer driver is a piece of software that is used by the printer to
translate data from the printing application (GDI) to a format that is
understandable by the printer device. The most common formats are
PostScript and PCL. The 3-Heights PDF Producer Driver creates PDF.
Printer drivers can be selected in the “Advanced” tab of a printer’s
property dialog. Multiple printers can use the same printer driver.
