Glossary negative X and Y values. This font category permits character overlapping, vertical printing, and right-to-left printing. See also font. character A letter, number, or symbol used to represent, organize, or control data. character cell An imaginary rectangle that encloses a character image and surrounding spacing. The area can include white space for characterto-character and interline spacing. See also bounding box. character escapement The distance the cursor is moved from its position for the present character to its position for the next character. The cursor can be moved in both the X and Y dimensions in positive or negative directions. Character escapement values are specified when defining the font. corner marker A black triangle that appears in one corner of a page layout or message box to indicate the orientation and origin of the item. When a page layout or message box is rotated to 0°, its corner marker appears in the upper-left corner. cue mark A printed mark on the web that is used to synchronize printing on both sides of the web, synchronize sheeting, and verify horizontal printhead alignment. data station The component of the printing system that receives character-coded input data and produces image data in bitmap format that is sent to the printheads at the print stations. default An attribute, value, or option that is assumed when none is explicitly given. density A measure of darkness or the light-absorbing properties of the printed page. dithering The process of reducing the color bit-depth of an image while maintaining the illusion of the same color resolution (for example, converting an 8-bit image to a 1-bit image, but simulating 256 levels of color). document A unit of input data that is printed on one area of the substrate. A document may include more than one page. Most common data preparation establishes one document for each cue mark on a web or one document for each piece in cut-sheet printing. dot 1. The smallest mark that can be printed by the printing system. 2. The distance between pixels (dots) in the printed image. For example, with a 240-dpi resolution, a distance of 1 dot equals 1/240 inch. dot gain The tendency for a printed dot to grow larger than the spot it is filling. Dot gain is necessary to obtain 100 percent coverage. Font Tools 6.0
Glossary dpi duplex Dots per inch, a measure of resolution. A job that is printed on both sides of the substrate. error diffusion A dithering algorithm that uses constant-sized dots but disperses the dots in patterns with a variable amount of space between them. (Also known as stochastic screening or frequency-modulated (FM) screening.) filament A short, continuous stream of ink that extends from the orifice, which is broken into drops by the measured application of a physical vibration. See also orifice. fixed data Print fields containing text and/or graphics that are printed on every document or on selected documents. See also variable data. fixed text A text message composed during data preparation that can be printed on every document or on selected documents. Also called fixed message. font A collection of characters that have the same typeface, style, weight, and point size. In KODAK VERSAMARK Printing Systems, fonts can also contain graphics identified by one or more characters. See also category I font and category II font. font character encoding scheme Referred to in the Font Tools software simply as “encoding”, a font character encoding scheme is a method for presenting characters in digital form by mapping sequences of code numbers of characters into sequences of bytes. A single-byte encoding scheme is limited to a maximum 256 characters, with the characters having assigned values ranging from 0 through 255. A singlebyte encoding scheme may contain an arbitrary number of characters, but no single-byte encoding scheme can contain more than 256 characters. Examples of single-byte encoding schemes are US-ASCII (which uses only values 0 through 127) and ISO Latin 9. Unicode and many CJKcoded (Chinese, Japanese, and Korean) multi-byte encoding schemes use many more than 256 positions, requiring more complex mappin<strong>gs</strong>. font definition file A font template file (.fdf) that stores the settin<strong>gs</strong> that were used to create a printer font. font family name name string. The name that will be embedded in the D-Series font gamma correction For gray scale, the process of compensating for the non-linear, gray-scale response of an output device by adjusting the tone values in the input image. graphic font As used in the Font Tools software, a graphic font is a Versamark printer font comprised of images, each of which is a single character in the font.
