The decap time of an ink type indicates, for how long an ink
cartridge can be exposed, to the surrounding air without
capping, before the ink starts to dry within the nozzles. Ink
which is dried within the nozzles reduces the print quality when
starting or resuming a print job.

Prior to dispatch, the printer’s default settings are programmed.
These factory settings are saved under the configuration
number “0”. They continue to be active until another
configuration number is selected and setting modifications are
carried out.
A Direct Addressing Printer prints the address directly onto a
substrate (e.g. an envelope). A non-direct way of addressing a
substrate would be applying an address label.
dpi (dots per inch) describes how mayn picture elements
(pixels) are printed per inch (25,4 mm).

In dye-based inks the chromophore elements of the ink are
solute particles (dye). An advantage of a dye-based ink is the
longer decap time compared to a pigmented ink. An example
for an dye-based ink is "Black Dye".

The escape character EC is a command initiation within the
ASCII. This character is not printed. The characters that follow
after the escape character are detected by the printer as
command codes.

In a Fixed-Head printer, the cartridges are in a fixed position
during printing. The substrate are passed underneath the
cartridges. This allows higher production speeds compared to
Shuttle-Head printers.

A font is a collection of characters and symbols of the same font
type and distance, the same size (height), line thickness and
font direction. Fonts may be installed internally in the printer or
may be loaded externally via font cartridges.
They contain fonts which can be loaded in the printer.
