The printer driver translates the commands coming from a<br />

software application (e.g. Bulk Mailer Designer) into printer<br />

commands. A printer driver must fit to both the software<br />

application and the printer model.<br />

see cartridge<br />

The printhead is mounted at the movable printhead carriage.<br />

The correct distance between the cartridge nozzles and the<br />

paper is important for a clear and sharp printout. The<br />

recommended distance is about 1 millimeter.<br />

Read and Print (R&P) describes a production process in which<br />

the information to be printed onto a document (e.g. address<br />

onto an envelope) is obtained, shortly before the actual<br />

printing, by a reading device (e.g. a camera or a barcode<br />

reader). The information is NOT printed sequential (e.g. from a<br />

database).<br />

In a R&P production process each document is assigned exactly<br />

to one piece of information (e.g. one entry from a database).<br />

The assignation is done by the reading device.<br />

The resolution tells you how many picture elements a print<br />

process can print per area. Usually the resolution is stated in<br />

dpi (dots per inch) Apart from the resolution, the drop size and<br />

the accuracy of drop positioning determine the print quality.<br />

see dpi<br />

The separating fingers enable single-sheet feed from a print<br />

media stack. The sheets above the bottom sheet are held back.<br />

A serial interface transfers data consecutively (bit by bit) from<br />

the computer to the printer. It is connected with the help of a<br />

RS-232-C connector.<br />

A selection of arranged configurations.<br />

In a shuttle-head printer, the ink cartridge is moved back and<br />

forth by a carriage. Therefore it is possible to print over a wide<br />

area.<br />

see Fixed-Head Printer<br />

TCP/IP is the abbreviation for the communication protocols<br />

“Transmission Control Protocol” and “Internet Protocol”. These<br />

protocols are used for the communication between devices<br />

within computer networks.<br />

see Ethernet<br />

TIJ is the abbreviation for “Thermal Ink Jet”. Hereby a picture<br />

element (= ink drop) is created with the help of thermal<br />

energy.<br />
