Glossary
fixed data Print fields containing fixed text and/or graphics that are
printed on every document or on selected documents. See also variable
data.
fixed files Files containing fixed data for each RIP. Fixed files are read
from the job file and stored in the data station. They can be referenced in
the data stream so that the same information does not have to be
repeated. See also current fixed file.
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 escapement The distance the cursor is moved from its position
for the present line to its position for the next line. The cursor can be
moved in both the X and Y dimensions in positive or negative directions.
Font escapement values are specified when defining the font.
highest row used The Y value of the last dot row used on a page. The
highest row used is one less than the page length which is the number of
rows used (the Y value of the first row is 0).
image A pattern of filled and unfilled dots. It can be a character, a line
of characters, or a graphic.
InterLine Spacing (ILS) The distance, in dots, to be added to the
space between lines specified by the font. This is the Y component of line
spacing. See also line spacing.
job file A file that contains information describing a print job. The file
can contain setup information, fixed messages, font identification, and
variable data.
line spacing X and Y line spacing values that are contained in an SFS
spacing record or as an ILS value in an SOD, SDC, SFI, or SFT record.
The ILS is the Y component of line spacing. These values are added to
the font escapement values defined in the font. See also character
spacing.
logical RIP number A number assigned to each unstitched RIP or pair
of stitched RIPs in the printing system for which the IJPDS job file is
intended. See also physical RIP number.
offset See character offset.
orientation Print fields can be rotated 360° in 90° increments, allowing
4 different orientations of 0°, 90°, 180°, and 270°. See also rotation.
origin The position in the page buffer from which SPO and SPX
commands start their measurement. The origin is set to 0,0 at the start of
each page by SOD, SDC, SOP, or WFC records and is set to the current
cursor position by the SOR record.
page The data for a document in a page buffer. If the document data is
equal to or less than the page buffer length, there is one page per
document. If the document data length is greater than the length of the
page buffer, there are two or more pages per document. See also
document.
