User Guide
fault A condition which prevents proper processing of a print job and requires the
intervention of an operator. For example, a paper jam is a fault.
filename A name of a file or a directory.
fill The PostScript graphic operation in which the inside of a shape is painted with
some color, such as black or a pattern.
finishing The operations that are performed after a document leaves the press. For
example, binding is a finishing operation.
fixed disk A disk drive permanently mounted within a computer. Same as hard disk.
font A complete set of alphanumeric characters and symbols that have common
characteristics such as style (typeface), point size, weight, and stress.
Computers store font images in data files, defined in either bitmap or contour
format. For example, 10 point Helvetica Light Italic.
font renderer This is an option that allows the System Administrator to select the rasterizer
that will be used to process PCL jobs that contain scalable fonts. Additional
parameters may be set for the selected rasterizer to enhance the printing of
Intellifont and True Type fonts.
format The layout of a document, including margins, page length, line spacing, and
font; to prepare a disk to accept data.
frame The unit of data within a packet whose specifications are defined by the
network architecture and network communications protocol.
FreeFlow Print Server The Xerox application software that runs on the workstation which becomes
the interface connection between the client and the printer.
FTP File Transfer Protocol: A network protocol layer used for reliably transferring
files over a network, built upon TCP/IP.
fuser wrap A condition, resulting in a paper jam, during which the output sheet of paper
sticks to the fuser roll and the paper curls around the roll.
gateway A network switching device used to connect incompatible networks.
Graphical User
Interface (GUI)
A graphics based user interface. It acts as a means of input/output allowing
users to interface in a more intuitive and effective way. GUIs consist of
windows, icons, and pull-down/pop-up menus.
grayscale An image in which each picture element (pixel or dot) is defined as a gray
value as opposed to black or white values. An image file may contain different
numbers of gray values depending on its resolution. A halftone screen is
applied to grayscale images to prepare them for printing on devices that are
capable of printing only solid black dots.
GUI See Graphical User Interface.
Half Bitting A control that simulates a partial change in position of a pixel by printing
every other pixel and allowing the printer to smooth out the ripples. The
resulting effect is that peaks and valleys of the pixels are smoothed.
halftone screen A tool used in the offset printing, typesetting, and laser printing process to
convert a continuous tone (photographic) image to dots. This allows the
image to be printed using one of the printing processes.
hard disk A disk drive permanently mounted within a computer. Same as fixed disk.
head to head To print the reverse side of a page so that the finished document opens like a
book.
