User Guide
status The current condition of a system component.
status message The information generated by an application that informs you about the
progress of a process.
stitch A finishing option which cuts and inserts the wired stitches into each print set.
Stocastic Screening The process of using randomly spaced dots instead of the traditional halftone
dots aligned along designated screen angles. The concept of Stocastic
Screening is dots that are spaced randomly will not cause moire patterns. The
Stocastic Screen prevents screening interference patterns, but it can cause
graininess and other visual artifacts.
stock The various types of paper used for printing.
stock list A list available within the interface that identifies all stock types currently
loaded on the printer or that are available to be loaded.
stock name A name assigned to a particular stock to make it easier to identify the stock
and its associated characteristics (color, weight, size, etc.) within the stock list.
string A sequence of alphanumeric characters treated as one unit of data by a
program.
stroke The weight, or width of a character or line.
subnet mask A series of 4 bytes whose bits identify the corresponding bits in a 4-byte
network—host addresses as network versus host addresses. The “1’s” in the
mask correspond to the bits used for the network address. The “0’s” in the
mask correspond to the bits used for the host address.
System Administrator The person generally responsible for configuring, operating, and maintaining
network systems and workstations. The System Administrator can access and
control all system and job data except service data and functions.
System Specified The system determines the most appropriate settings for the given job. This
could be an output location, output order, or resolution. System Specified
settings can generally be changed by selecting various FreeFlow Print Server
system options in the Setup: Preferences window. See also, default.
2D Overstrike 2D Overstrike is a PCL image quality control that causes each scan line to be
shifted by one pixel in both the fast and slow scan directions and to be
merged with the original scan line. The will cause very dark patterns to be
printed as a solid black line.
2-sided The 2-sided selection enables or disables printing on both sides of the paper.
2X scaling 2X scaling is a PCL image quality control that scales the patterns by a factor of
two. This process works well for printing user-defined patterns designed for
300 dpi.

communications protocol supported by the FreeFlow Print Server. It is a set of
data communications protocols, or a type of “language” that the devices use
to “speak” with each other.
throughput The measurement of the speed of a printer, expressed in pages per minute.
