Glossary
Auto-Continue
Auto-Continue mode can be configured using the printer’s control
panel (refer to the printer User’s Manual).
Aspect Ratio
The ratio of the width to height of an image.
Baud Rate
Baud rate is the rate at which information is transferred between
the computer and the printer. To communicate properly, the
computer and printer must both be configured to the same
baud rate.
Bound and Unbound Fonts
A bound font is a font which contains a pre-specified set of
symbols, such as Roman-8, PC-8, etc. An unbound font (or
more accurately, unbound typeface) has the capacity to be
bound to a set of symbols selected from a complementary
Symbol Index (such as HP’s Master Symbol List - MSL, or the
Unicode symbol list). See Chapter 10, “User-Defined Symbol
Set” for more information.
CAP (Current Active Position)
The PCL cursor position refers to the Current Active Position
(CAP), like the blinking underline character (cursor) used on
most computers. This “cursor” identifies the current position on
the page; the pointer, where a printing command begins laying
out page data. The cursor can be moved anywhere within the
logical page using a combination of horizontal and vertical
cursor positioning commands and control codes (see Chapter 6,
Cursor Positioning).
