The acronym for American National Standard Code for Information
Interchange. ASCII is a set of 256 codes (numbered 0 to 255) used to
communicate information between a computer and another device
such as a printer.
The speed, in bits per second, at which data is transmitted to a device
such as a printer. Baud rates apply to serial data only. 1200 baud
equals approximately 120 characters per second.
Alternate printing of lines from left to right and right to left.
Bidirectional printing is faster than unidirectional printing because
there are no carriage returns.
The smallest unit of information in computer memory. A bit is a
single digit, either a 1 or a 0, in the binary numbering system. Eight
bits equal one byte.
A storage area for data in the printer or computer. The printer’s
buffer consists of a print buffer and a download buffer. The print
buffer holds data to be printed. The download buffer holds

represents a single character, such as number, letter, or special
