three primary colors ( red,green,blue) frequently abbreviated as RGB.
When combined using additive process at varying intensities on a color
monitor, for example, these three colors can be used to create a wide

Method of feeding paper using the built-in sheet feeder.
The ability of the printer to print each time it makes
a pass across the sheet from left to right and right to left.
The printer control mode where the printer emulates the IBM Proprinter X24E.
The replaceable ink cartridges on the Color BJ Cartridge eg. BC-21e.A69
A specially designed box for storing a BJ Cartridge when it is not being used.
The container prevents the print head on the cartridge from drying out. If you
want to switch temporally from a BJ Cartridge to a Color BJ Cartridge, store
the extra cartridge in the BJ Cartridge Storage Container until you need it again.
A printer that applies ink to paper by heating the ink to boiling point until it
forms a bubble. The bubble expands until there is no room left in the nozzle, then
it is projected onto the paper.
A unit of eight bits. A byte is approximately equal to one character.
The mechanism that moves the BJ Cartridge across the
paper on the printer platen.
An abbreviation for Cyan, Yellow, Magenta, and Black, the four colors used in
the standard color model in the printing industry.

Characters per line. A unit of measurement that indicates the number of characters per printed line.
Characters per second. Used to measure a printer's speed.
A type of paper where each sheet is separated from other sheets.
A method by which color dots are combined on a page to
produce a wide spectrum of colors.
An area of the printer that holds fonts after they are downloaded from a
software program running on the host computer.
Dots per inch. A unit used to measure printer resolution. Your printer can
produce a resolution up to 720 x 360 dpi.
One of the three print modes. Use FINE for printing
on Transparencies or when printing pictures composed of halftone images
that produce grey scale or intermediate colors. The other two print modes
are HQ ( high quality) and HS (high speed).
A printer operation that ejects the current page and advances the next
page as far as its top line.
A variation in color between black and white as a

A printing method that produces shades of grey or of
color by the concentration of dots. For color printing, different dots of ink
are placed closely together to create the other dots.
A color of the spectrum such as red,green,violet, and so on.
The part of a BJ Cartridge that contains the ink supply
for the print head.
An area of the primary memory that holds files that have been sent from the host
computer to the printer.
A non-impact printer that ejects ink onto paper to form characters. Your Bubble
Jet printer is a type of ink jet printer.The connection between two devices, like computer and a printer, that makes it
spossible for them to communicate. Your printer has a parallel interface.The connector on the back of the printer where you connect the printer cable.
The other end of the printer cable is connected to the printer.
Refers to the orientation of a printed page where printing is
done across the length of the page. A landscape orientation is normally used for
financial reports done on spreadsheets that require a wider page. The term landscape
is deprived from landscape paintings framed horizontally like a rectangle on its long
side. See also portrait.
Lines per inch. The number of lines that print within one vertical inch. Most printing
is done at 6 ipi or 8 lpi.
Loading a single sheet of a paper or other media by
hand one at a time. Some types of thick paper, Back Print Film, or coated
paper should be fed manually. See automatic feed.The material you print on. The most common, inexpensive print media is Plain
Paper. You printer can also print on special media such as coated paper,
Black Print Film, OHP Transparencies, glossy paper, and High Gloss Film.
One of the three types of test prints. This test is used
to verify that each nozzle is operating properly.
The printer mode where the printer is on but you cannot
send data to the printer. In the off-line mode,you can set up the print parameters
with the setup utilities.
The printer mode where the printer ready to receive data and print.
Guiding a sheet of paper into the paper path for printing.When a sheet of paper stops in the paper path and halts paper feed.Adjusts the distance between the print head and the paper for the type of media
you are printing on and the type of cartridge that you are using.
Holds the paper in position in the printer as a page prints.Refers to the orientation of a printed page where printing is done across
the width of the page. A portrait orientation is normally used for most

A small program that sends printing instructions to a printer. You must install
the driver before you can use the printer. The driver only has to be installed
once sifter you set up the printer for the first time.The part of a BJ Cartridge that contains the nozzles that eject ink for printing.A function that automatically returns the cartridge to the home position on the
right side of the printer so the print head can be capped to prevent it from drying
out when it is not being used.Refers to how the printer is currently set to operate. There are three modes: FINE,
HQ (High Quality), HS (High Speed).Varies according to the type of paper or other media that is used. Generally refers
to the maximum size of the area where text and graphics can be printed.
Random Access Memory. Printer memory used to store
data waiting to print or to store downloaded fonts. When you switch the
printer off, all data in RAM is lost.refers to the quality of printed text and graphics. The more dots used to
print characters or lines, the better the quality. For this reason, resolution
is usually measured in dots per inch (dpi). Higher resolution means smoother
curves and crisp characters without ragged edges.An acronym for the primary colors red, green, and blue. See additive colors.
ARead only memory. Contains the default settings and residential fonts stored
in the printers. This information remains intact even after the printer is
