Brother hl 1650 - B/W Laser Printer- User Manual

iv Control code An ASCII code that tells the computer to perform a particular function, such as a carriage return. Control panel reset A reset or factory reset performed using the printer control panel. Cross-hatching A method of shading using perpendicular diagonal lines that cross one another. Cur...

vii P e n Although this printer is a laser printer the HP-GL/2 and HP-GL graphics languages retains the notion of a pen and allows you to select between two pens, white and black. You must select a pen before you can draw anything. The HP-GL and HP-GL/2 language were originally developed for use wit...

viii Print position The position from which printing of the next character or graphic object will begin, providing that no operations that change the print position are performed in the interim.

ix Proportional spacing Fonts intended for high quality typographic output use a method of character spacing in which the space occupied by a single character on a line of text depends on the individual design of the character. This is known as proportional spacing. Scalable fonts are almost invaria...

x Secondary font In LaserJet mode the printer maintains two current font settings. The secondary font is the second of these.

xi Serif A kind of typeface normally used for body text. Serif typefaces have little hooks (serifs) on the individual characters that makes text more readable. Soft clip limits See graphics window. The soft limits are determined by the IW command. Source image The graphic image that is applied to th...

xii User units Coordinate units specified by the user with the HP-GL and HP-GL/2 SC command. Vector graphics A method of defining graphic images in terms of coordinates, points and lines. The HP-GL and HP-GL/2 graphics languages use this method. Vertical plot size The original vertical size of an im...
