Two cartridges (one with black ink (a third-party type HP 15-compatible cartridge), one with colored inks (an original type HP 17 tri-color cartridge)) installed in an HP inkjet printer. An ink cartridge or inkjet cartridge is the component of an inkjet printer that contains the ink to be deposited onto paper during printing. [ 1]
They were also called "132-column printers". In computing, a printer is a peripheral machine which makes a durable representation of graphics or text, usually on paper. [ 1] While most output is human-readable, bar code printers are an example of an expanded use for printers. [ 2]
Printer Job Language ( PJL) is a method developed by Hewlett-Packard for switching printer languages at the job level, and for status readback between the printer and the host computer. PJL adds job level controls, such as printer language switching, job separation, environment, status readback, device attendance and file system commands. "PJL ...
In computers, a printer driver or a print processor is a piece of software on a computer that converts the data to be printed to a format that a printer can understand. The purpose of printer drivers is to allow applications to do printing without being aware of the technical details of each printer model. Printer drivers should not be confused ...
The original IBM parallel printer adapter for the IBM PC of 1981 was designed to support limited bidirectionality, with 8 lines of data output and 4 lines of data input. [citation needed] This allowed the port to be used for other purposes, not just output to a printer. This was accomplished by allowing the data lines to be written to by ...
A USB cable, by definition, has a plug on each end—one A (or C) and one B (or C)—and the corresponding receptacle is usually on a computer or electronic device. The mini and micro formats may connect to an AB receptacle, which accepts either an A or a B plug, that plug determining the behavior of the receptacle.
Inkjet printing is a type of computer printing that recreates a digital image by propelling droplets of ink onto paper and plastic substrates. [ 1] Inkjet printers were the most commonly used type of printer in 2008, [ 2] and range from small inexpensive consumer models to expensive professional machines.
USB device communication is based on pipes (logical channels). A pipe is a connection from the host controller to a logical entity within a device, called an endpoint. Because pipes correspond to endpoints, the terms are sometimes used interchangeably. Each USB device can have up to 32 endpoints (16 in and 16 out), though it is rare to have so ...
