| comp., MS | daisy-wheel printer | 菊花轮打印机 (A type of impact printer that uses a daisy-wheel type element) |
| comp., MS | default printer | 默认打印机 (The printer to which a computer sends documents if you select the Print command without first specifying which printer you want to use with a program. You can have only one default printer; it should be the printer you use most often) |
| comp., MS | dot-matrix printer | 点阵打印机 (A type of impact printer that produces characters made up of dots using a wire-pin print head) |
| comp., MS | fiscal printer | 税控打印机 (A printer with security features for tax authorities to confirm the taxes collected by the retailer) |
| comp., MS | laser printer | 激光打印机 (An electrophotographic printer that is based on the technology used by photocopiers. A focused laser beam and a rotating mirror are used to draw an image of the desired page on a photosensitive drum. This image is converted on the drum into an electrostatic charge, which attracts and holds toner. A piece of electrostatically charged paper is rolled against the drum, which pulls the toner away from the drum and onto the paper. Heat is then applied to fuse the toner to the paper. Finally, the electrical charge is removed from the drum, and the excess toner is collected. By omitting the final step and repeating only the toner-application and paper-handling steps, the printer can make multiple copies) |
| comp., MS | Line Printer Daemon | 行式打印机后台程序 (A service on a print server that receives print jobs from Line Printer Remote (LPR) tools that are running on client computers) |
| comp., MS | Line Printer Remote | 行式打印机远程工具, Line Printer Remote (A connectivity utility that runs on client systems and is used to print files to a computer running an LPD server) |
| comp., MS | local printer | 本地打印机 (A printer that is directly connected to one of the ports on a computer) |
| comp., MS | logical printer | 逻辑打印机 (The software interface between the operating system and the printer in Windows. While a printer is the device that does the actual printing, a logical printer is its software interface on the print server. This software interface determines how a print job is processed and how it is routed to its destination (to a local or network port, to a file, or to a remote print share). When you print a document, it is spooled (or stored) on the logical printer before it is sent to the printer itself) |
| comp., MS | multi-function printer | 多功能打印机 (An office machine that is able to perform multiple functions such as print, copy, scan, and send faxes) |
| comp., MS | Network Printer Installation Wizard | 网络打印机安装向导 (A wizard that guides the user through installing a printer on their network) |
| comp., MS | nonimpact printer | 非击打式打印机 (Any printer that makes marks on the paper without striking it mechanically) |
| comp., MS | page printer | 页式打印机 (Any printer, such as a laser printer, that prints an entire page at once. Because page printers must store the entire page in memory before printing, they require relatively large amounts of memory) |
| comp., MS | PostScript printer | PostScript 打印机 (A printer that uses the PostScript page-description language (PDL) to create text and graphics on the output medium, such as paper or overhead transparency. Examples of PostScript printers include the Apple LaserWriter, the NEC LC-890, and the QMS PS-810) |
| comp., MS | Printer Control Language | 打印机控制语言 (The page-description language developed by Hewlett Packard for their laser and inkjet printers. Because of the widespread use of laser printers, this command language has become a standard in many printers) |
| comp., MS | printer driver | 打印机驱动程序 (The device that communicates between your software program and your printer) |
| comp., MS | printer font | 打印机字体 (A font residing in or intended for a printer. Font cartridges are available for laser printers that allow your printer print additional fonts. Printer fonts are distinct from screen fonts, which are designed for displaying text on a computer) |
| comp., MS | Printer Job Language | 打印机作业语言 (The printer command language developed by Hewlett Packard that provides printer control at the print-job level. Using PJL commands, you can change default printer settings such as number of copies to print. PJL commands also permit switching printer languages between print jobs without action by the user. If bi-directional communication is supported, a PJL-compatible printer can send information such as printer model and job status to the print server) |
| comp., MS | Printer Migration | 打印机迁移 (A tool that allows moving (copying) print queues, settings, drivers, forms and spooler settings from one machine to another machine that has the same or a newer version of Windows) |
| comp., MS | printer permissions | 打印机权限 (Permissions that specify the type of access that a user or group has to a printer. The printer permissions are Print, Manage Printers, and Manage Documents) |

Also called the queue view) |
| comp., MS | shared printer | 共享打印机 (A printer that receives input from more than one computer) |
| comp., MS | virtual printer memory | 虚拟打印机内存 (In a PostScript printer, a part of memory that stores font information. The memory in PostScript printers is divided into two areas: banded memory and virtual memory. The banded memory contains graphics and page-layout information needed to print your documents. The virtual memory contains any font information that is sent to your printer either when you print a document or when you download fonts) |
