robust An asynchronous protocol using the XON/XOFF handshake. With
robust protocol, an XON is sent every one second by the printer.
Normal XON/XOFF operates similarly to robust, but the printer
only sends an XON after a printer problem has been corrected
(printer not busy), or when the printer is initially powered on and is
ready (operational). XOFF operates the same in both environments
and is only sent when the printer experiences a buffer full and
cannot receive any more data.
S
scalable font A font scaled within the printer to any point size.
serial interface A type of interface in which data is transmitted and received
one bit at a time over a communication line. It can function
