MSR — Magnetic stripe reader. Magnetic stripes are found on the back of credit cards.
N
null modem cable —
A type of serial cable wired so that the send data (SD) line from the host goes to
the receive data (RD) pin of the printer connector, and the send data (SD) signal
from the printer returns to the receive data (RD) pin of the host’s serial
connector. It is also called a “cross cable.” This type of cable is required for serial
communications between a host and printer. (Communications from a host to a
modem use a straight-through cable.)
NV — Non-volatile. The data in this type of memory is not lost when power is turned
off.
O
OLE POS — Also called OPOS. A standard using Microsoft’s OLE technology to support POS
devices in a Windows environment.
P
page mode — In this mode, the printer collects data and formatting commands in its buffer
until printing is specified with the
ESC FF
or
FF
command. (See standard mode
for reference.) This mode gives the printer more flexibility in formatting, so that
it can print character data and bar code data or other graphics data on the same
line. Printer values can be stored separately in page mode and standard mode.
partial cut — This type of cut made by the autocutter leaves one small segment of the receipt
uncut.
