Technology that is used in two ways tin the electronic office: (1) sending a document from one location to another and (2) digitizing text from a printed page and transferring it to a computer disc or to a master for printing. | Facsimile (fax) |
A method for holding all pages of a final document together. | Binding |
A process that utilizes a beam of light that reflects off a series of mirrors with the final mirror diverting the image to a drum that transfers the image to paper. | Laser imaging |
The preparation of multiple copies or images. | reproduction |
A plain-paper copier process that uses a camera to project the original image onto a positively charged drum with the image adhering to negatively charged plain sheet of copy paper; the image is permanently fixed with a powder or liquid toner and heat. | Xerographic imaging |
The process of sorting each page into a set of pages using a stand-alone collator or a collator attached to a copier or duplicator. | Collating |
An electrographic process where tiny glass strands transmit information in the form of pulsating laser light from the original document to an electrically charged drum; tone is used to fuse the copy paper with an image of the original document. | fiber optic imaging |
A camera captures the original material which is transferred to a metal master for offset duplicating of documents that are rerun; plates are saved and reused, producing as many as 50,000 copies per plate. | Metal plates |
process for making engineering & architectural drawing copies where original document is in a translucent state with printing only on one side of page-accepts ink or pencil additions & special correction devices for deletions or erasures on the original. | Diazo |

When an operator is interrupted while making copies, the copier “remembers” the point where the original job was stopped and can continue the process from that point. | job recovery |
A process that uses a roll of wire from which staples are automatically cut to the size needed. | Stitching |
The process of making an offset master or overhead transparency from an original using a copy machine. | Electrostatic imaging |
Based on principle that grease & water do not mix, the image area is receptive to ink (grease), & the non-image area is receptive to water; the material to be reproduced is prepared on a master – direct-image master, electrostatic master, or metal plates. | Offset duplicating |
Copying original material (printed hard copy or copy drawn [usually with black ink] onto a sheet of bond paper) onto a sensitized offset master; can be used to duplicate as many as 5,000 copies. | Electrostatic master |
A group of letters, numbers, and symbols with a common typeface tat consists of two elements – typeface and point size; font refers to the style of the characters. | Type font |
