trailer page: An optional print job page that follows
each file printed. The trailer page is often printed even if the print
job fails, and contains messages to the user explaining the reason for
the print error.
translator: A program that changes the data syntax of
the user's file to a form that can be output to the printer.
tumble printing: A printing method in which the space
left for binding or hole-punching alternates along the two short edges
of a sheet. Right-hand pages are printed on the first side of a sheet,
so blank left-hand pages are inserted where necessary.
usable area: The area on the page where data may be
printed. When a page is scaled (enlarged or shrunk), it is scaled to
fit within the usable area, but the aspect ratio (ratio of height to
width) is preserved. If this leaves extra space on the edge of the
page, the page is centered in the usable area.
verso page: An even-numbered page in a book. In an open book, the verso page is always on the left. For example, page 2 is always a verso page. For a single sheet, the verso page is always the page on the back of the sheet. Compare with recto page.
