ISA/Printer

[Noriko Mizumoto]

Hi all,

Actually I'm stuck in the following translation.
I have gone through several times, checked several dictionaries but can
not still understand the situation.
Could anyone please help me.

Thanks in advance.

The <firstterm>stock</firstterm> (or thickness) of paper is also
important, as some printers have a paper path that is not **straight**.
The use of paper that is too thin or too thick can result in jams.

     Paper path which is not straight?

Depending on the type of laser printer deployed, consumable costs
usually are fixed and scale evenly with increased usage or print job
volume over time.

     Sorry, can you rephrase this for my better understanding?

Because they are relegated to **niche uses**, their prices (both
**one-time** and recurring consumables costs) tend to be higher relative
to more mainstream units.

     What is **niche uses**?
     My dicitionary says **one-time** means some kind of "be former", 
     is this right? Actually **one-time** has been used several times.

#104
This work-flow makes printing documents of any complexity **uniform**
and standard, resulting in little or no variation in **printing from one
printer to the next**.

     Can you give me clear vision?

#110
More recent departmental printers include built-in or add-on network
interfaces that **eliminate the need for a dedicated print server**.

     Is that means "that resolve the need for a dedicated print server"?

Some printers do not keep the paper flat while it is printing.  The
paper does not move through the printer in a straight motion.  The
paper path through the printer is curved.

Very thick or very thin paper may not follow the twisty path through
the printer and may get crunched and stuck within the machine.

For most printers, the cost of paper, ink and toner is a linear
function of how many pages are printed.  No matter how many pages you
print, the cost for each page remains about the same.

Some printers have very expensive parts that must be replaced  now
and then.  This is in addition to the cost of the paper, ink and
toner.

A "niche" is a very small space or container.  A "niche use" means
"for a special purpose, not widely used".

The printed pages look the same even if you print it on different
printers.

Some printers can be connected directly to your corporate network.
Other printers must be connected to a computer connected to your
network.

Hope this helps.
