`
`banding The presence of extraneous lines in a printed page. Banding gen-
`erally occurs when a color printer needs to pass the print head over a
`page multiple times to print each color. if the page isn't exactly lined up
`for each ‘pass. lines may appear. Such printers are called multi—pass print-
`ers. Because of the banding problem, sirglepass printers—those that
`print all the colors in one pass—-are generally better.
`=> See also COLOR PRINTER.
`
`bandwidth The amount of data that can be transmitted in a fixed amount
`of time. For digital devices, the bandwidth is usually expressed in bits
`per second (bps) or bytes per second. For analog devices, the bandwidth
`is expressed in cycles per second, or Hertz (Hz).
`The bandwidth is particularly important for I/O devices. For example, a
`fast disk drive can be hampered by a bus with a low bandwidth. This is
`the main reason that new buses, such as AGP, have been developed for
`the PC.
