Notes on  BANNER 

1. A top-centered graphic on a web page. Esp. used in BANNER AD.

2. On interactive software, a first screen containing a logo and/or
author credits and/or a copyright notice.

3. The title page added to printouts by most print spoolers (see
SPOOL). Typically includes user or account ID information in very
large character-graphics capitals. Also called a burst page, because
it indicates where to burst (tear apart) fanfold paper to separate
one user's printout from the next.

4. A similar printout generated (typically on multiple pages of
fan-fold paper) from user-specified text, e.g., by a program such as
Unix's banner(1,6).
