- OVERVIEW HIGHLIGHTS
- o Full PostScript page description language capability
- - Choice of 17 or 39 outline fonts
- - Screen fonts for displaying the document as it will be
- printed
- o 3.5 Mb Memory Card supports more complex jobs in all IBM
- LaserPrinter operating modes
- - Can increase performance in PostScript mode
- - Provides storage for additional fonts.
- DESCRIPTION
- INVESTMENT PROTECTION
- Adding one of the PostScript Options extends the IBM
- LaserPrinter's ability to process more complex applications, such as
- desktop publishing. For environments where text processing is a
- primary application and PostScript processing a secondary
- requirement, this increased capability provides a convenient,
- economical solution.
- USER PRODUCTIVITY
- By providing additional capability via PostScript, PostScript
- Options allow the user to produce a wider range of printed material,
- increase the output control, and decrease time and dependence on
- others.
- NATIONAL LANGUAGE SUPPORT: A PostScript Option Guide to Operations
- is available in the following languages:
- o U.S. English
- o French
- o German
- o Italian
-
-
-
-
-
-
- o Spanish
- o Swedish
- o Danish
- o Dutch
- o Norwegian
- o Canadian French.
- The 3.5 Mb Memory Option includes documentation in French,
- German, Spanish, Italian, and U.S. English.
- POSTSCRIPT OPTIONS
- In addition to adding PostScript processing capability for the
-
- IBM LaserPrinter, each PostScript option provides screen fonts which
- allow a document to be displayed as it will be printed.
- The choice of selecting PostScript mode should be made only
- from the IBM LaserPrinter's operator panel (unlike the other IBM
- LaserPrinter-supported data stream modes which may be switched,
- dynamically, via programming commands).
- The PostScript Option and the PostScript Option Premium Font

- o Times (1) Roman
- - Regular

- SOFTWARE COMPATIBILITY
- PostScript Options for the IBM LaserPrinter have been tested for
- programming compatibility by IBM for IBM licensed programs, or by the
-
- software publishers for non-IBM programs. These tests form the basis
-
- for the compatibility results indicated, and were performed using the
-
- currently available version of the software package at the time of
- testing, or the specific version indicated. Compatibility may not be
-
-
- the same for all versions.
- Each of the application software products listed was tested on
-
- one or more members of the IBM Personal Computer family. All
- applications of the products were not tested with every IBM Personal
- Computer model; however, because of compatibility within the IBM
- Personal Computer family, similar results may be expected for each
- IBM Personal Computer or Personal System/2 (R) model on which the
- application operates.
- The software products listed do not include, necessarily, all
- software products that may be compatible with PostScript Options for
- the IBM LaserPrinter. The user should contact the software publisher
-
- for the most recent information regarding IBM LaserPrinter
- compatibility.

- application will be performed correctly by the PostScript Options for
-
- the IBM LaserPrinter. Compatibility does not imply, necessarily,
- that all printer features and functions are supported by the specific
-

- LIMITED COMPATIBILITY: Some printer-related commands issued by the
- software application will not be performed correctly by the
