  50. SOME PRELIMINARY LASERWRITER G SNOOOPING AROUND
  51. ===============================================
  52. by  Don Lancaster
  53.  
  54.  
  55. Hoo Haw. And GOTCHA!!
  56.  
  57. Apple purportedly has published a POSTSCRIPT ADDENDUM FOR THE LASERWRITER
  58. F and G. Unfortunately, after zillions of calls and email, I've yet to
  59. see a copy. And the LaserWriter G is TOTALLY USELESS without this document
  60. in any non-Mac environment.
  61.  
  62. So, what follows is my preliminary snooping around to try and guess what
  63. has to be in the addendum.
  64.  
  65.  
  66. SOME VERY EARLY COMMENTS:
  67. =========================
  68.  
  69. The LaserWriter G is stunning real Adobe PostScript Level II on a Canon SX
  70. engine. You gotta have it NOW. Nothing else matters.
  71.  
  72. Important advantages of level II include open font paths, full fax ability,
  73. filters, video compression, binary format, faster hex dumps, full forms 
  74. capability, more color options, cacheable user paths, and a soft ice cream
  75. dispenser.
  76.  
  77. Full details in the RED BOOK II, in stock here via [SYNERGETICS] email.
  78.  
  79. The G is also the first sanely priced machine that lets you do medium to
  80. medium-high quality photographic halftones as a routine part of your
  81. laser printing.
  82.  
  83. The G is an incredible memory hog in the photograde mode. Five megs isn't
  84. enough to print a full sheet. you need eight. You are allowed thirty-two.
  85.  
  86. You can mix and match serial 19200 baud from an IBM or whatever with
  87. Appletalk from the Mac. Invisibly and on the fly. Just be sure to end
  88. each serial file with a [D].
  89.  
  90. The Zapf Dingbats are no longer ROM resident. You have to download them or
  91. get them off disk. There is a new Emulator font on which I am not yet clear.
  92.  
  93. I didn't find any way to shut off the Photogray with the Mac utilities. 
  94. Apparently you are only supposed to turn off the Photogray from an IBM or
  95. an Apple IIe. (see below).
  96.  
  97. The comm buffer lengths and allowable number of stack entries in a proc
  98. are now much higher.
  99.  
  100. The speed of the G is nice but not stunning. Meowwrrr, our puddy tat, prints
  101. in 24 seconds, compared to 36 on a turbo PS820. On the other hand, my
  102. histogramstuff is only slightly faster. I suspect the greatest improvements
  103. take place in character rendering and in non-linear clipping operations.
  104.  
  105. Most users, of course, will SEVERELY baud rate themselves on the LaserWriter
  106. G, and, thus, all timing measurements (except those DIRECTLY running from
  107. hard disk files) will thus be TOTALLY MEANINGLESS.
  108.  
  109. The edge enhancement is horizontal only, giving a pseudo 300x600 resolution.
  110.  
  111. A special ethernet connector is needed before you can use ethernet. I do
  112. suspect that ethernet will be crippled by forced AppleTalk supervisory
  113. overhead. The timing results of other reviewers support this.
  114.  
  115. My prediction is around 17 kilobaud effective for AppleTalk and 21 kilobaud
  116. effective for Ethernet, when running a typical PostScript 10K file. Or around
  117. a third of the speed of an Apple IIe game paddle port. Thus, hacked Shared
  118. SCSI comm is the ONLY fast way to talk to the G.
  119.  
  120. The hard disk system is different enough that you have to reinitialize. But
  121. apparently the same commands remain. Apparently the font cache is now only
  122. allowed to be read from outside the server loop.
  123.  
  124. The PhotoGrade looks great, but it might not work too well for camera ready
  125. output. It also requires adjustment and should use special toner. I suspect
  126. that plain old 600 x 600 is a SLIGHTLY better choice overall. But the QMS
  127. MR series is still stuck down on level I. 
  128.  
  129. The absence of a bolt-on duplex option is MONUMENTALLY STUPID. Duplexing
  130. ridiculously improves your throughput and stunningly adds to employee 
  131. morale. Scrap rates are negligible and errors are far less.
  132.  
  133. FONT PATHS ARE NOW FULLY OPEN! (see below)
  134.  
  135. Some results follow in more or less random order...
  136.  
  137.  
  138. SETTING PHOTOGRADE AND RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT:
  139. ==============================================
  140.  
  141. First, here's about as blunt an instrument as you can get. There's no obvious
  142. way to "capture" outgoing mac commands from within the G utilities. Since
  143. most persistent value changing utilities start with a ....
  144.  
  145.                 serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  146.  
  147. I simply redefined "begin" to print the rest of the message! Like so...
  148.  
  149.       serverdict begin 0 exitserver             % make it persistent
  150.  
  151.       1000 string /strrx exch def               % define a string
  152.  
  153.       /Helvetica findfont [10 0 0 10 0 0] makefont setfont  % pick font
  154.  
  155.       /begin {currentfile strrx readline pop /msg exch def
  156.       50 300 moveto msg show showpage} def
  157.  
  158.  
  159. Nee nee naa naa noo noo noo. Also hoo boy.
  160.  
  161. One minor gotcha: The utilities will not change something that does not need
  162. changed. So if something isn't readable (such as a PhotoGrade screen) change
  163. to another one and then try again.
  164.  
  165. This was used to dump the key PhotoGrade and Resolution enhancement details.
  166.  
  167. The key commands all reside in the --pagedevice-- dictionary
  168.  
  169. Here is how to read the --pagedevice-- (or any other) dictionary...
  170.  
  171.         currentpagedevice {exch == == (\r) print flush} forall 
  172.  
  173. And here is what the dictionary looks like...

  247.  
  248. Note that PreRenderingEnhance is the Photograde and PostRenderingEnhance
  249. is the resolution enhancement
  250.  
  251. Soooooo......
  252.  
  253.  
  254. TO TURN ON THE RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT:
  255. ======================================
  256.  
  257.           serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  258.  
  259.           <</PostRenderingEnhance true>>setpagedevice
  260.  
  261.           quit 
  262.        
  263.        
  264. TO TURN OFF THE RESOLUTION ENHANCEMENT:
  265. =======================================
  266.  
  267.           serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  268.  
  269.           <</PostRenderingEnhance false>>setpagedevice
  270.  
  271.    
  272.  
  273. TO TURN ON THE PHOTOGRADE:
  274. ===========================
  275.  
  276.           serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  277.  
  278.           <</PreRenderingEnhance true>>setpagedevice
  279.  
  280.           quit 
  281.        
  282.        
  283. TO TURN OFF THE PHOTOGRADE:
  284. ===========================
  285.  
  286.           serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  287.  
  288.           <</PreRenderingEnhance false>>setpagedevice
  289.  
  290.           quit
  291.    
  292.  
  293. TO CHANGE THE SELECTED HALFTONE SCREENS:
  294. ========================================
  295.  
  296. The slider in the SET PHOTOGRADE Mac utility has five positions. From
  297. left to right they set screens of 53, 75, 83, 106, and 150 DPI
  298.  
  299.  
  300.   53 DOT, 45 DEGREE (leftmost slider)
  301.   ===================================
  302.  
  303.   serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  304.   <<<</PreRenderingEnhanceDetails<</DefaultHalftone/53x45>>>>setpagedevice   
  305.   quit

  307.  
  308.   75 DOT, 0 DEGREE (slider left of center)
  309.   ========================================
  310.  
  311.   serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  312.   <<<</PreRenderingEnhanceDetails<</DefaultHalftone/75x0>>>>setpagedevice   
  313.  
  314.  
  315.   83 DOT, 56 DEGREE (center slider)
  316.   ===================================
  317.  
  318.   serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  319.   <<<</PreRenderingEnhanceDetails<</DefaultHalftone/83x56>>>>setpagedevice   
  320.   quit
  321.  
  322.  
  323.   106 DOT, 45 DEGREE (slider right of center and DEFAULT)
  324.   ========================================================
  325.  
  326.   serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  327.   <<<</PreRenderingEnhanceDetails<</DefaultHalftone/106x45>>>>setpagedevice
  328.   quit
  329.  
  330.  
  331.  
  332.   150 DOT, 0 DEGREE (rightmost slider)
  333.   ======================================
  334.  
  335.   serverdict begin 0 exitserver
  336.   <<<</PreRenderingEnhanceDetails<</DefaultHalftone/160x0>>>>setpagedevice   
  337.   quit
  338.  
  339.  
  340. HARD DISK COMMANDS
  341. ==================
  342.  
  343.   These should be the same as in the Apple White Book and in my ASK THE GURU
  344.   reprints. Both Available via [SYNERGETICS] email. More on this later.
  345.  
  346.  
  347. FONT PATH GRABBING:
  348. ==================
  349.  
  350.   Grabbing font paths for perspective, star wars, etc, is trivially simple
  351.  
  352.  
  353.          /Helvetica findfont [50 0 0 50 0 0] makefont setfont
  354.  
  355.          0 0 moveto  mark
  356.  
  357.          (T) false charpath
  358.  
  359.          {/moveto cvx}{/lineto cvx}{/curveto cvx}{/closepath cvx} pathforall
  360.  
  361.          ] cvx  /tee exch def
  362.  
  363.          100 200 moveto tee stroke
  364.  
  365.          showpage 
  366.  
  367.  
  368. Needless to say, I will be going bonkers over this later. The trick to a
  369. nonlinear text transform is simply to intercept the four pathforall 
  370. procs, and then substitute x' and y' for each x and y of each moveto,
  371. lineto, and for all six control points of each curveto.
  372.  
  373. More details in LASERWRITER SECRETS and ASK THE GURU, available via
  374. [SYNERGETICS] email.
  375.  
  376. Lots of characters are allowed in your font path, and you can easily
  377. change fonts on the fly.
  378.  
  379.  
  380. SOME DICTIONARY DUMPS
