- OAKT printers understand a simple printer language that uses JBIG
- compression to send a bitmap (raster) image of the printed page to the
- printer. This printer language was designed by Oak Technology (now Zoran)
- and is licensed by (at least) HP for the Color LaserJet 1500. The printer
- language is highly efficient, but requires the host computer to render
- characters, halftones, etc.
-
- If you have a Windows driver for your printer and the "About" panel
- for the driver lists Copyright Oak Technology or Zoran, then you may have
- a printer that understands the OAKT language. If you print to a file
- and the first four characters of the file are "OAKT", then you have
- a printer that understands the OAKT language.
-
- There doesn't seem to be an official name for this language. Oak
- Technology calls it simply "Raster Driver". That name is not specific
- enough, so we have named it "OAKT", which are the first 4 characters
- found in the printer stream.
