About this manual
This StarLu.~erPrinter4111Application.~Manual gives you the information
you need to program the Star Micronics LaserPrinter 4111.
Why would you read this book? Most people using a laser printerjust run
software packages with built-inprinter drivers, which look after everything
their computers send their printers. But many of us— smallbusinesspeople
and home computer users, not to mention the wizards who write those
software packages— want to benefit from all the new featuresoffered by our
printers.
Do you wantcompletecontroloverthecharacters and imagesyouprint?This
manual provides the software help you need to get the most from your
LaserPrinter 4111.
Though this Applications Manual is really intended for intermediate to
advanced computer users, we’ve tried to accommodate relative novices too.
The information is organized so you can walk through the general theory
underlying printer programming before dancing into specific details. It

There’s agood reason to readeach chapter from itsstarttoo. People learning
how to use a new printer often find the terminology a barrier. So instead of
burying what may be newjargon in a Glossary at the back, we define each
new term the first time itappears. The whole first part of thechapter on fonts,
for example, defines different aspects of afhzt (a collection of characters of
the same size and style).
