In “Getting to Know Your Star LaserPrinter 4111”we provide a listof the
features that make this a splendid printer, to help you choose which
features you want to exploit. There’s a bit on how laser printers work,
inside and out. The chapter then explains software in general terms,
including how to write control and Escape commands to make those
features work.
‘&ControllingYour Printer” examines the parameters you give the Star
LaserPrinter 4111to direct precisely how you want it to behave. These let
you control the printer, manage page formats, and specify what you want
printed.
Formostof us,the“Fonts”chapterwillbe useful:how to usethefontsbuilt
into the LaserPrinter 4111,plus those that come on cartridges or computer
disks.
You may look at chapters 4 and 5, which cover Star LaserPrinter 4111
commands. Your LaserPrinter 4111emufates (imitates) Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet 111by accepting the same commands they do.
If you want to write or modify a program that uses the Hewlett-Packard
LaserJet III, chapters 4 and 5 show how your Star LaserPrinter 4111can
emulate to accordingly.
The chapter on “Printer Control Language” is longer and more detailed
than the other. That’s because you are more likely to use laser printer
comtiands than commands for vector graphics.
The final “Technical Supplement”containingthe command and character
reference tables will m-obablvget thumbed the most.
