Star Micronics 8111 Printer User Manual


 
The Star LaserPrinter 8111 is ideal for desktop publishing. The pages it
produces make perfect photocopy or instant-print masters. And all the main
desktop publishing systems, including Aldus Corporation’s PageMaker and
Xerox Ventura Pubisher, work splendidly with the Star LaserPrinter 8111.
With “page makeup” programs like these you will be able- maybe for the
first time- to deliver communications with the impact of top-notch
graphics.
Font options
You can print with an amazingly wide variety of type fonts and sizes. The
Star LaserPrinter 8111 comes with four built-in fonts, which can be printed
from 8.5 points to 12 points in size (apoint is about l/72 of an inch).
These fonts are:
CG Times Font
Univers Font
Courier Font
Line Printer Font
Besides these, you may be able to use optional cartridges and disks to give
your Star LaserPrinter 8111 a variety of extra fonts, such as these:
Helvet
line drawing
Letter Gothic presentation fonts
Bar codes
optical character reader fonts universal product code
You can load your Star LaserPrinter 8111’s memory with fonts stored on
computer disks. Literally hundreds of fonts are marketed by font-supply
companies. Some fonts are even obtainable from computer “user groups” or
“electronic bulletin boards”. Fonts you get this way are in the public domain,
which means you don’t need to pay a licence fee to use them.
Ask your Star LaserPrinter 8111 dealer about resources like these. Desktop
publishing with laser printers is fast-changing territory, and some Star
Micronics staff people have found electronic bulletin boards and computer
user groups quite helpful in keeping up with the changing pace. If you invest
a little time this way it may repay you well.
