This chapter introduces both the hardware and software aspects of the Star
LaserPrinter 8111’s personality, from fonts and print engine to ASCII and
Escape sequences.
STAR LASERPRINTER 8llI HARDWARE
Versatility
Your Star Micronics Star Laser-Printer 8111 works with practically all
commercial software programs and computers. With features that go beyond
Star’s easy, affordable 9-pin and fast, quality-printing 24-pin dot matrix
printers, the Star Laser Printer is the logical next step in the series of fine Star
Micro&s printers.
Your Star LaserPrinter 8111 produces pages that look close to typeset quality,
with up to 90,000 dots per square inch- no more NLQ (near letter quality)
compromises. The Star LaserPrinter 8111 produces eight of those pages a
minute. These numbers translate to about five times more resolution and
speed than the average dot-matrix printer.
Star’s new printer is remarkably versatile. You can print complicated forms
(widthwise if you want) . . . detailed graphs . . . yourowncustomized typestyles
. . . digitized photographs . . . other languages (including Arabic and Japanese).
You can even print your letterhead and logo as you print your letter, and
reprint them directly onto a business envelope. You don’t even need to
remove the paper tray to print the envelope: just slide it into the manual feed
slot.
