Phaser 240 Color Printer
The Phaser 240 printer works with Macintosh computers, IBM Personal
Computers and compatibles, and various workstations. You can print from
several computers at the same time because the printer supports
simultaneous input through parallel and LocalTalk ports. An optional
Ethernet interface provides Ethernet connectivity with EtherTalk and Novell
NetWare protocols. The TCP/IP protocol is also available by purchasing an
additional option.
The printer lets you make color prints from a variety of software
applications since it incorporates Adobe's PostScript Level 2 software. The
printer also accepts HP-GL (Hewlett-Packard Graphics Language) files and
monochrome PCL5 (Printer Command Language) files. The Phaser 240
printer interfaces automatically switch between all of the three supported
languages: PostScript, HP-GL, and PCL5.
The Phaser 240 has 17 resident PostScript fonts, upgradable to 39 fonts. The
printer accepts the following types of fonts:
■
Adobe Type 1
■
Adobe Type 3
■
TrueType
■
A variety of user-defined fonts
