commercial software programs and computers. With features thatgo beyond
Star’s easy, affordable 9-pin and fast, quality-printing 24-pin dot matrix
printers, the Star Laser Printer isthe logicalnext step in the series of fine Star
Micronics printers.
Your Star LaserPrinter 4111produces pages that look close to typesetquality,
with up to 90,000 dots per square inch— no more NLQ (near letter quality)
compromises. The Star LaserPrinter 4111produces four of those pages a
minute. These numbers translate to about five times more resolution and
about three times more speed than the average dot-matrix printer.
