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.
