Problem
Solutions: This new printer has done a lot more than just provide PostScript capabilities. Using RISC technology, HP has created the HP LaserJet IIISi printer to take PostScript to a new level of performance. In order to print in PostScript with this printer, users must purchase the PostScript option. The PostScript board is installed on the upper back right side of the printer. The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIISi printer prints PostScript documents at 17 pages per minute and up to 50,000 pages per month. It also prints graphic files at "near-engine speed." The formatting and printing of most documents will print in the few seconds it takes to physically move the page through the printer. The Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIISi printer contains two letter size input trays which hold 500 pages each. This allows 1,000 sheets (two full reams) to be available in the printer. It prints the sheets facedown, and in correct order. An optional power envelope feeder which hold 100 envelopes, allows for triple bin flexibility. A Legal tray is optional. The Technical Data sheet on the HP LaserJet IIISi printer explains that duplexing (two-sided) is optional. "Optional" only means that you can duplex a document if you choose. Duplexing is done the same way with the IIISi as it is with the IIID; selecting the sheet feeder and placing the bin number in the Paper Size/Type. In order to be able to duplex with this printer, users must purchase the duplexing option. If a user has the duplexing option, there will be a duplexing mechanism inside a panel on the lower back left side of the printer. If a user who does not have the duplexing mechanism tries to print duplex to the HP IIISi printer, a range check error will occur. This error may cause the printer to abort the print job and nothing will print. If the HP IIISi (PCL) driver is used, the printer will print the job in simplex. This printer can use various paper sizes and media, such as overhead transparencies, labels, envelopes in multiple sizes, with optional Legal, Executive, and A4 paper trays. The Technical sheets explain that you can change between PCL 5 language and Adobe PostScript. The "PostScript upgrade kit" is scheduled for release this summer. Until it is available, users can switch between languages with a batch file that is loaded resident or executed with a hot key sequence. The impact of language switching means that if you are on a network, one person could send a job in PostScript and someone else could send the job in PCL5 and the printer will switch back and forth. There is one word of caution. If you have initialized the printer with Adobe soft fonts and someone sends a PCL5 document through, the Adobe fonts will be purged from the printers memory or vice versa. As a network printer, it can be located anywhere on the network with increased print speed for all network documents. It has optional HP Network Printer Interface that supports popular network operating systems such as Novell. Optional SIMMs memory modules provide up to 16M additional memory for additional printer memory. Four memory slots are available. With the default of 1M of memory, up to a total of 17M of memory is available if the additional memory is added in the memory slots. It has the standard interfaces available of serial, parallel, modular I/O slot, and optional interfaces of AppleTalk, Ethernet, and Token Ring. The print resolution is 300 dpi, Resolution Enhancement technology microfine toner, that looks as sharp as 600 dpi. The files printed with the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIISi printer have the same quality as those produced on image setters, slide makers, and other PostScript output devices. There is no need for alteration or reformatting. |
