| | Encapsulated PostScript - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | This has become possible with the increased processing power of modern computers; when EPS was first designed this would have either have been beyond the abilities of the typical computer, or too slow to have been acceptable. | | | By placing the PostScript in the data fork and a standard Mac PICT resource in the resource fork, both images could be moved about together invisibily as if they were one file. | | | Both of these PC format EPS files have a particular disadvantage: because the PostScript data, header and preview are all in the same file, they will cause printing errors if a program does not understand the format well enough to extract only the PostScript data. |

| | Prior to the introduction of PostScript, printers were designed to print character output given the text—typically in ASCII—as input. | | | It prints PostScript documents on non-PostScript printers using the CPU of the host computer to do the rasterization, sending the result as a single large bitmap to the printer. | | | Typically, PostScript programs are not produced by humans, but by other programs. |

| | The PostScript instruction "showpage" which is normally included at the end of the file in order to tell the interpreter to print the preceeding information is removed in the Encapsulated format. | | | Encapsulated Postscript format is similar to standard PostScript but with some additional header information concerning the picture size. | | | It is possible to use the GKS PostScript driver in order to produce output files in the format Encapsulated Postscript, which is used by various text-processors (TeX, SGML, BookMaster, etc.) in order to combine PostScript-encoded data originating from different sources. |

| | Encapsulated PostScript (EPS) is a standard format for importing and exporting PostScript language files in all environments. | | | A variation of EPS embeds the preview image and PostScript text in a binary file which contains a header and the preview image in either a TIFF or MetaFile format. | | | The purpose of the EPS file is to be included as an illustration in other PostScript language page descriptions. |
