| | postscript - encyclopedia article about postscript. |
 | | 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. | | | For a time an interpreter for this language was a ubiquitous component of laser printers A laser printer is a common type of computer printer that produces high quality printing, and is able to produce both text and graphics. |

| | PostScript Printer Description (PPD) files are created by vendors to describe the entire set of features and capabilities available for their PostScript printers. | | | The PPD can describe allowable paper sizes, memory configurations, the minimum font set for the printer, and even specify a tree-based user interface for printer-specific configuration. | | | which specifies that the printer understands PostScript Level 2, is a color device, and so forth. |

| | PostScript Introduction |
| | Typically represented in the PostScript as binary or hex data. | | | Once the printers were out there, software vendors could write software to exploit the features. | | | PostScript files produced by the Macintosh LaserWriter driver are useless without the corresponding version of the laserprep file. |

| | PostScript RIPs |
| | Depending on what computer or application you use, the printer driver could be installed as part of the application, or, more commonly, the printer driver is installed on the computer for any application to use. | | | One of the main reasons PostScript has become so predominant in the computer printing industry is because of its device-independence. | | | PostScript printers, whether 300-dpi laser printers or 3000+dpi imagesetters, need a PostScript Interpreter to translate the PostScript code into bitmap data it can use to print or image the page. |

| | Technical Memo: Selecting Optional Letter Trays On A PostScript Printer |
| | ScriptServer® for OpenVMS uses the PostScript level 1 operators "lettertray", "legaltray", etc., to select the paper tray, and for legacy reasons ScriptServer® PAN Printing System may do the same; there is no way to refer to two trays of the same size using this mechanism when media types are not available. | | | The best authority for determining media positions associated with particular input trays is the printer's PPD (PostScript Printer Description) file, which is usually distributed with the printer. | | | The contents of PPD files can be conveniently parsed and viewed with the PAN Resource Builder application, which is distributed with ScriptServer PAN software. |

| | It is possible to print to a printer without a PPD file, however the options available in the Print Setup window will not reflect the capabilities of your printer (such as available paper sizes), and the output may not appear correct. | | | If you do not print using the correct PPD file, your document might not print correctly, or not all of the printer's features will be available when you print. | | | If the printer shipped with a CD-ROM or floppy disk, it probably has the PPD file. |
