2 Description InfoPrint 75 and InfoPrint 100 models featuring IPDS have a number of advantages over conventional printers. With IPDS you can: Use the printer's all-points-addressable printing to print text, graphics, images, or barcodes at any point on a page or that is within the printers printable area. Print text in a variety of type styles and switch fonts within a printed page. Use both images and vector graphics to print line drawings, pie charts, bar charts, graphics, logos, tables, and signatures. Combine text with images and graphics on the same page (creating what is known as a composite document). Electronically store (and later print) forms and letterheads that are always printed in the same predetermined type style. Electronically store (and later print) text where the type style printed is the same as that used in the rest of the text. Print any of 25 different kinds of barcodes in many sizes and with a number of variations, including USPS Intelligent Mail barcode. Print either portrait (upright, letter orientation) or landscape (printing "on the side," with the page wider than it is tall). Switch from printing of IPDS print jobs and PCL print jobs (and PostScript print jobs if installed) and vice versa without operator intervention. Print control edge marks to allow easy separation of the print out by print jobs. InfoPrint75 and InfoPrint 100 support the following IPDS Architecture command sets: Device Control (DC1) Text (TX1 with PTOCA PT1 and PTOCA PT2) IM Image (IM1 with IMD1) IO Image (IO1 with IOCA FS bit Grayscale via halftoning) Graphics (GR1 with GOCA DR/2V0) Page Segments (PS1) Overlay (OL1) Loaded Font (LF1 and LF3) Bar Code (BC1 with BCD1) Feature descriptions IPDS, Non-Japan, Mdl 001 and 002 (#4311) - Initial order These features provide IPDS on an initial order.
