Q. What is PostScript?

A. PostScript is a programming language written specifically for displaying

information. Its main purpose is to simplify the task of transferring

graphics to the printed page. The PostScript language differs from other

programming languages such as C, PASCAL or BASIC because it is not a

general purpose programming language. The graphic capabilities include

printing of geometric shapes, as well as text, that may be scaled to any

size, stretched, skewed, reversed and filled with a pattern. Another

important fact is that PostScript has the ability to scale resident fonts to

any point size, Unlike other printer languages that only support bit-mapped

fonts of specified sizes.

Q. What version of the Adobe PostScript interpreter is incorporated into the

EPL-7500?

A. The EPL-7500 utilizes version 52.3, revision 0 of Adobe's PostScript

interpreter.
