is
currently the fastest-printing,
font-scaling solution available for
HP LaserJet
I11 family printers
and Windows
3.0

now
offers:
l
Printer driver support in Windows
3.0
for HP LaserJet IIIP and IIISi
printers.
l
High-quality (WYSIWYG) screen
fonts, allow you to view printed
documents before they print. Your
output appears the way you want
the first time you print.
l
On-the-fly font scaling without
ever leaving your Windows
3.0
ap-
plication. And because fonts are
generated on-the-fly, you don't
need to use hard disk space to
store them.
All the benefits of scalable type,
giving you the ability to add per-
sonality and stature

Network printer interfaces for HP LaserJet
II,
IID,
Ill,
and lllD printers
Now, with HP's expanded line
of network printer interface
cards, you can easily connect
HP LaserJet
11, IID, 111, and IIID
printers anywhere on a LAN. The
new cards are designed for Ether-
net or Token Ring
(4
or
16
Mbit)
networks running
Novel1 NetWare
or 3Com
3
+
OPEN. The user-
installable interface cards slide
into the optional
I/O slot located
in the rear of the printer. Features
include:
l
Location flexibility
-
HP Net-
work Printer Interfaces allow
printers to be placed where they
are needed
-
close to users. It is
estimated that more than half of
the HP LaserJet printers on
LANs
today are physically connected to
the file server, which is often in
an inconvenient location. By elim-
inating the physical connection
to the file server, printers may be
located in the workgroups served,
and network administrators can
restrict access to mission-critical
file servers.
l
Improved performance
-
Higher-
performance printing solutions
are needed now more than ever
before. The network printer inter-
face improves LAN printing per-
formance in two ways.
First, complex documents print
faster. The network printer inter-
face transfers data two to three
times faster than typical parallel
interfaces. Improved data transfer
rates from the network allow the
HP LaserJet printer to print
graphics-intensive documents
faster. When compared to a
printer connected to a file server,
users gain an even greater speed
advantage. For example, five
full-
page, scanned images are sent to
identical HP LaserJet
111 printers.
One is connected with a Network
Printer Interface, the second by
parallel cable to a
high-perfor-
mance server. The printer with
the network printer interface will
print all five pages in the time it
takes the other
~rinter to com-
plete the first page.
Second, the load placed on the file
server is reduced. The HP Net-
work Printer Interface transfers
data in large blocks. By compari-
son, a parallel interface transmits
data one byte at a time; every
one-
byte transfer requires file server
interaction. LAN performance is
improved overall with the Net-
work Printer Interface because
the faster, more efficient commu-
nication allows the file server to
spend less time on network print-
ing and more time on its other
functions.
