Capabilities of IPDS

A printer controlled by IPDS has 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 bar codes 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 (explained later in this chapter) 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 16 different kinds of bar codes in many sizes and with a number of variations.
• Print either portrait (upright, letter orientation) or landscape (printing "on the side", with the page
wider than it is tall).
• Print on either one side or both sides of the paper (with duplex option).
