Printing to non-PostScript language printers
You can print a document on a non-PostScript language printer. However, because PostScript is the standard page-
description language for professional publishing, many high-end color and graphics features, such as screen
frequencies or color separations, cannot be reproduced on non-PostScript printers. Most imported graphics file
formats print acceptably. In general, a document printed to a non-PostScript printer should look the way it appears
on-screen when you view the document using Preview Mode.
Some vendors sell software programs that add PostScript-language capability to a non-PostScript language printer.
Check with your software reseller for availability and compatibility.
