Introduction
The ActionLaser printer offers high performance and
reliability and a wide range of features. Your printer combines a
semiconductor laser with the electrophotographic technology used
in office copiers to give you high-quality printing that is both fast
and quiet.
The imaging system used by your laser printer is driven by a
powerful computer that allows the printer to compose an entire
page in internal memory before printing. The printer can
manipulate the page it holds
in
memory to provide you with the
ability to mix text and graphics, create predefined forms, and print
with a range of fonts normally associated with typeset material.
