Printer PC Slots and Ports
Most Ink cartridge & Laser printers use traditional parallel or serial ports built into the PC or Macintosh. However, PC object printers often require a video interface, which takes up a slot. The number of slots available in IBM PCs varies from two to eight. There are usually free slots in these machines.
However, most of IBM's new PS/2s have only two or three
slots free. Filling one slot for the object printer can
be a big decision.
When an object printer receives a page, it has to translate
the page from formulas into dots. The time that is required
to do this depends on the
microprocessor and memory available in the printer. The
processor used, the clock speed the processor runs at, and
the amount of memory, are variables that influence the thinking
speed. Many object printers are more powerful than those
inside the computers that feed them data.
