Problem
Solutions: In the past, users of PostScript printers have had to sacrifice speed for the increased quality and flexibility native to the PostScript page description language. PostScript printers have been slowed below engine speed because of the complexity of the PostScript language. Yet, this complexity is what makes PostScript indispensable for sophisticated graphics and font-intensive applications. Adobe's new PostScript Level 2 brings enhanced processing speed, along with a wide range of new and improved features to PostScript printing. Adobe Type Manager, Display PostScript, and other enhancements have been integrated into Level 2 to increase the speed of PostScript tasks by up to ten times. Rendering a font from an outline, for example, is about twice as fast as older PostScript versions. Level 2 also brings increased functionality in other areas. It enables users to perform on-the-fly forms generation and manipulation by preserving forms or objects for overlay, rather than rebuilding them for each page. PostScript Level 2 adds new dimensions to the hard disk by using it for more than just font caching. With Level 2, one pool of memory is available for all resource needs. Arbitrary memory limitations are eliminated, so more complex graphics may be imaged and memory is used to fullest advantage. Level 2 uses data compression techniques to reduce transmission times and improve performance. Finally, PostScript Level 2 is compatible with earlier versions, so existing PostScript software can be used without changes. See also P51_2659E. |
