faster printing,and forms support that speeds up printing of repeti- tive backgrounds or forms by allowing the forms to be used for multiple pages rather than requiringthem to be regenerated for each page.

Software language switching -

Installingthe HP PostScript Cartridge Plus device driver on an IBM PC or compatible allows reliable, automatic switching between HP PCL and PostScript under MSDOS or Windows. Software supports language switching on Novell networks, and third-party software is available to support language switchmgon non-Novell networks.

ATM- This provides screen fonts for what-you-see-is-what- you-get (WYSIWYG)under Windows or on a Macintosh. With all 35 fonts available users need to make no additional purchases to obtain font WYSIWYG.

New HP JetDirect cards

.forUNIX-based systems

HP JetDirect cards (P/Ns C2059T, C2071T,and C2071S) for UNIX- based systems now are available. These network peripheral interfaces are designed to directly connect Hewlett-Packard peripherals to TCP/IP Ethernet networks with HP-UX, SunOS,and SCO UNIX systems.

The supported peripherals include the HP LaserJet11, IID, III, IUD, and IUSi printers and the HP DesignJet plotter. These interfaces are the newest in the HP JetDirect card family.

Features and benefits

Peripheral location - Printers

and plotters can be located anywhere on a network by connecting them directly to the network cable. They are no longer confined to host system locations because of serial or parallel cable length limitations.

PNoomumnce- Performanceis maximized by taking advantage of faster network transmission speeds, ratherthan being limited by serial or parallel performance bottlenecks associated with direct system YO connections and external printlplot server boxes. For example, the increased processing speed of the

HP LaserJet mSi printer makes the HP JetDirect interface 15 times fasterthana typical parallel port, depending on the speed and configuration of the network operatingsystem.

Network m a n a g m t -The

new HP JetDirect cards are compatible with standardsimple

network management protocol- based network management applications, such as

HP Openview Interconnect Manager.

Ease of use - An easy-to-use configuration utility is provided to step you through the configura- tion process on the host spooler system.

Diagnostics-The new

HP JetDirect cards are compatible with common UNIX-based systems diagnostics. They are also shipped with advanced diagnostic utilities for collecting network statisticsand peripheral-specific status information. A test page can be produced on the peripheral that contains extensive configura- tion and troubleshooting infonna- tion specific to the HP JetDirect card.

Flexibility - Peripheralscan be set up to receive jobs from one central master spooling system or from multiple spoolingsystems. Print and plot jobs can be sent across network routers to net- worked printers and plotters.

Operating system support -The

operatingsystems supported by the new HP JetDirect cards include HP-UX 7.Xl8.X (version depends on the HP 9000 system), SunOS 4.1.1on Sun SPARC systemsonly, and SCO UNIX Vl386 Release 3.2 Version 2.

Investment yrotection -The new HP JetDirect cards can be used with a wide range of HP peripher- als, including HP LaserJet11, IID, III, IIID, and IUSi printers and the HP DesignJet plotter. This allows you to upgrade existing peripher- als in addition to putting new peripherals on your UNIX-based system network.
