1.1STAR LASERPRINTER 4111HARDWARE

1.1.1Versatility

Your Star Micronics Star LaserPrinter 4111works with practically all commercial software programs and computers. With features that go beyond Star’s easy, affordable 9-pin and fast, quality-printing 24-pin dot matrix printers, the Star Laser Printer is the logical next step in the series of fine Star Micronics printers.

Your Star LaserPrinter 4111produces pages that look close to typeset quality, with up to 90,000 dots per square inch — no more NLQ (near letter quality) compromises. The Star LaserPrinter 4111produces four of those pages a minute. These numbers translate to about five times more resolution and about three times more speed than the average dot-matrix printer.

Star’s new printer is remarkably versatile. You can print complicated forms (widthwise if you want) ... detailed graphs ... your owncustomized typestyles

... digitized photographs ... other languages (including Arabic and Japanese).

You can even print your letterhead and logo as you print your letter, and reprint them directly onto a business envelope. You don’t even need to remove the paper tray to print the envelope: just slide it into the manual feed slot.
