POSTSCRIPT FOR TANDY LASER PRINTER

PageStyler for the Tandy LP 1000 Laser Printer is Radio Shack's answer
for those who demand the flexibility and printing power of a
PostScript-compatible printer.

The PostScript language has become the standard for high quality word
processing, desktop publishing/presentation, and device independent
engineering/scientific applications, and Tandy PCs have become the de
facto standard for all PC applications.

The PageStyler product line by Destiny offers all three levels of
PostScript compatibility:  interpreter software, outline fonts, and
application software drivers.  This insures a true "plug and play"
solution for the Tandy 3000/4000 computer systems.

The PageStyler product line includes:

PageStyler 2.5 Kit (905-2311) -- a CPU based option board with 2.5
megabytes of memory, 13 base PostScript-compatible outline fonts by
Bitstream, and the Destiny PostScript interpreter.

PageStyler 22 Font Kit (905-2312) -- the additional 22 fonts by
Bitstream to provide full 35 font PostScript-compatible support.

PageStyler 4.5 Megabyte Software Upgrade (905-2313) -- the software
required when the user adds their own 2 megabytes of memory to the
PageStyler 2.5 Kit.

PageStyler 4.5 Kit (905-2218) -- the complete PostScript interpreter
kit that combines the three items above with an additional 2 megabytes
of memory to provide the optimum solution.

The special Tandy version of the PageStyler board takes advantage of the
video interface of the LP 1000 Laser Printer to provide direct exchange
of information between the CPU and printer for fast printing.  Since the
PageStyler utilizes the video interface of the LP 1000, the parallel port
can still be used for those applications that require other emulations or
a second printer.

Additional Bitstream outline fonts can be added to PostScript-compatible
software to provide additional flexibility in document design.
