these smaller dots are created by lowering
the power of the laser beam, resulting in a
smaller charge on the photoconductor
drum and less toner being placed on the
paper during printing.
Being the leader has both advantages
and disadvantages. If you are successful,
you get to set the standards. At the same
time, the competition gets to ride on your
coattails by offering the same features for
less money or more features for the same
money. This has proved true in the volatile laser printer market. With the Laser Jet III, H -P has set a new level of feature
performance. At the same time, it has also set a new level of price performance.
The Series II, with 512K of RAM, was
priced at $2,695. The LaserJet III has
1MB of RAM built in and can be expanded to 5MB. It also has PCL 5, scalable on- the -fly fonts and font rotation,
and the "Enhanced Resolution" feature.
It gives you all of this for $2,395. And HP has sweetened the pot even more by
dropping the prices on its disk -based scalable typeface products from $195 to $99.
I thought the IIP was a good deal at
$1,495. I still do. But the LaserJet III, at
$900 more, gives you a lot for that extra
$900. If the IIP is a good deal, the LaserJet III is a great one. It's going to make
choosing between them a hard choice.
Horizontal smoothing is accomplished
by using smaller dots and by offsetting
dot placement by varying on /off timing
of the laser beam. This allows dots of increasing or decreasing size to be placed
close together, creating a gradually rising
ramp rather than an abrupt "stair- step."
The enhancement can be set to light, medium or dark (or turned completely off)
from the control panel.
Resolution Enhancement is not something that jumps out at you. If you aren't
looking for the effect, you might not notice any difference. The overall visual effect, though, is that the pages just look
slightly crisper, as if they were printed at
a higher resolution. If you already have a
Series II LaserJet, and really want the enhanced resolution, you won't have to sell
or discard your old printer to get it. H -P
will offer an upgrade later in the year that
will give Series II owners PCL 5 and Resolution Enhancement. Also, third -party
add -in boards, such as Intel's Visual
Edge and others available from Laser Master and DP-Tek, also allow a Series II
printer to produce up to 1,000 dpi horizontal resolution.
In most other respects, the LaserJet III
is very much like the Series II. It uses the
same EP -S cartridge containing the photoconductor drum, developer and toner,
and sets up in about 2 minutes. The new
PCL 5 is downward compatible with earlier versions. It worked perfectly with all
of the applications I had configured for a
Series II printer. Without performing a
formal printer benchmark, I can't tell if

the new printer is any faster than the Series H. It doesn't seem to be, but then the
Series II has always delivered performance very close to the 8 pages per minute Hewlett- Packaged claimed for it. AE
