\centerline{\bf More Laser News}
\medskip\noindent
As the \PS\ snowball gathers momentum,
more and more laser printers are released which
support this standard. The more
recently introduced ones tend to have other
facilities too. 
{\sc qms} laser printers have been used as \TeX\
output devices for many years now. Pragma supply {\sc qms}
laser printers, and have two \PS\ offerings:
\smallskip\noindent
{\sc qms ps \oldstyle 810} --- the first \PS\ laser printer based
on the compact Canon {\sc sx} engine. It comes with 
1\,Mbyte
of {\sc rom} and
2\,Mbye of {\sc ram}, expandable to 3\,Mbyte. 
The 35 standard \PS\ fonts are resident.
Resolution is the usual 300\,dpi. Besides supporting
\PS\ there are resident emulations for the HP LaserJet+
and for the {\sc hpgl} plotter language. It has a 
recommended duty cycle of 5000 prints per month.
\smallskip\noindent
{\sc qms lg \oldstyle1510} ---  designed for the high-volume,
complex vector and bit-mapped graphics environment.
It is based on the 300\,dpi Ricoh 4150 print
engine. The printer can process two fully bit-mapped
pages concurrently, thanks to 8\,Mbyte of
{\sc ram}. This together with  an operating speed of 16\,MHz allows
a claimed speed of 15 pages per minute. The duty
cycle is suitably high at 15,000 pages per month.
It has fewer resident fonts --- only 16 --- but
other resident and downloadable fonts are available.
Besides \PS, it will support Tektronix 4010/4014
emulation,
and {\sc qms'} proprietary pdl, {\sc quic}.
