Setting Up the Printer
Chapter 2
Page Printers and Processing
With page printers, the computer and the printer share the processing load.
The computer translates information from the application into the
appropriate page description language and sends this to the printer. The
printer processes this code into specific printing instructions on where to
put each dot on the page. This means that the printer itself must have a
certain amount of processing power and memory to handle the instructions
it receives from the computer.

Because processing takes place on both the computer and the printer, the
speed of laser printing depends on the processor speed and RAM available
on both the computer and the printer.
