Figure 2. IPDS Letter Preparation
An IPDS-driven printer offers flexibility. For example, you can highlight a list of
items by printing the list in a different type style from the rest of the text; or you
can print your letterhead in one font and your text in another font.
You can electronically store your letterhead so it is always printed in the same
type style. This printing concept is discussed in “Using Overlays” on page 4.
You can store your printed signature block so it is printed in the type style used
in the rest of the letter or memo. That way the signature block's type style
matches the letter in which it appears, no matter how many different fonts you
use for different kinds of letters. This printing concept is discussed in “Using
Page Segments” on page 5.
You can include bar charts or line graphs in your letter. Such graphic material
can be generated through either the Image function or the Graphics function.
See “Using Images and Graphics” on page 6.
