    A (Very Brief) History Of Printing

    The Chinese

    By the end of the

    2nd century A.D.,

    the Chinese had

    the threerequirements for

    printing:

    paper

    ink relief surfaces.

    The Chinese (cont.)

    By the 8th century, wooden blocks were

    used for the reliefs. The oldest known

    printed works date from this time

    764-770 - Buddhist incantations printed inJapan

    868 - The first known book was made in

    China, The Diamond Sutra.

    The Chinese (cont.)

    Movable type was invented in China in

    the 11th century, but this invention did

    not catch on.

    In the early 14th century, a Chinese

    magistrate had a set of 60,000 Chinese

    characters carved on wooden blocks for

    the printing of a treatise on the history

    of technology.

    The Arabs Bring Paper To The West

    8th century - The knowledge of how to

    make paper came through the caravan

    routes of Central Asia.

    12th century - Italians begin trading withthe Arabs to bring paper to Europe.

    13th & 14th centuries - Europeans

    create papermaking centers in Italy,

    France, and Germany.

    Europe Learned About Paper, But

    Not PrintingDespite trade and the travels of people

    like Marco Polo, Europeans never

    learned the art of xylography(printing from wood carving) from

    the Chinese. The ability to print in

    this way was spontaneously learned

    by the Europeans no earlier than thelast quarter of the 14th century.

    The Europeans Start To Print

    The first printed itemswere relief imagespressed onto paper,typically religious in

    nature. Text was added to the

    images, and so thefirst real books

    appeared in Europe inthe first half of the15th century.

    Metallographic Printing

    1430-1450 - After 12centuries, Europeansfinally go beyond theChinese by making

    durable componentsfor Metallographicprinting:

    Johannes Gutenberg

    About 1450,

    Johannes

    associated theidea of using die,

    matrix, and lead

    with the invention

    of the printingpress.

    The Screw Press

    The screw press

    was used for the

    next 350 years

    with technological

    improvements

    allowing such a

    press to print up

    to 250 copies anhour.

    Technology Improves Printing

    19th CenturyThe 19th century saw the introductionof:

    stereotypy (stereotyped plates allowseveral presses to print the same text atthe same time)

    steam power

    cylinder presses

    roll-fed rotary presses

    typecasting machines such as theLinotype and Monotype.

    At Last - Electronic Printing!

    1923 - Electrostatic printing was first

    demonstrated when the ink of a

    cylindrical typeform was attracted to

    paper by means of an electronic charge.

    1948 - two Americans conceived the

    idea of using a dry powder rather than

    ink, and the first modern office copiers

    were born.

    How A Xerox 9700 Prints

    1.The image is resolvedinto a bit map.

    2.Each 'scan line' isdispatched to theengine.

    3.A photoelectric drumwhich is on a circularbelt is charged with ahigh voltage.

    4. A laser is firedthrough a

    piece of glass at arotating, mirroredpolygon.

    5.The bits in the scanline cause the pieceof glass throughwhich the laser ispassing to vibrate.

    6.The laser beam hits

    the drum for eachoff pixel, anddischarges that spoton the drum.

    How A Xerox 9700 Prints (cont.)7.Toner is passed

    over the drum, andthe toner sticks tothe charged areas.

    8.Paper is passedover the drum, andthe toner now sticksto the paper.

    9.The paper, now with

    toner applied,passes

    through a fuser,which is a set of veryhot rollers (400F)which fuse the

    toner to the paper.10. The paper is post-

    processed asneeded and placed

    into an output bin.

    Type

    Type - from theGreek word typtein

    - to beat or strike.

    Even today, the

    phrase in Italian for

    to type is battere

    a macchina,

    literally, to beat

    with the machine.

    Point

    996 points are equivalent

    to 35 centimeters, or

    one point is equal to

    .01383 inches. Thismeans about 72.3 points

    to the inch. We in

    electronic printing use

    72 points per inch

    Pica

    From the MedievalLatin word for

    directory, probably

    referring to the usual

    size of the type used

    to print a directory,

    about 1/6th of an

    inch; hence, 12

    points make up a

    pica, and 6 picasmake up an inch.

    A letter-sizedsheet of

    paper in the U.S. is 66

    picas long.

    x-height

    The height of thelowercase x. Used

    in typography as

    the standard height

    of the body for allthe characters in

    the font, minus

    their ascenders

    and descenders.

    em

    Originally, a unit ofmeasure equal to the

    width of the capital M,

    the widest character in

    a font. Now the emspace is equal to the

    height of the font,

    hence the em space of

    a 10 point font is 10

    points (wide).

    The default word

    space for this font is1/3 an em space.

    Pitch

    Probably from

    per inch.

    Proportional

    Referring to a font inwhich each

    character has a

    width appropriate

    to the size of thecharacter. E.g., in a

    proportional font

    (like this one), I is

    much narrowerthan W.

    Baseline

    Baseline - An

    imaginary line

    upon which the

    body of the

    character sits. All

    characters on a

    line of text share

    the same baseline,

    even characters indifferent fonts.

    T

    Ascender And Descender

    Ascender - strokes

    which rise above

    the x-height (or

    body of the

    character). Descender -

    strokes which go

    below the baseline

    (or the body of thecharacter).

    Font Height And Baseline

    Font height - the sum

    of the length of the

    longest descender,

    longest ascender, and

    x-height.

    Line skip - Usually, the

    distance from baseline

    to baseline. Note, this

    value is often largerthan the font height.

    Upper Case And Lower Case

    The box on the righthand side contained

    would be at the top -

    away from the printer

    Mind Your Ps And Qs

    ps and qs - the phrase mindyour

    ps andqs comes from the days of

    metal type. On metal type, the image

    of the character is backwards fromthe printed image. Since a p and a

    q are mirror images of each other, it

    is easy to confuse them, hence the

    warning.

    Metacode / DJDEs

    Printer control commands may be

    interspersed with print data;

    sometimes the printer control

    commands appear within the same

    record as the print data.

    The Metacode printer may switch

    between EBCDIC and ASCII data

    modes between print jobs, or withinjobs as required.

    Other Flavors of Metacode

    Conditioned Line Data: DJDE line data with DJDE records to change fonts,

    and call forms and images

    The bulk of all Xerox printing

    Mixed Mode

    Metacode and line data in the same print file,

    sometimes in alternating records

    Usually generated by 3rd-party products page interleaved files slow the printer down

    What Do We Do With XES?

    Since XES printers have been end-of-lifedby Xerox, users will have to:

    Convert applications generating XES to PCL or

    PostScript (usually), or

    Acquire 3rd party transforms such as XenosXES2PCL or XES2PS, or

    Find someone willing to support these obsolete

    printers
