This developer note describes the features and capabilities of the printer, and it is intended for use by software and hardware developers. To use this note, you need to understand the Adobe PostScript Level 2 programming language and printer terminology commonly referred to in PostScript programming documentation. You should also be familiar with the computer for which you intend to develop software. You do not need to use this note if you are simply running packaged programs for your Apple computer. However, the note is useful if you are writing or modifying a program that is used with the Personal LaserWriter 320 printer. Your owner’s guide provides instructions for connecting the printer to your computer, inserting paper, and performing other routine operating tasks. This note does not provide that type of information. This preface describes the contents of the note, explains visual cues and conventions used in the note, and lists other books to which you can refer.

  • Thoughts on Flash
    Apple has a long relationship with Adobe. In fact, we met Adobe’s founders when they were in their proverbial garage. Apple was their first big customer, adopting their Postscript language for our new Laserwriter printer. Apple invested in Adobe and owned around 20% of the company for many years. The two companies worked closely together to pioneer desktop publishing and there were many good times. Since that golden era, the companies have grown apart. Apple went through its near death experience, and Adobe was drawn to the corporate market with their Acrobat products. Today the two companies still work together to serve their joint creative customers – Mac users buy around half of Adobe’s Creative Suite products – but beyond that there are few joint interests. I wanted to jot down some of our thoughts on Adobe’s Flash products so that customers and critics may better understand why we do not allow Flash on iPhones, iPods and iPads. Adobe has characterized our decision as being primarily business driven – they say we want to protect our App Store – but in reality it is based on technology issues. Adobe claims that we are a closed system, and that Flash is open, but in fact the opposite is true. Let me explain. First, there’s “Open”. Adobe’s Flash products are 100% proprietary. They are only available from Adobe, and Adobe has sole authority as to their future enhancement, pricing, etc. While Adobe’s Flash products are widely available, this does not mean they are open, since they are controlled entirely by Adobe and available only from Adobe.

  • The Networker's Guide to Appletalk, IPX, and Netbios
    03 9777 CH03 5/21/01 3:42 PM Page 85 3 The Networker’s Guide to AppleTalk, IPX, and NetBIOS UNTIL THE EARLY 1990S,TCP/IP WAS REALLY ONLY PREVALENT in large govern- ment and research facilities where UNIX and other supercomputing operating systems used it as a common network communications protocol.When PCs came into the picture, they were not networked. Rather, they were used either as front-ends to big micro or mainframe systems (IBM was a big fan of this approach) or as standalone sys- tems. In the early 1980s, as PCs grew in number and in performance, three strategies emerged to provide PCs with networking services:AppleTalk, Novell NetWare, and IBM’s NetBIOS. The goal of this chapter is to give you an understanding of the various protocols that make up the protocol suites and the roles they perform. It is not intended to explain how to design, set up, and manage a network. Chapter 7,“Introduction to Cisco Routers,” and Chapter 10,“Configuring IP Routing Protocols on Cisco Routers,” discuss configuration issues for these protocols. Because NetBIOS is a ses- sion layer protocol rather than a protocol suite, it will be described in the context of its operational behaviors at the end of this chapter. 03 9777 CH03 5/21/01 3:42 PM Page 86 86 Chapter 3 The Networker’s Guide to AppleTalk, IPX, and NetBIOS AppleTalk AppleTalk was an outgrowth of the Apple Macintosh computing platform. First intro- duced in 1984 and updated in 1989, it was designed to provide the Macintosh with a cohesive distributed client/server networking environment.AppleTalk,
