[net.micro.pc] Xerox 4045 Laser info?

ogasawar@noscvax.UUCP (Todd H. Ogasawara) (10/16/85)

I sat through a lengthy discussion of the Xerox 4045 Laser printer by
three Xerox reps.  However, I did not actually see the printer in
operation.  The claim is that the printer can be programmed to interpret
various sequences of control codes to control the printer.  I guess
this means that rather than patching something like WordPerfect or
WordStar, it may be possible to have the Xerox 4045 interpret
something like HP LaserJet control codes for italics, bold, etc.

Can anyone confirm this?  If you have any postive nor negative comments,
I would be interested in hearing them.  The 4045 looks like a good
laser printer on paper (no pun intended) but I'd like info from the front lines
where people really put it through the paces.  Thanks..todd
