[comp.sys.mac.hardware] TI MicroLaser 35

Hi. What comes bundled with the TI Microlaser 35. Further, if
I had a screen font only (say Memphis), and then wanted to
print text in this font, would the Memphis letters come out
sort of bitmap smoothed on the TI or would they be really
jagged? In other words, does the TO Microlaser 35 have some
sort of smoothing routine (like the Apple Laserwrite IINTX
has)? Finally, is there a chance that the non-postscript
screen Memphis text might not come out at all on the TI? Thanx.

Isn't the smoothing a function of the printer driver and not the
printer?  If so, it should work with any PostScript printer.
