This is the second edition of "The Publishers Guide to Interfacing Wordprocessors and Phototypesetters". Typesetters, professional publishers and corporate print buyers are all starting to use desktop publishing systems, but finding their laser printer output has inadequate quality. This book tells the user how to link up a PC to a photosetter. With the DTP user in mind, a new section on desktop publishing has been added, and a completely new appendix gives a full coding system which enables the PC user to input English-language codes in his wordprocessing which can subsequently be translated into typesetting commands. The author is a professional typesetter who has specialized in helping publishers and authors with wordprocessors to get their files typeset. This book should be of interest to typesetters, publishers, authors.
