Jlaser Plus memory expansion board and printer controller
Article Abstract:
Laser printers that do not include a full megabyte of memory, and therefore can not print full page graphics at 300 dps, can be enhanced with the Jlaser Plus from Tall Tree Systems. The Jlaser Plus has a JRAM-3 memory expansion board giving a PC up to 2Mbytes more RAM; there is also a 'piggyback' board that acts as a printer controller. The product works with printers that are based on the Canon LBP-CX engine including the following: Hewlett-Packard's LaserJet and LaserJet Plus, not including the Series II; Canon's A-1 and A-2; Cordata's LP-300; and Apple's Laserwriter, Laserwriter Plus, and QMS series. The product can increase printing speed because its connection, through a video interface, transmits data faster than a serial or a parallel port can, and because the printer does not wait for its own controller to build an image. Scanning speed also benefits from the faster interface, as well as from the increased RAM.

Alternatives for a healthier planet: how to be an environmentally correct publisher
Article Abstract:
Environmentally sound production and printing procedures require few changes in the way publishers work. Several actions can be performed daily: use recycled paper, buy recycled paper from mills that recycle their own waste products, reduce the amount of paper used, use both sides of each sheet of paper, recycle laser printer toner cartridges, purchase from mail-order companies that use recycled packing material, do business with a commercial printer that handles hazardous chemicals safely, keep the laser printer in a well-ventilated area to protect yourself from ozone, laser light, electric charges and plastic toner powder; refrain from using spray glue. Save this article and show it to coworkers so they too may be environmentally conscious.

Uncommon stocks: high-yield alternatives for the laser printer paper tray
Article Abstract:
Desktop publishers can take advantage of their laser printers, printing on a range of materials including transparencies and textured papers. Most papers that are made for personal copiers will also work on laser printers; moreover, some companies are now producing papers that are specifically designed for laser printers. Plastic sheets can be used for various applications, such as overhead transparencies, report covers, or even see-through business cards; and laser printers can also print on odd-sized sheets. Using a laser printer in a variety of ways, as well as in new or experimental ways, can render the device more cost effective.
