And QMS Inc, Mobile, Alabama is going after the same market with its 4ppm QMS-PS 410 PostScript printer, which has a rather more powerful 16MHz 68020 processor and an AppleTalk port: it comes with 45 Adobe fonts and 2Mb at $2,800, and the key feature is what the company calls Emulation Sensing Processor technology for which a patent is pending, which uses a form of artificial intelligence called statistical heuristics to switch automatically between the three most commonly used printer languages, PostScript, Page Control Language and Graphics Language, and simultaneous use of three interfaces for hosts serial, parallel and AppleTalk.
