ELECTRONIC TYPESETTING METHODS

该项目始于2011财年，涉及收集文本并对其进行编码 GPO排版用的磁带。消除了密钥更新 照排机，从而在打样阶段的生产中，已经切好了 排版要花80%的钱。 今年，我们开始研究使用IBM-PC作为输入设备来创建 与GPO的自动排版兼容的计算机可处理文件 系统。 未来的计划包括调查负担得起的桌面出版系统 适用于政府印刷环境，使我们能够 将IBM-PC上处理的文本转换为专业质量的排版 佩奇。

This project, begun in FY81, involves collecting and encoding text on magnetic tape for typesetting by GPO. Eliminating rekeying by a typesetter, and thus the galley proof stage of production, has cut typesetting costs 80 percent. This year, we began research using the IBM-PC as an input device to create computer processable files compatible with GPO's Automated Composition System. Future plans include investigation of affordable desktop publishing systems suitable for a government printing environment that would enable us to transform text processed on the IBM-PC into professional-quality typeset pages.
