ELECTRONIC TYPESETTING METHODS

该项目于1981财政年度开始，涉及收集和编码文本， 电子排版用的磁带。 消除密钥更新， 排字机，因此，厨房样生产阶段，已削减 排版成本是80%。 今年，我们开始研究使用IBM-PC作为输入设备， 计算机可处理的文件，与IBM的自动合成兼容 系统 未来的计划包括调查负担得起的桌面出版系统 适合政府印刷环境，使我们能够 将IBM-PC上处理的文本转换为专业质量的排版 页面.

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.
