ELECTRONIC TYPESETTING METHODS

六年来，我们一直在探索各种方法来 为电子排版收集文本并对其进行编码 政府印务局。消除了密钥更新和密钥更新 排字工人的手稿和厨房打样阶段 生产使我们的排版成本降低了80%。 我们继续改进我们现有的编码格式，通过 简化了几个代码。我们还诊断出其中一个错误 GPO计划，并与GPO合作解决问题。 我们代表NIH印刷部与GPO会面，以 调查GPO和GPO之间的电信概念 NIH，类似于FDA和国会现在使用的。这 事实证明，这只是一种遥远的可能性，缺乏适当的 美国国立卫生研究院的计算机资源。 我们第一次使用软盘测试了我们的排版方法 磁盘而不是磁带。尽管这让一些事情复杂化了 在内部生产方面，软盘有望获得更好的回报 时间和提供更好的控制。1987财年DCRT年度 《报告》是第一份用这种方法制作的出版物。

For six years, we have been exploring various methods for collecting andencoding text for electronic typesetting by the Government Printing Office. Eliminating both the rekeying of manuscripts by typesetters and the galley proof stage of production has cut our typesetting costs 80 percent. We continued to improve upon our existing coding formats, by simplifying several codes. We also diagnosed an error in one of the GPO programs, and worked with GPO to solve the problem. We met with GPO on behalf of the NIH Printing Branch to investigate the notion of a telecommunications between GPO and NIH, similar t what is now used by FDA and the Congress. This proved to be only a distant possibility, lacking appropriate computer resources at NIH. For the first time, we tested our typesetting methods using floppy disks rather than magnetic tape. Although it complicates some aspects of internal production, floppies promise better return time and offer better control. The FY1987 DCRT ANNUAL REPORT is the first publication produced with this method.
