@SubHeading(When to Use It)
The @b(Laserwriter) is a high quality but slow and fragile printer
available for Athena users for a few specific purposes. 
@b[@ux(Please follow these guidelines. If they are not followed, you
will be held liable for up to 10 cents per page.)]

@begin(itemize, spread 0.5)

@b(If it can be done on the 9700, don't print it on the laserwriter.)
(See the handout "Using the 9700 printer from Athena" if you need to
know more about the 9700). In particular, some font sizes and the
mathematics library will not work on the 9700 (although greek will
work) and are basically the only reasons you should be using the
Laserwriter.

@b(Only) use it to print out files formatted by Scribe for the postscript
device (see below). @b(Never) print out straight text (or .lpt) files.

Print only @b(one) copy

@b(Print only your final copy) - i.e., after you have tested it on an
ln01 and/or the 9700 printer.

@b(If your file is more than 10 pages long), please call the SIPB office 
(x3-7788) before printing out your file.  If your file is more than 30
pages, we @b(can not) print it out except under @b(very) special cases.
Come talk to us and we will see what we can do.

If the 9700 printer is down and you @u(absolutely) need to have your output
immediately, you may use the laserwriter.

@end(itemize)


@SubHeading(How To Use It)

You must first format your file with Scribe, using the command:
@ProgramExample(scribe filename.mss -device postscript)
This command will put its output in the file "filename.PS".

If you are on a @u(timesharing machine) use
@ProgramExample(/usr/unsupported/sipb/bin/print_lw filename.PS)
to print it out.

@begin(transparent, size 12)
@b(If you are using a Workstation read all of the following:)
@end(transparent)
On a @u(MicroVAX), type the command @b(up vssipb).  
On a @u(IBM RT/PC), type the command @t[@b(up rtsipb)], as described
in @t[@b(Essential Workstation)].  Do an @t[@b(ls /usr/sipb)] if you get the
message @t[@b(/usr/sipb not found)] run
@t[@b(/usr/unsupported/sipb/bin/fix-sipb)].  After you have done this, or
if you you did not get the error message, you can use
@t[@b(/usr/sipb/bin/print_lw)].  If you get another error message @u(write
it down) and call the SIPB office; we'll be glad to help.

@SubHeading(Picking Up Your Output)

The SIPB office (11-205, x3-7788) is open most of the day and night, but you
may want to call before coming over. Output may be ready immediately, 
or it may take several hours, depending on how long the queue is. 
You can check to see if your file has been printed using the command:
(mainframes) @ProgramExample(/usr/unsupported/sipb/bin/check_lw)
(workstations) @ProgramExample(/usr/sipb/bin/check_lw)


@SubHeading(Special Scribe Notes)

There are many fontfamilies available on the laserwriter. These
are @b(TimesRoman, Helvetica, NewCenturySchoolbook,
HelveticaNarrow, AvantGardeBook, Bookman, Palatino, Courier) and
@b(Symbol). Unlike Scribe on the 9700, you specify the fontfamily and
the size separately.
@ProgramExample[@@Style(FontFamily "TimesRoman", Size 10)]
Will give you the equivalent of "TimesRoman10" on the 9700. 

@SubHeading(Limitations)

This software is supported by SIPB, not by Project Athena.  If there
are problems with formatting your file or getting output, the SIPB
will make an effort to solve them, but remember that we are a
volunteer organization with limited manpower. (Of course, if you want
to help out, stop by sometime and see what we do...)
