Xerox 2700 II mode is NOT the same as Interpress.

As of October 1985, the only Xerox printers that supported Interpress
were the 8044, 5700, 9700, and 3700.

I assume the list has gotten much longer since then.

You should also check into which Subset of Interpress each printer
actually supports.  

You may also want to check out font availability.  Even though
Interpress allows you to scale a font to any size, the printer may
implement this with a table lookup to a set of non-scaleable fonts.  If
this is the case you must obtain (buy) font bitmaps for each size you
ever expect to use.

Xerox publishes an Interpress newsletter called "Courier".  The return
adddress for "Courier" is:

	XEROX Corporation
	Xerox Systems Institute
	2300 Geng Road
	Palo Alto, CA  94303

I suspect the people at this address have heard of Interpress.


Discalimer:  All of my information is out of date and unreliable.
You should contact XEROX for the latest and correct information.
