Recently I obtained a document from DECs direct
mailing, presenting their Printserver 20.
Since we were looking for a more powerful postscript
printer, it arrived just in time.
The printer had abilities we were looking for such
as double side printing, and printing on larger sheets.
But most important, the presented print quality
was excellent!

Now there is something weird with this print quality.
The document states that it is 'WYSIWYG': it is
actual printer output, on normal paper.
Regarding its quality, this should mean that the printer
has a resolution of -I guess- at least 600 dpi.
However the document claims somewhere else a 
resolution of 300dpi: common for laserprinters,
but definitely not of this document.

So either this technical specification is wrong,
or they try to fool me by pretending it is actual
printer output when this is not the case.
THIS WOULD BE VERY BAD, BE WARNED.

Can someone solve this dilemma?
