I am considering purchase of one of these printers. Looking at the spec.
sheet, I noticed the following:

"Type Styles and Sizes
Most characters can be printed in sizes from 2-point to 127-point.
                                             ^           ^
...... [other stuff deleted]."

The printer claims to be a Postscript printer, so why is there this
upper limit on point size? 

The local distributors claim the specs. are wrong.
