POSTSCRIPT

Notice the use of connectors in this text:

" PostScript is a computer language that describes how to print text and objects to different devices. It is referred to as (DEFINITION) a ‘page description language’ because (CAUSE) it defines the page to be printed rather than giving a set of instructions on what to print.
PostScript can scale any font or graphic to any size and is used on many laser printers and imagesetters. It is ‘device-independent’, that is (EXPLANATION), it is a language that allows computers from many different manufacturers to communicate with dirrerent output devices such as (EXAMPLE) printers, imagesetters, etc.- and enables computers to adjust the quality of the output to the highest resolution possible.

The creation of the PostScript language has meant an important change in the world of computers –in printing in particular."
