What is a Compressed Postscript (.psz) File?

A compressed postscript file represents a single document compressed to a reduced file size in order to accomodate faster file transfers over the Internet. The data compression achieved is approximately a 4:1 ratio. This means that a 1MB postscript file compresses to 250KB and transfer time is about one-fourth that of the uncompressed files. Users receiving the compressed document over the Internet will need to uncompress the file before printing. For MS Windows platforms, a print spooler is provided by Texas Instruments. Unix, Macintosh, and other users can obtain free uncompression utilities from the Info-ZIP website. NOTE: Info-ZIP software is not supported by Texas Instruments Incorporated.
