postscript

Postscript is a computer language used to create documents or images that can be seen on a computer or printed out. It is like a type of code that is used to tell the computer what to do when you tell it to print. When you print something out, the computer uses the postscript language to turn the words, numbers and images that you have created into something that the printer can understand and create a printed copy. Think of it like a translator - when you tell the computer to print something out, it reads the postscript code that you have written and then it turns it into something a printer can understand.
