Abstract
A new generation of typesetting devices has gained wide acceptance in the graphic arts industry. These machines not only lend themselves to operation by a computer, they demand it; their speed and flexibility can be exploited in no other way. One such machine is the VideoComp®; a programming system that supports it is called PAGE-1. This paper is a tutorial introduction to the PAGE-1 language through which the user specifies his typographic format requirements to the system. The concluding section of the paper presents an application of the language to a sample typesetting problem.
