Graphical device interface (GDI)

Graphical device interface (GDI)

The native graphical language of Windows. A GDI-compliant printer will print exactly what is displayed on a Windows screen without having to transpose it into a printer language. All the processing happens on the PC. This helps reduce the price of the printer, since image processing circuitry isn't needed.
