- 2COL is a compressed print utility that will print 4 (or even 8 pages) on one
- side of a sheet of paper in 2 column format. It is intended for dot matrix and
- deskjet printers. Make sure your internal printer switches are set for
- Epson/Standard mode, not IBM mode. If your printer does not have an Epson mode,
- you will probably need to use 17 char/inch (-W68). If you have a front panel
- pitch selector on your printer, it must be set to Program mode. If you are not
- sure about the front panel settings turn your printer off and then on
- immediately before running 2COL. This should reset the printer to program mode.
-
- You might want to consult PRINTERS.TXT to determine the settings for your
- printer model before attempting any printing with 2COL.
