- Chapter 2: Installation
- =======================
-
- The installation procedure needs Installer V43.3 or higher!
- --------------------------
- Installer V43.3 is included with the Turboprint disk. If you are using the
- "MCP" utility, you will have to copy the new Installer to your hard disk
- or deactivate MCP temporarily.

- Chapter 8: Hints for Printers
- =============================
-
- Canon BJ monochrome inkjet printers
- -----------------------------------
-
- The emulation must be set to "Canon BJ" mode at the printer (DIP switches,
- see your printer's manual).
- The international charset must be set to "Set 2" at the printer
- (DIP switch).
- In TurboPrint, choose the driver "Canon_BJ".
-
- Newer models (BJ-10ex, BJ-2xx, BJ-3xx) can also be used in EPSON LQ mode,
- which offers more fonts. To use EPSON LQ mode, the printer must be switched
- to "LQ" mode (DIP switches, see your printer's manual). Choose the
- "Epson_LQ,SQ" driver in TurboPrint.
-
- Canon BJC colour inkjet printers
- --------------------------------
-
- The emulation must be set to "LQ" mode at the printer (DIP switches,
- see your printer's manual).
-
- Canon BJC - newer models without DIP switches (BJC 210, 240, 4100, 4200)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
- These printers must be configured to the "LQ-Europe/Asia" mode.
- The following procedure must be carried out once:
-
- When switching on the printer, keep the POWER button pressed. Soon the
- printer will start "beeping". Wait until you have heard 8 beep sounds,
- then release the POWER button.
-
- To check your printer's configuration, switch off the printer. Then keep
- the POWER button pressed until you have heard 2 beep sounds. The printer
- will then print a status sheet.
-
- Canon BJC 240 and 4200 with photo cartridge
- -------------------------------------------
-
- Use the driver Canon_BJC240photo or Canon_BJC4200photo when printing with
- the photo cartridge.
- For best printouts use the "Canon HR-101" or a similiar inkjet paper.
- Unfortunately, we don't know any glossy papers that are suitable for
- printouts with the photo cartridge.
-
-
- Citizen Printiva600c
- --------------------
-
- When making colour printouts, please note the following:
-
- * Spool files
-
- The driver creates four spool file for the four colour components of a page.
- You can change the path of the spool files. Enter the path and filename
- in the text gadget "print to file" on the file card "printer".
- It is recommended to spool to a hard drive, as the spool files can become very
- large.
-
- Example: If you have entered "Name" = "Work:Prt",
- four spoolfiles named "Prt.0", "Prt.1", "Prt.2" and "Prt.3" will be created
- on the hard drive partition named "Work:".
-
- Epson Stylus Color
- ------------------
-
- The unprintable margin at the top of the paper can be set at the printer
- to 3mm (0.1") or 8.5mm (0.35") - see your printer's manual for details.
-
-
- Epson Stylus Color II
- ---------------------
-
- If you use plain paper, the black ink may bleed into the coloured inks.
- This effect depends on the kind of paper you use.
- To avoid bleeding, use an inkjet paper or choose the driver
- "Epson_StylusColorIIs". This driver generates black by mixing yellow,
- magenta and cyan inks.
-
-
- Epson Stylus Color IIs
- ----------------------
-
- For colour prints, choose the driver "Epson_StylusColorIIs".
- For b/w prints, choose the driver "Epson_Stylus820+IIs".
- The maximum resolution of the printer is 360x720dpi.
-
-
- HP-Deskjet - newer models (540C,600C,660C,850C)
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- The maximum resolution of these printers (600x300dpi resp. 600x600dpi)
- can be used only for black&white printouts.
-
- If you get b/w printouts instead of colour printouts when using
- applications like Final Writer or Wordworth, you will have
- to reduce the print resolution or "density" within the application.
-
-
- Head cleaning & cartridge alignment
- -----------------------------------
- With the new DeskJet printers, it is no longer possible to start
- the print head cleaning or cartridge alignment procedure
- at the printer.
- For this purpose we programmed the "DeskJet-Utility" you can find
- in the "Extra" drawer of Turboprint.
-
-
- HP-Deskjet 850C,870Cxi
- ----------------------
-
- At 300x300dpi a "colour resolution enhancement technique" is used,
- which varies the ink drop size and thus produces finer dithering.
-
- If you print on glossy inkjet papers or transparencies or if you get
- poor results on other inkjet papers, it is important to switch the
- paper type to "glossy" or "transparency". This means that
- black will be generated as a mixture of yellow, magenta and cyan.
-
-
- HP_Deskjet 660C,690C,694C
- -------------------------
-
- If you print on glossy inkjet papers or transparencies or if you get
- poor results on other inkjet papers, it is important to switch the
- paper type to "glossy" or "transparency". This means that
- black will be generated as a mixture of yellow, magenta and cyan.
-
-
- HP_Deskjet 600C
- ---------------
-
- If you use a "diffuse" dithering pattern, you should disable the switch
- "pure black". You will get more brilliant colours.
-
-
- HP Deskjet 690C,694C with photo cartridge
- -------------------------------------------
-
- Use the driver "HP_DeskJet690,694photo" when printing with the photo
- cartridge.
-
- For best printouts use the "HP Photo Paper" or a non-glossy paper, e.g.
- "HP Premium Inkjet Paper".
- Most other glossy papers will produce poor results.
-
-
-
- Lexmark 4076 - ExecJet IIc
- --------------------------
-
- Choose the "parallel" instead of the "turbo-par" port (filecard "printer")
- if printouts are slow.
- This is necessary because the printer's parallel interface doesn't use all
- control lines.
-
-
- Fargo Primera / Pro / FotoFUN
- -----------------------------
-
- *** Important ***
-
- The printer must receive data continuously. If printer pauses during
- the printout, a noticeable horizontal line will appear on the image.
- For this reason, you should not disturb your Amiga while the printer is active.
-
- * FotoFUN:
-
- The printer needs a very high parallel transfer rate that can't be achieved
- by Turboprint. Please redirect your printouts to a file and send the file
- to the parallel port using Fargo's "SendFFF" program. "SendFFF" is included
- in Fargo's Amiga driver disk.
-
- * Spool files
-
- The driver creates four spool file for the four colour components of a page.
- You can change the path of the spool files. Enter the path and filename
- in the text gadget "print to file" on the file card "printer".
- It is recommended to spool to a hard drive, as the spool files can become very
- large.
-
- Example: If you have entered "Name" = "Work:Prt",
- four spoolfiles named "Prt.0", "Prt.1", "Prt.2" and "Prt.3" will be created
- on the hard drive partition named "Work:".
-
- * Printing of several pictures on one page
-
- Normally one page will be used per picture.
- Using the GraphicsPublisher, however, you can print several pictures on
- one page.
-
- * Heat
-
- The heat produced by the print head can be changed by the "quality"
- gadget in Turboprefs.
- You might need to increase this setting if you print on plain paper
- (wax transfer mode).
- For the photorealistic mode we recommend heat setting 4 (medium).
-
- * Ribbon type
-
- There are 5 different ribbon types for the primera, which can be set
- using the "medium" switch in TurboPrefs (filecard "Config").
-
- Monochrome: wax transfer black
- 3-Colour: wax transfer with yellow, magenta and cyan
- 4-Colour: -"- plus black
- Photo B/W: b&w sublimation for photorealistic printouts
- Photo Colour: colour sublimation for photorealistic printouts
-
- We recommed to choose "3-Colour" setting even for 4-Colour ribbon.
- This produces more brilliant colours.
-
- * 600-DPI
-
- We do not recommend the 600dpi mode, as it is very slow and produces
- printouts that are almost identical to the 300dpi mode.
-
-

-
- Chapter 9: Hints for applications
- =================================
-
- Final Writer / Wordworth
- ------------------------
-
- The print resolution is chosen in FinalWriter/WW, NOT in TurboPrefs.
-
- Final Writer/WW with HP Deskjet
- -------------------------------
-
- If you get b/w printouts instead of colour printouts on a DeskJet 540/660/850
- you will have to reduce the print resolution (see "Hints for printers").
-
- We recommend to set the top text margin to zero (TurboPrefs, file card "Text").
- This way you will get the correct top margin.
-
- Final Writer/WW with Epson Stylus Color / Pro
- ---------------------------------------------
-
- We recommend a maximum resolution of 360dpi. Otherwise you will get very
- slow and usually oversaturated printouts.
-
- If you print with 720dpi, you should change the dithering from "diffuse"
- to "ordered" to speed up printing.
