- These are shareware printer drivers for the 24 pin Panasonic KX-P1124
- printer, when used with DEGAS, DEGAS ELITE and as desktop print driver
- replacements. They were created using Tom Hudson's printer driver
- construction set. These drivers utilize the 1124's Epson LQ2500
- emulation mode, so they should work for the 2500 as well. Heck, they
- work with my HP DeskJet's FX-80 emulator cartridge too! Talk about
- surprises.
-
- Included are 3 drivers, each for a different resolution. The
- resolutions are 120, 240 and 360 dpi. Of course, printing speed is
- inversely proportional to resolution. i.e. - the high res driver is
- damn slow! And frankly for screen dumps and DEGAS printing of bit
- maps, its not worth it for slightly darker printing. But... in the
- interests of personal choice, its there if you need it! (it might be
- useful for diagrams and text-filled pictures)
-
- All drivers support both vertical and horizontal printing. They are
- optimized to fit the page. (and centered too!) The aspect ratio is
- maintained as much as possible, so that circles print as circles.
- (what an idea huh?) Of course, so as to maintain the vertical mode's
- aspect ratio, the drivers only fill the page across, not down. Also,
- the vertical printing is not centered vertically, so that you can
- print more than one picture per page. Let me know if you want
- vertical centering. If there's enough call for it, I'll add new
- drivers for it.
-
- To use the drivers, just un-arc with ARC. Place the drivers in the
- PRINTER folder of your DEGAS disk. To replace your screen dump
- routine in your system with one of these drivers, download either
- INSTALL.ARC or PRTINS.ARC. PRTINS.ARC will install one of the drivers
- at boot time. INSTALL.ARC is a desk accessory that will let you
- change your driver and select vertical or horizontal printing. I use
- both! So I've got the driver I need automatically, and I can change
- modes when I need to.
-
- These drivers are shareware, not freeware. They are the copyright of
- Missing Pieces, s/w & consulting. More drivers will be uploaded as I
- get a hold of the devices. As an incentive, those who register will
- recieve a list of the newly available drivers and updates to existing
- drivers. Free updated drivers will be sent to all registered users
- that request them, via EasyPlex or mail if they send a blank diskette
- with their request.
