EPFix
Copyright 1986 by Limited Reality, Inc.
Author: James Cooper Jr.
As most of us with Epson (or compatible) printers know, there are BUGS in
the printer driver! The same bugs exist in the JX-80 driver, showing the
constant nature of some errors.
This file (EPFix) will correct those bugs, in either driver, painlessly and
quickly.
Specifically, there are two bugs:
1) The vertical dots-per-inch value was set to 82, not the correct 72.
2) The vertical line spacing during graphics output was set to 7/72",
instead of 8/72", giving a nasty looking overlap.
The patches are listed in the source, but for those who just want their
drivers to WORK, the operating instructions are simple:
1) To fix the regular epson driver, type 'EPFix' and press return.
2) To fix the JX-80 driver, type 'EPFix j' and press return.
EPFix was written in assembler, which explains the small size and the speed
of operation.
