Readme - This textfile
26.10.90 Version 35 Rev 1
10.12.90 Version 35 Rev 1.5
- Elite Bug (Setting Elite in Preferences) removed.
This bug causes a "MW" while initialising the
printer, also Autoline was setting on, which
causes a LF with every CR (so you got to much
lines in your printing...)
- known bug left: transfer.a is not
set right for 360YPI
- reverse P in char table fixed
10.12.90 Version 35 Rev 2.0a
- Bug in transfer.a removed
new transfer.c now works with 360YDPI
10.12.90 Version 35 Rev 2.0b
- transfer.c translated to assembler, so graphicdumps
should be faster...
07.01.91 Version 35 Rev 3
- small speed improvements
Description:
------------
This driver is intended for all those Canon compatible inkjet
printers (BJ-130...) out there. Because of improved routines this
driver is very fast compared to the commodore driver. Also this
driver supports more graphic and text modes (see below for
additional features).
For the latest version call the above given FIDO/UUCP address or
send me a selfaddressed letter and $15 (this money is only
intended as donation for paying my postage and printer handbooks).
Further donations won't be refused ;-)
Improved EpsonLQ, Oki 39x and Star24 (... ?) drivers are also
available (see note below)!!!!!
Canon Capsule 48/XL (BJ-130 and compatible 48 inkjet printers)
--------------------------------------------------------------
1. 48-inkjet printer b&w/greyscale printer (text and graphics).
2. Density XDPI YDPI XYDPI Comments
1 180 180 16200
2 180 180 21600
3 180 180 32400

3. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of
13.6 inches (for wide carriage printers).
4. A papertype of 'SINGLE' ejects the sheet with a formfeed after every
dump. Formfeed after a graphic dump is send according to the
SPECIAL_NOFORMFEED flag.
Improvements added (compared to epsonx)
---------------------------------------
1. Support of more graphic resolutions (360 DPI) !
2. The driver has been speeded up. Now it's much faster than
a standard WB driver.
3. Extra driver with support for 68020/30 should be included with
this package.
4. Escape sequence for shadow print, fonts... added.
5. This driver supports alphabetic accents and other special
characters as far as possible. Please note
that this driver has some limitations: some alphabetic Accents are
not supported.
6. There is now support for selecting different typefaces. Due
to the extended character translation table, the character set
selection commands (aFNT0 - aFNT10) are no longer really needed.
The following fonts are yet supported (some only with additional
cartridges):
0 - Internal ROM CG
1 - RAM CG
2 - External ROM CG 1 (font cartridge 1)
3 - External ROM CG 2 (font cartridge 2)
4 - Character set 2
5 - Character set 1
6 - not supported
7 - not supported
8 - not supported
9 - not supported
10 - not supported
Hints & Bug Report & Wishes
---------------------------
1. If possible don't use the command ESC-'A'. If you have to,
don't forget to reset the printer to 1/6inch linefeed! There is
no extra 1/6inch linefeed command, so the driver can't do this for
you!
2. Set DIP switch 2-6 ON. Character Set 2 should be default!
3. The printer does no perforation skip with graphic dumps!
So watch out!
4. Set DIP switch 1-3 (CR only) and 1-5 OFF!!!!!!!
5. In case of a real bug make sure you have the latest release
and if so, drop me a note and it will be fixed with the next
release.
6. In case of stripes and empty lines check your printer
margins (DIP switches, preferences setting, settings within
the program you use)!
Notes
-----
After my first release of an EpsonLQ compatible printer driver I got
many letters from people asking for an unsupported printer driver.
Please:
1. include some money if you wan't to get answered. Postage takes a
major part of my income (as student I have no real income :-( )
2. in case you found a bug: please give me a full description. In
most cases I can't verify your statements!
3. if you wan't some improvements or you have wishes: drop me a note,
4. if you don't have a driver for your printer or your driver
doesn't fully support your printer: drop me a note with a
description of your printer and maybe I'll do this for you...
(in case you have some bucks to much: don't wait for an answer
and send me a copy of your manual. But remember: there is no
guarantee I'll do the job!)
There will be no single typestroke without a complete copy of
the printer manual!!
