typeset appearance on the Epson LQ printers.

Whitney, Kenneth D.
$?
prints text files at 17 characters per inch and 12 lines per inch on IBM and

Cox, Doug
$0
reformats and prints a file in proportional spacing on an Epson LQ printer.
Prnchr 1.3
WyNiWyG Group
$5
lets you redefine fonts on an Epson 9 or 24-pin printer. After you edit the

printer. This is very easy and powerful system for designing your own fonts, or
creating special characters. English and French instructions are provided.
Print150 1.00 (PRINT15)
Software, Etc.
$0
will print 120 or 150 lines per page on IBM/Epson Graphics printer. BASIC is
required. (In PsL tests, it did not work on an LQ-series printer.)
PRWide
is designed for printing files on wide paper on Epson compatible printers.
PRWIDE automatically determines which of three formats to use. Files with
long lines (greater than 135) will print single file. Files with medium size
lines (between 88 - 135) will print two pages on each sheet side by side.
Files with short lines (less than 88) will print three pages per sheet.

is a file printing utility for the Epson LQ-500 printer and other
Epson-compatible printers. It will optionally strip high bits to help convert
files to straight text. It lets you enter ASCII characters to signal it to
invoke different printing features, such as expanded print.

0194 Printer Control Small Programs Disk
--------------------
BuzOff
turns off the paper-out alarm.
EZ Epson 1.08 (EZEPSON)
Celista Software
$5
allows access to some of your printer's capabilities that are not available
through use of the front panel switches. One option available is the "feed
paper". It feeds the paper ahead just enough to remove the document, and then
reverses the paper so printing can resume on the next empty page. This avoids
wasting a lot of paper. It works with many Epson and Epson-mode printers.
EPset 3.1
Monroe, Gerald A.
$15
is an Epson printer set-up and control program. It also allows you to print
WordStar document files without converting them to ASCII first.
EpsonSet (EPSONSE)
memory-resident set-up utility for FX compatibles.
FX2LQ 1.0
Naff, Ric
$0
is a TSR that will monitor printer output and translate FX vertical-spacing
codes to LQ vertical-spacing codes. It takes 10k of DOS RAM.
FXMaster 3.31E
Raub, Brian
$15
uses one menu (or command line parameters) to let you select all 160+ Epson
FX-series fonts from your keyboard or batch files. The program can issue a
reset, linefeed, or form-feed, and can variably set margins, skip-over-perf,
line spacing and form length, and initial character sets. It also toggles
on/off: sheet-feeder, paper-out sensor, typewriter mode, and quiet (half-speed)
mode. It also supports "Dots Perfect" upgrade from Dresselhaus Industries.
LQ-1500
is the same as EpsonSet, but for the Epson LQ-1500.
LQ800
is a memory resident program which is designed to allow the user to select
from among 30 different fonts and options for Epson LQ800 printers.
LQ8Prnt 1.5
Forrest, Rob
$5
is a printer setup program for Epson LQ800 printers. It should also work with
the newer LQ series.
LQSeries
Grimmer, Dave
$10
will allow you to get any of the 224 different print styles from your Epson LQ
series printer.
Margin
is a menu-driven utility to set printer margins.
NU-Epson
is a "pop-up" printer set-up utility for Epson-compatible printers. We
already have one, but this one has different options.
P
is a menu-driven printer set-up program.
PerfSkip (PERFSKI)
skips designated number of lines over perforation.
PMenu3
is a resident printer setting utility.
PrnFiltr (PRNFILT)
Frank, Tom
$0
allows an EPSON LQ (or compatible) printer to more closely emulate an FX-80
class printer. This allows most graphics and word processing programs to work
properly. The main symptom is that pages printed are longer than 1 page.
This is due to the fact that the LQ uses the same escape sequences as the FX
but interprets the spacing codes differently.
Tiny
sets the printer to 17 cpi and 14 lines-per-inch.

0649 Sideways Printing
---------------------
LUM
LCS
$45
is a pop-up, sideways-printing utility for spreadsheet and text files for
Epson compatible printers. LUM supports reverse high-lighting, superscript,
subscript, up to eight types of underlining types or overstrikings, and
extended ASCII characters. LUM comes with a 10x6 dot font and a 40x24 dot
uppercase ASCII font. LUM invokes a secondary copy of COMMAND.COM, which it
requires to be on drive A:. 81k
PrintUp
DPI Services
$20
is a utility that can be used to intermix regular text with text that is
printed 90 degrees to the left of normal. PRINT-UP will give you the ability
to print the turned text to the left, right or in the middle of regular text.
PRINTUP has the ability to prescan the data file (what you see on your monitor
is what will go to your printer) that has PRINT-UP areas marked in the file.
The use of the prescan feature along with the ability to chose the lines of
the file that you want to prescan can save you a large amount of time. The
other timesaver of Print-up is that you can create a disk-file of the output
data and print it at your convenience.
SidePrnt (SIDEPRN)
$0
prints plain text files sideways. Enter: SIDEPRNT filename [/D] - "/D" doubles
the print quality. Pascal source code comes with it.
Sidewrite (SW)
DEA Software
$?
prints text files sideways to allow very long lines. For example, it will
print a spreadsheet (which has been printed to a disk file) that has too many
columns to fit across a page horizontally. Works on the IBM, Epson and HP
ThinkJet printers.
