     --------------------------------------------------------------


    WHAT IS IMAGEPRINT?

    IMAGEPRINT allows you to produce high quality printing on your
    standard IBM or Epson or compatible dot matrix printer.

    Text input to IMAGEPRINT can come either directly from the
    keyboard (typewriter mode) or from a disk file. The text input
    can contain embedded backslash ("\") commands, which select
    bold, underlining, double width, italics, etc. Text can be
    formatted (left and right justification, margins, etc.) with a
    word processor, or by using IMAGEPRINT's built-in formatting
    capabilities.


    WHAT DOES IMAGEPRINT INCLUDE?

     Characters -

    IMAGEPRINT allows you to print an IBM PC's extended character
    set in letter quality. All of the standard text characters,
    mathematical symbols, national characters and graphics
    characters are included.

     Character attributes -

    IMAGEPRINT provides all of the standard printer character
    attributes like 10 or 12 cpi (characters per inch), bold,
    underline, italic, double width, and compressed. Additional
    features provided by IMAGEPRINT include half-high, true
    superscript and subscript, Epson printer color control and
    proportional character spacing.

     Print Modes -

    There are five IMAGEPRINT print qualities:

      - Draft quality. Your printer's standard dot matrix output.
      - Low quality 3 pass printing.
      - Low quality single pass printing for proofing.
      - High quality 3 pass printing (this is the default output).
      - High quality 6 pass extra-dark printing.

     Fonts -

    All IMAGEPRINT font files have a standard name format: FONTxx,
    where xx is the number of the font.







                                  1








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    IMAGEPRINT includes 25 fonts:

      Standard fonts:

      FONT0,  Courier        FONT8,    OCRA
      FONT1,  Cubic         FONT9,    OCRB
      FONT2,  Elite         FONT10, Small
      FONT3,  Italic        FONT11, Pica
      FONT4,  Orator        FONT12, Block
      FONT5,  Typewriter        FONT13, Graphics
      FONT6,  Roman         FONT14, Spreadsheet
      FONT7,  Outline        FONT15, Clifton

      Large headline fonts:

      FONT16, Helv-18B        FONT21, Helv-26
      FONT17, Helv-20        FONT22, Roman-32
      FONT18, Helv-20B        FONT23, Helv-32
      FONT19, OldEnglish24        FONT24, Cent-34
      FONT20, Cent-26

    Font numbers above 15 are headline fonts and their approximate
    size in "points" (72 points = 1 inch) is included in their
    names. For example, Helv-26 is 26 points. Headline fonts
    should normally be printed using the "\P" proportional spacing
    command because they look much better that way.


    Formatting -

    IMAGEPRINT recognizes "dot commands" that set margins, text
    micro-justification, even and odd page gutters, automatic
    centering, headers, footers and line spacing. Backslash
    commands, including double width, do not affect the
    formatting. See the Section "Formatting Commands" for more
    details.

    Editing -

    IMAGEPRINT includes an "ASCII" editor, suitable for creating or
    modifying text files for printing with IMAGEPRINT. You can print
    or preview within the text editor.

    Previewing -

    IMAGEPRINT can preview what your printed output would look like
    on Hercules, CGA, EGA or VGA screens.

                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    WHAT PRINTERS DOES IMAGEPRINT WORK WITH?

    IMAGEPRINT is compatible with any of the following dot matrix
    printers:

      ALPS P2000, ASP1000
      Brother M1509, M1709
      Canon PW-1156A, PW-1080A, PW-1088A, A-50, A-40
      Citizen MSP series, 120D
      Epson DFX, EX, FX, GX, JX, LX, RX printers
      Epson LQ 24 pin printers or compatibles (use "-E" option)
      Epson compatible printers
      Fujitsu DX2200
      IBM Graphics Printer or compatibles
      IBM Proprinter or compatibles
      NEC Pinwriter
      Okidata 92/93 (IBM compatible versions; use "-M" option)
      Okidata 192/193 (IBM versions), 320/321
      Okidata 390 24 pin series
      Panasonic 1080, 1180, 1091, 1191, 1092, 1093, 1095, 1592, 1595
      Star Micronics NL/NP/NX/SD/SG series
      Tandy DMP 130/132/430

    THIS IS ONLY A PARTIAL LIST!. Almost all printers are IBM
    and/or Epson compatible. If in doubt about your printer's
    suitability, check that it recognizes the following control
    sequences: (ESC = ASCII 27)

      ESC "3"  - set line spacing in 216ths of an inch

      ESC "L"  - double density graphics mode (for Epson "MX" type
             printers)
         or
      ESC "Z"  - quadruple density graphics mode

    IMAGEPRINT works with printers connected to parallel port
    LPT1: (PRN:), LPT2:, or LPT3:. A printer with a serial
    interface will also work if you use the DOS "MODE" command to
    redirect output. For example:

      MODE LPT1:=COM1:

    would redirect printer output to serial port number 1. See
    your DOS manual for more information about the "MODE" command.


    WHAT COMPUTERS WILL IMAGEPRINT RUN ON?

    IMAGEPRINT works with any IBM Personal Computer, (PC, PC-XT,
    PC-AT, PCJr, PS/2, etc.) and any true compatibles or clones.
    It runs under PC-DOS or MS-DOS versions 2.0 and above.

                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    INSTALLING IMAGEPRINT

      COMPUTERS WITH FLOPPY DISKS ONLY:

    First, make working copies of the IMAGEPRINT diskettes. Usually
    IMAGEPRINT comes on two 5 1/4 diskettes, though some User-
    Supported Software distributors may compress everything onto one
    diskette or use a single 3 1/2 diskette. The diskettes are not
    copy protected, so they can be copied in the conventional way:

      1) Put the IMAGEPRINT master diskette in drive A:
      2) Put an empty formatted diskette in drive B:
      3) Type  "COPY  A:*.*  B:"
      4) Put the IMAGEPRINT supplemental fonts diskette in A:
      5) Put an empty formatted diskette in drive B:
      6) Type  "COPY  A:*.*  B:"

    The DOS "COPY" command is safer than the "DISKCOPY" command
    because the diskettes can be accidentally reversed and still
    not overwrite the IMAGEPRINT diskettes. Store the master
    diskettes in a safe place.

    If you are unfamiliar with this procedure, refer to your
    operating system manual.

      COMPUTERS WITH A HARD DISK:

      1) Create a directory on your hard disk for the IMAGEPRINT
         files. For example "MD IMAGE" will create a directory
         called IMAGE.
      2) Change your active directory to the newly-created
         IMAGEPRINT directory.
      3) Place the IMAGEPRINT master diskette in drive A:
      4) Type "COPY  A:*.*".
      5) Place the IMAGEPRINT supplemental fonts diskette in A:
      6) Type "COPY  A:*.*" again.

    All of the IMAGEPRINT files will then be copied to your hard
    disk.

      SETTING THE PATH

    To be able to run IMAGEPRINT from any directory or disk drive:

      1) Alter your DOS PATH to include the IMAGEPRINT directory
         in the search for executable files. For example, if
         IMAGEPRINT is in C:\IMAGE, and you don't already have a
         search path, type in:

           PATH=C:\IMAGE



                                  6








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      2) IMAGEPRINT recognizes a special environment string called
         FONTS, which allows you to specify the search path for
         IMAGEPRINT fonts. For example, if the IMAGEPRINT fonts
         are in C:\IMAGE, type in:

           SET FONTS=C:\IMAGE

    Do not include a trailing backslash.

    If you have two 360K floppy drives and you want to have access
    to all 25 fonts, you can put the IMAGEPRINT number one disk in
    A: and the number two disk in B: and then type in:

       SET FONTS=B:\

    If you run IMAGEPRINT from A:, it will then look on B: for any
    fonts it doesn't find on A:.

    If you are unfamiliar with search paths and environment strings,
    refer to your operating system manual.


    STARTING IMAGEPRINT

    Make sure you have the Disk Operating System (DOS) prompt
    displayed, then invoke IMAGEPRINT. The two methods of starting
    IMAGEPRINT (full screen menu or command line) are described
    below.

    You can abort IMAGEPRINT by pressing CTRL-C (the CTRL key,
    plus the "C" key at the same time). If your printer is not
    ready (off-line, out of paper, etc.), then the CTRL-C key
    combination may not be recognized because the part of your
    operating system that drives your printer may be in an endless
    loop. IMAGEPRINT will not time-out. This allows you, for
    example, to take your printer off-line while on the phone, and
    to resume printing later.


      USING THE FULL SCREEN MENU

    The syntax for running IMAGEPRINT in the full screen mode is:

      IP<ENTER>

    The <ENTER> symbol represents pressing the ENTER key. Do not
    type anything between IP and <ENTER>, or you will be starting
    IMAGEPRINT using the command line method described below.

    After invoking IMAGEPRINT, a full screen menu will be
    displayed.


                                  7








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    Note: Some IMAGEPRINT options, such as Epson MX compatibility
    mode, Epson 24 pin printer mode and print previewing are not
    available with the full screen menu. Use the command line method
    of starting IMAGEPRINT instead.

    Press Function key F10 when you are finished making your
    selections. Press the ESC key if you want to abort IMAGEPRINT
    and return to DOS.

    Instructions about how to move between selection fields and
    how to edit the contents of the fields will appear on your
    screen. Context sensitive help will also appear near the
    bottom of your screen as you move from field to field.

    The following selection fields are displayed:

    FILE TO PRINT:

     Enter the name of the file you wish to print with IMAGEPRINT.
     The text file must be in "ASCII" format, containing only
     printable characters (A...Z, 0...9, etc.) and no printer or
     word processor control codes. See the Section "Creating a
     Text File to Print" for more details about ASCII files and
     the IMAGEPRINT editor.

     The default input source is "CON:," which indicates that
     input will come from the keyboard (CONsole). This is called
     typewriter mode and is detailed in the Section "Typewriter
     Mode."

    FONT:

     This is the font number you wish to use, and can be a one or
     two digit number. The font name will be displayed to the
     right of the font number. When IMAGEPRINT is invoked, FONT1
     is the default font. FONT1, plus any other fonts you wish to
     use, must be on the same disk or subdirectory as IMAGEPRINT,
     unless you have set the FONTS environment string as described
     in the Section "Installing IMAGEPRINT."

    PRINT QUALITY:

     Draft - With this mode, IMAGEPRINT uses your printer's
     standard print quality and capabilities to print a rough
     draft of the text file.

     Fast - This mode uses an IMAGEPRINT font and is useful for
     printing rough drafts of a final copy which shows the font
     shapes. Only one print pass is made, instead of the default
     three print passes.

                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


     Quality - This is the default print mode for IMAGEPRINT. The
     print head makes 3 passes over each line, using an IMAGEPRINT
     font.

     Laser - In this mode, the print head makes 6 passes over each
     line, using an IMAGEPRINT font. This mode is useful if your
     printer has a worn ribbon. Otherwise, this mode may be
     excessively dark.

    CHARACTERS PER INCH:

     If you are using the standard size fonts (FONT0...FONT15),
     then the following characters per inch (cpi) densities are
     available:

      Compressed 17.1 cpi - With the compressed mode enabled,
      IMAGEPRINT compresses the current font to 17.1 characters per
      inch, yielding 136 characters per line on a letter width
      printer, and 233 characters per line on a wide carriage
      printer.

      12 cpi - Printing at 12 characters per inch density, allowing
      96 characters per line on a letter width printer, and 163
      characters per line on a wide carriage printer.

      10 cpi - This is the default setting of IMAGEPRINT. It will
      yield 80 characters per line on a letter width printer and
      136 characters on a wide carriage printer.

      Double width 5 cpi - Selects double width (5 characters per
      inch) density. Each character takes up twice as much space as
      the standard 10 cpi density.

     Fonts 16 through 24 almost always look best when proportionally
     spaced (enabled with "\P" embedded in the text to be printed).

    PRINTER:

     Enter the number of the port to which your printer is
     attached. This will almost always be "LPT1:," the IMAGEPRINT
     default. Only numbers 1, 2 or 3 are valid selections.

    80 COLUMN PRINTER:

     Set this flag to (Y)es if you are using a letter width (8
     inch platen) printer.

    136 COLUMN PRINTER:

     Set this flag to (Y)es if you are using a wide carriage
     printer.

                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    RESET BIT 7 OF INPUT:

     Set this field to (Y)es if you are printing a WordStar(tm)
     document file. This will turn off bit 7 of every character,
     which is the standard way of "cleaning" WordStar document
     files to make them print correctly. If you use WordStar's
     non-document mode for editing, you don't have to enable this
     option.

     Resetting bit 7 limits IMAGEPRINT's range of character values
     to the range 0...127, making the IBM PC's extended character
     set unavailable.

    OPTIMIZE PRINT SPEED:

     (Y)es will select print head movement optimization, which can
     speed up printing. When enabled, IMAGEPRINT will send regular
     10 cpi space characters to locate the print position, rather
     than always returning the print head to the left margin
     before each print pass. The default setting is "Y".

     Note - It is assumed that your printer is in 10 characters
     per inch mode if print head optimization is enabled. If your
     printer is not at 10 cpi print density because of a software
     command or the setting of your printer's DIP switches, text
     will print at the wrong location.

      USING A COMMAND LINE

    This method is suitable for running IMAGEPRINT from within a
    batch file, or if you don't want to use the IMAGEPRINT full
    screen menu to select options. You must first create a text
    file to print. See the Section "Creating a Text File to Print".

    The syntax for running IMAGEPRINT using a command line is:

      IP  input-file  [LPTx:]  [dash options]     {x=1,2,3}

    The "command line" is what you type after "IP." For example,
    in the following example, "LETTER.DAT -E" is the command line:

      IP LETTER.DAT -E

    The command line can be typed in as either upper or lower
    case.

    The input-file is the source of input to IMAGEPRINT. This can
    be either "CON:" (typewriter mode) or a disk file in ASCII
    format.




                                 10








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    Following the input-file name is the printer port
    specification. This can be LPT1:, PRN:, LPT2: or LPT3:. If you
    don't specify the printer port, it will default to LPT1:.

    Examples:

      IP C:\LETTR\TEXTFIL           {input from C:\LETTR\TEXTFIL}

      IP CON:               {input from console (keyboard)}

    The dash options are dashes ("-"), immediately followed by one
    or two characters. Each dash option must be separated by at
    least 1 space from anything else.

    These dash options correspond to options displayed when the
    full screen menu method of starting IMAGEPRINT is used. Do not
    confuse command line dash options with backslash ("\")
    commands embedded in the printed text. The dash options are:

    -E : (E)pson 24 pin printer

      Use this option if you are using IMAGEPRINT with an Epson or
      compatible 24 pin printer. For example:

        IP -E

      The "-E" option maintains standard 6 lines per inch spacing.
      Without the "-E", 24 pin printers elongate IMAGEPRINT's
      output vertically, resulting in 55 lines on an 11 inch page,
      instead of the standard 66 lines.

      If the "-E" option is used, the "\S" (six lines per inch)
      and "\E" (eight lines per inch) backslash commands have no
      effect.

      Technical explanation:

      The same ESC "3" printer command means something different
      to 9 and 24 pin printers. On a 9 pin, it sets up the line
      feed distance in increments of n/216", and on a 24 pin it
      sets up the line feed distance in increments of n/180". The
      "-E" lets IMAGEPRINT know that it is dealing with 180ths
      instead of 216ths.

    -P  : (P)review

      This option sends IMAGEPRINT's output to your screen instead
      of your printer. Your computer must have a graphics card that
      is Hercules, CGA, EGA or VGA compatible. All IMAGEPRINT error
      messages that are normally sent to your screen are suppressed
      during preview. There is a pause after each screenful until


                                 11








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      you press a key. To break out of preview mode before the end
      of the text file is reached, press CTRL-C rapidly several times.

      If IMAGEPRINT incorrectly reports that a graphics card isn't
      installed, you can force IMAGEPRINT to preview by using the
      following variations of the "-P" command:

        -PH       preview to a Hercules or compatible screen
        -PC       preview to a CGA or compatible screen
        -PE       preview to an EGA or compatible screen
        -PV       preview to a VGA or compatible screen

    -+  : 136 Column Printer

      IMAGEPRINT assumes you are using a letter-width printer,
      with an 8 inch platen. If you have a wide-carriage printer,
      use the "-+" command line option, which tells IMAGEPRINT it
      can print all the way to the right side of the wide platen.

    -Cx : Multiple (C)opies

      You set the number of copies with the "-Cx" command line
      option, where 'x' represents the number of copies you want.
      For example, to print three copies of LETTER.TXT:

        IP LETTER.TXT -C3

      You can only print multiple copies of disk files. Keyboard
      input can't be duplicated. A form feed is sent to your printer
      between each copy.

    -M : Epson (M)X compatibility

      IMAGEPRINT normally drives a printer in quadruple density
      graphics mode, which earlier Epson printers don't support.
      The "-M" option selects double density mode, which many "MX"
      and compatible printers do recognize.

    -D : (D)raft

      Print a rough draft of the text, using only your printer's
      built-in print modes. This corresponds to the draft printing
      choice on the full screen menu.

    -O : (O)ptimize print speed

      If print head movement optimization is enabled, then
      IMAGEPRINT will send regular spaces to locate the print
      position, rather than always returning the print head to the
      left margin for each print pass. This corresponds to the
      optimize print speed selection on the full screen menu.


                                 12








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    -F or -G or -Q or -L : Select print quality

      These four selections correspond to the backslash commands
      "\F," "\G," "\Q" and "\L" that can be embedded in the input
      text. This allows printing of text files using different print
      qualities without having to re-edit the text file to change
      the quality selection.

    -00...-24 : Select font

      Select which font to use when printing your document. The
      default font is FONT1; Cubic. You can, of course, also
      change fonts by using embedded backslash commands in the
      text being printed.

    -W : Print a WordStar document file

      All characters in the text file being printed will be
      "cleaned." This option corresponds to the reset bit 7 option
      on the full screen menu.

    -# : Print to a disk file

      This option causes IMAGEPRINT to send its output to a disk
      file, instead of directly to your printer. This option can
      be useful if you have a hard disk and wish to save
      IMAGEPRINT's output for printing later.

      The "#" is immediately followed by the name of the file that
      is to hold IMAGEPRINT's output. There must not be any gap
      between the "#" and the file name. For example:

        IP SAMPLE.TXT -#TEMP.BIN

      would create a file called TEMP.BIN that contains
      IMAGEPRINT's output of SAMPLE.TXT. When you are ready to
      print the file, you must use the "/B" option of the DOS COPY
      command. For example:

        COPY /B TEMP.BIN PRN:

      The "/B" is necessary because an IMAGEPRINT output file
      contains "binary" data.

      Note: Make sure you have enough room on your disk to hold
      the output file. IMAGEPRINT outputs a lot of data because it
      drives your printer in graphics mode. For example, a single
      page of text can take up 360K of disk space.





                                 13








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    -N : (N)o Printer Reset

      IMAGEPRINT normally resets your printer before printing. You
      can disable the reset with the "-N" command line option. For
      example:

        IP -N

      One instance where this command is useful is if you are
      using a batch file to print different files with IMAGEPRINT.
      Because a printer can buffer data, IMAGEPRINT may reset your
      printer before it is finished printing the previous file.

    -T : Alternate (T)rigger Character

      You can now substitute another trigger character for the "\"
      trigger character used by ImagePrint. "-T" is the command
      line switch. You must immediately follow the "-T" by the
      character you want to be the new trigger character. For
      example, if you wanted to use "^" as the new trigger
      character:

        IP -T^

      This option is useful because files that already contain "\"
      characters can be printed as-is.

    Command line examples:

      IP AFILE LPT3: -O    {print to LPT3:, optimize print speed}
      IP LETTER -E        {using Epson LQ type printer}
      IP CON: -9        {Use FONT9, input from keyboard}


      TYPEWRITER MODE

    You can select typewriter mode from either the full screen
    menu method or command line method of starting IMAGEPRINT (see
    above.) Just specify the text input source as CON:, which is
    your keyboard.

    All IMAGEPRINT backslash and dot formatting commands are
    recognized. The current line can be edited with the standard
    DOS keyboard buffer editing syntax. The most useful editing
    keys are:

      BACKSPACE      delete character to left of cursor.
      TAB          move to next tab stop.
      FUNCTION KEY 1  display previous line 1 character at a time.
      FUNCTION KEY 3  display entire previous line.
      <ENTER>      print the line that is visible on the screen.


                                 14








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    Because the top of large fonts extend up into the previous
    lines, IMAGEPRINT has to pre-scan lines. This means that
    IMAGEPRINT can't print the current line until it has seen what
    is on the following two lines. This pre-scan results in a two
    line delay in printing when you are using IMAGEPRINT's
    "typewriter" mode. The prescan isn't apparent when printing a
    text file.

    When in typewriter mode, IMAGEPRINT can't print large
    characters on the first line, because the paper can't be
    moved backward to allow the top of the large characters to
    print. For the largest fonts, you must leave a two line gap.

    Each line on the screen is not sent to IMAGEPRINT until the
    <ENTER> key is pressed, because a keyboard buffer stores the
    characters.

    To exit IMAGEPRINT and return to DOS, press <ENTER>, then
    press the function key F6, and then press <ENTER> again.


    CREATING A TEXT FILE TO PRINT

    When creating a text file, any IMAGEPRINT backslash or dot
    commands are entered directly into the text you want to print. A
    backslash is an ordinary printable character; only IMAGEPRINT
    considers it as a command.

    If you are using IMAGEPRINT's dot formatting commands, then
    all of your text should start at the far left margin, in
    column 1. Use the ".LM" left margin command to shift the test
    over to the correct position.

      USING THE IMAGEPRINT EDITOR IE

    The IMAGEPRINT editor IE, which is included with IMAGEPRINT, can
    be used to create a plain "ASCII" file. ASCII is computer
    terminology for a file that contains only printable text. IE can
    remove any non-printing 'garbage' from a file and can also
    directly run IMAGEPRINT so you can preview or print while you are
    editing a file. The preview facility is especially useful, as
    you can interactively change the file until it is ready to
    print. IE.DOC is the documentation file for IE.

      USING YOUR WORD PROCESSOR

    If you use your own text editor or word processor, create a
    diskette file you wish to print with IMAGEPRINT. Your word
    processor must be able to create standard "ASCII" or "DOS" files,
    containing only printable characters, to work correctly with
    IMAGEPRINT. There must be no word processor formatting


                                 15








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    information or special printer control codes contained in the
    file.

    You must be at the DOS prompt to use IMAGEPRINT. You cannot
    access it directly from within your word processor.

    Note  -  See the description of THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES
    in the Appendix if you wish to print directly from your word
    processor, spreadsheet, etc. without first having to create an
    intermediate ASCII file.

    Creating an ASCII file can be accomplished as follows for the
    following common word processing programs:

      MICROSOFT WORD : Save as an unformatted file, or print to
      disk using a plain vanilla printer driver.

      MULTIMATE : Use "TTYCRLF.PAT" as a generic printer
      definition file. Select "print to file" from the print menu,
      as well as draft print quality. Do not use left or top
      margins.

      PC-WRITE : Default is standard ASCII. Edit the file, don't
      use the ALT keys, and save the file to disk.

      VOLKSWRITER : Select plain vanilla printer driver and
      print to disk.

      WORDPERFECT : Save your work as a "DOS" file using the Text
      In/Out function, accessed by pressing CTRL-F5.

      WORDSTAR : Use the non-document mode or use IMAGEPRINT's
      "Reset bit 7" facility to print a document file.

      WORDSTAR 2000 : When you edit a file, use the format
      file "UNFORM.FRM."

    Most word processors can save text in ASCII format. Check
    your documentation on how to do this if your word processor
    isn't listed above.


      BACKSLASH COMMANDS

    A backslash ("\"), NOT a slash ("/"), is used by IMAGEPRINT.
    Backslash commands, which select character density, width,
    etc., are standard printable characters, embedded within the
    text of a file created for printing with IMAGEPRINT. For
    example, "\I" gives you italics, and "\U" gives you
    underlining. These backslash commands are recognized as
    IMAGEPRINT commands, and are removed from the stream of data


                                 16








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    sent to the printer. They are not printed. If formatting is
    enabled, backslash commands, including the double width
    command, will not affect margin justification.

    There is no space between the backslash and the following
    character(s) that identify the command. Most backslash
    commands are made up of a backslash, plus one more alphabetic
    character. One exception is font selection, where the
    backslash can be followed by up to two numeric characters.

    There are two kinds of backslash commands: toggling and non-
    toggling. Toggling commands reverse the current state of the
    mode selected. For example, because DOUBLE WIDTH is a toggling
    command, the first "\W" encountered enables DOUBLE WIDTH mode,
    the second cancels DOUBLE WIDTH, etc. You can turn off all
    active toggling modes with "\C" (cancel).

    Non-toggling commands are cancelled by selecting another
    mutually exclusive mode. For example, if "\|" is selected (12
    characters per inch), a later "\>" (10 cpi) command will
    cancel 12 cpi mode and enable 10 cpi mode.

    The backslash command characters (except for the color
    commands) represent, as closely as possible, the action
    involved. For example, superscript is "\^," subscript is "\v."
    Backslash commands can be combined. For example:

      \u\bThis would print as underlined bold\c

    In the following backslash summary, the command letters
    following the backslash are shown in upper case, though lower
    case will also work.

    There are examples of backslash commands in the files
    TUTOR_1.TXT and TUTOR_2.TXT on the IMAGEPRINT diskette.


      FONTS:

    IMAGEPRINT fonts are broken into two categories; standard
    fonts (FONT0...FONT15) and headline fonts (FONT16...FONT24).
    Both types of fonts are selected with backslash commands. For
    example:

        \02This is FONT2 (Elite), \21this is FONT21 (Helv-26).

    The font files selected must be on the same drive that
    IMAGEPRINT was started on, unless you have set the FONTS
    environment string (see the Section "Installing IMAGEPRINT").
    Your new font choice remains in effect until over-ridden by
    another font choice.


                                 17








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    To see what all the fonts look like, print the ALLFONTS.TXT
    file with IMAGEPRINT:

      IP ALLFONTS.TXT

       STANDARD FONTS -

    Standard fonts are smaller than headline fonts and are
    typically used to print the main body of a document.

    All standard fonts (except FONT13, see note below) include the
    IBM PC's extended character set. If your word processor allows
    it, you can access any extended character (above 127 decimal)
    by using the ALT key on your keyboard. For example, the ASCII
    value for a British pound sign is 156. To input the pound sign
    from your keyboard, hold the ALT key down and type 156 using
    your numeric keypad. Then release the ALT key. A pound sign
    should then appear in your text on-screen.

    The numbers following the backslashes correspond to
    the font files:

      00 - FONT0 (Courier)
      01 - FONT1 (Cubic)
      02 - FONT2 (Elite)
      03 - FONT3 (Italic)
      04 - FONT4 (Orator)
      05 - FONT5 (Typewriter)
      06 - FONT6 (Roman)
      07 - FONT7 (Outline)
      08 - FONT8 (OCRA)
      09 - FONT9 (OCRB)
      10 - FONT10 (Small)
      11 - FONT11 (Pica)
      12 - FONT12 (Block)
      13 - FONT13 (Graphics)
      14 - FONT14 (Spreadsheet)
      15 - FONT15 (Clifton)

    The default font is FONT1, Cubic.

    There can be up to two digits following the backslash. The
    first character following the backslash must be a digit. If
    the second character is also a digit, then IMAGEPRINT assumes
    that the two digits combined select a font.

    Examples:

      "\0123" would use FONT1 to print "23"
      "\0abc" would use FONT0 to print "abc"
      "\06123" would use FONT6 to print "123"


                                 18








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    Mixing different fonts on the same line slows the printing
    because of the font file disk access time. IMAGEPRINT has
    to load each font while accumulating the line before printing,
    and also has to load each font to print the line. Using a RAM
    memory disk or a hard disk greatly reduces the font access
    time.

    All standard fonts except FONT13 have the extended IBM
    character set in ASCII positions 128...255. FONT13 has
    different character shapes, such as rounded corners for boxes,
    a copyright symbol, etc. To see what these shapes look like,
    you can print FONT13.SHP with ImagePrint:

      IP FONT13.SHP

    You cannot use italic mode ("\I") or half-high mode ("\H")
    with FONT13.

    The SPREADSHEET font (FONT14) has been specially designed for
    printing spreadsheets in compressed (17.1 characters per inch)
    mode. It doesn't alter it's shape when compressed, like the
    other fonts.

    The CLIFTON font (FONT15) is the largest standard font,
    suitable for headings, etc. It works best at 10 characters
    per inch. You cannot use italic mode or half-high mode with
    this font.

       HEADLINE FONTS -

    Headline fonts are just like standard-size fonts with a few
    exceptions:

      1) Headline fonts should almost always be printed using
         proportional spacing (see the "\P" command). They are
         designed to look much better that way.
      2) If proportional mode isn't selected, the large fonts
         print at either 5 or 3.3 characters per inch, not the
         standard 10 or 12 cpi.
      3) Headline fonts are tall, so you need to leave some
         blank space above them, or they print on top of the
         previous line(s) of text.
      4) Headline fonts can't be italicized with the "\I" command
         or made half-high with the "\H" command.

    Headline fonts are selected just like standard fonts, with
    backslash commands:

        \18This is FONT18, \21this is FONT21.




                                 19

    The numbers following the backslashes correspond to the font
    files:

      16 - FONT16 (Helv-18B)
      17 - FONT17 (Helv-20)
      18 - FONT18 (Helv-20B)
      19 - FONT19 (OldEnglish24)
      20 - FONT20 (Cent-26)
      21 - FONT21 (Helv-26)
      22 - FONT22 (Roman-32)
      23 - FONT23 (Helv-32)
      24 - FONT24 (Cent-34)

    Headline fonts are usable only with IMAGEPRINT - Metatext
    can't use them.

      \19\Pproportional looks MUCH BETTER than \>fixed spacing

    In order to print the new large fonts, several changes have
    been made to IMAGEPRINT:

    1) Because the top of large fonts extend up into the previous
       lines, IMAGEPRINT has to pre-scan lines. This means that
       IMAGEPRINT can't be sure it's safe to print the current
       line until it has seen what is on the following two lines.
       This pre-scan results in a two line delay in printing when
       you are using IMAGEPRINT's "typewriter" mode. The prescan
       isn't apparent when printing a text file.

    2) There are two circumstances where IMAGEPRINT can't print
       large characters:

        a) On the first line of the first page. For the largest
           fonts, with point sizes greater than 26, you must skip
           two blank lines.

        b) At the top of a page reached by using a form feed.

           If you use line feeds instead of a form feed to move
           to a page (other than the first), then large
           characters can print on the first line.

       The reason for this limitation is that IMAGEPRINT can't
       print a large font if it would require moving the paper
       backwards, which not all printers are capable of.

       IMAGEPRINT will output an error message if it can't print
       the text, which it then ignores.

    Printing a large font doesn't change the line feed distance,
    so you must allow for the extra height by leaving blank


                                 20








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    lines above a tall font. This gives you clearance between
    the line with the tall font and the line(s) above.

    Don't change the line feed distance (with "\E" or "\S")
    within 2 lines of any large font, or distortion of the large
    font can result, because large fonts span multiple lines.

    The default print density is 5 cpi for FONT17 and FONT18. The
    default density for the other large fonts is 3.3 cpi.

    The "density" backslash commands have a different meaning when
    used with larger fonts:

     - "\<", which normally selects 17.1 characters per inch
       compressed printing, halves the default characters per
       inch density.

     - Both "\>" and "\|" have the same effect, which is to
       select the default print density.

    "\P" still selects proportional mode, which is very much
    recommended.

    Large fonts have ASCII characters from 32 to 126.
    International, line drawing and math characters aren't
    included.

    When you use a large font keep in mind that different font
    sizes have different font widths. For example, if you print:

      \11Hello\19    there

    the "there" prints much farther to the right than:

      \11Hello   \19there

    because in the first instance the leading FONT19 spaces are
    much wider than the FONT11 spaces.

    If you are using IMAGEPRINT's dot formatting commands and
    using large fonts for headlines, etc., then you should switch
    back to your standard paragraph text font as soon as possible.
    For example:

      .en
      .lm 9             {left margin = 9}
      .rm 72            {right margin = 72}
      .ce                {center the font 24 text}
      \P\24FONT24 Headline\>\04    {switch to FONT4 immediately!}
      .lf 1             {move down 1 line}
      Paragraph text using FONT4 starts here


                                 21








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      PRINT QUALITY:

    Four IMAGEPRINT print qualities are available that use
    IMAGEPRINT fonts:

     \F - (F)ast low quality 3 pass printing.

       In this mode the print head moves at standard printer
       speed. The printing is more dotty than the other two modes,
       especially in the horizontal direction. All character
       attributes can be used except BOLD.

     \G - (G)rouped low quality printing.

       In this mode, what normally prints using three print passes
       only takes one pass. This is the fastest print mode and is
       good for printing a rough draft that shows what the final
       copy will look like.

       You can also use the command line version of this option, "-G",
       when using the preview option "-P" to get faster screen output.
       For example:

         IP LETTER -P -G

       If you use "-G" with the screen preview mode, then you may
       see horizontal tramlines running through the text.

     \Q - (Q)uality High quality 3 pass printing.

       In this mode the print head moves at one half standard
       printer speed. This is the default quality of IMAGEPRINT.
       The print quality is excellent.

     \L - (L)aser High quality 6 pass printing.

       In this mode, the print head moves at one half standard
       printer speed. Use this mode for your most important
       printing, or if your printer ribbon is getting old. On some
       printers, 6 passes will be too bold, or dark.

    The above print qualities are different from selecting standard
    printer draft mode ("-D") when starting IMAGEPRINT.

      CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES:

    \B : BOLD
       Toggle bold mode. Bold characters appear darker and
       thicker in appearance. Example:

         \bThis would print in bold, \c and this would not


                                 22








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    \H : HALF HIGH

       Toggle half high mode. Half high characters are compressed
       in the vertical direction, much like subscript or
       superscript characters appear on a standard dot matrix
       printer.

         \hThis would print half high, \cand this would not

    \I : ITALIC

       Toggle italic mode. Italic characters lean to the right.

         \iThis would print in italic, \cand this would not

    \U : UNDERLINE

       Toggle underline mode. Characters received after this
       command will be underlined. A space is considered a
       character, and will be underlined too, unless formatting
       (".EN") and left and right justification (".WW") are
       enabled, in which case only printable characters can be
       underlined.

         \uThis would print underlined, \cand this would not

    \W : DOUBLE WIDTH

       Toggle double width mode. One double width character takes
       up exactly 2 normal character widths.

       If formatting is enabled (".EN"), you must not span spaces,
       line feeds, or tabs in double width mode. If you do, an
       error message will be displayed. The reason for this
       restriction is that a line may break at any point and, if
       double width mode is still active, then the left margin of
       the next line may not be correctly located. Double width
       can, however, encase a word that contains soft or hard
       hyphens.

       Examples:

         \wWord AnotherWord\w         {ERROR}
         \wOneword\w \wAnotherWord\w     {OK}
         \wHy\-phen\-ated\w          {Soft hyphens - OK}
         \wOver-ride\w             {Hard hyphen - OK}







                                 23








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      CHARACTER OFFSETS:

    \^ : SUPERSCRIPT

       Select superscripted printing for the following characters.
       Use "\N" or "\C" to exit this mode.

       IMAGEPRINT won't print any text that would require a
       backward movement of paper through the printer. This means
       that some characters of the larger fonts (FONT4, FONT5,
       FONT7, FONT12, FONT15) will not print in superscript mode
       on the first line of the first page.

    \V : SUBSCRIPT

       Select subscripted printing for the following characters.
       Use "\N" or "\C" to exit this mode.

    \N : NORMAL OFFSET

       Select a standard offset for the following characters. The
       offset is the distance above or below the standard print
       position on a line. This command ends superscript and
       subscript mode.

       Examples:

         \vThis would be subscript, \^this would be superscript
         \nnormal offset


      CANCELLING CHARACTER ATTRIBUTES/OFFSETS:

    \C : CANCEL

       Cancel all character attributes and offsets. This command
       is useful because keeping track of the current state of the
       toggling commands can become difficult. Bold, half high,
       italic, underline, and double width are all cancelled, plus
       any superscripting and subscripting.

       Note: "\C" does not cancel a print density command.

      PRINT DENSITY:

    \> : 10 CPI

       Select 10 characters per inch mode. IMAGEPRINT defaults to
       this density.




                                 24








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    \| : 12 CPI

       Select 12 characters per inch mode. In this mode, 96
       characters will print on an 8" line. The backslash is
       immediately followed by the vertical bar character, which
       often has a break in the middle.

    \< : COMPRESSED

       Select 17.1 characters per inch mode. In this mode, 136
       characters will print on an 8" line.

    \P : PROPORTIONAL

       Select proportional inter-character spacing. This means
       that a "W" will take up more space than a "!," for example.
       The number of characters that can print on a line depends
       on the accumulated character widths.

       Print density examples:

         \<This would print compressed
         \|this would print at 12 cpi
         \>and this would print at 10 cpi
         \pthis would print proportionally

       When printing headline fonts (FONT16...FONT24),
       proportional mode often looks much better than fixed
       spacing.

      LINES PER INCH:

    \S : SIX LINES PER INCH

       Select 1/6 inches inter-line spacing. This is the default
       value of IMAGEPRINT. This command is identical in action
       to the ".LI 6" dot formatting command.

       This is the standard vertical line spacing of a dot matrix
       printer.

    \E : EIGHT LINES PER INCH

       Select 1/8 inches inter-line spacing.

      STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE:

    \[ : BEGIN STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE

       Text received after this command is printed in standard
       printer quality. The only backslash command recognized in


                                 25








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


       this mode is the "END STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE" command
       ("\]"). All other backslash commands received are printed
       as normal text. This mode is useful for mixing standard
       printing and IMAGEPRINT quality printing on the same page.
       It is also useful for sending non-printing ASCII character
       values (values below 31 decimal, 1F hex) to your printer.

       Standard printing and IMAGEPRINT quality printing cannot be
       successfully mixed on the same line. The character placement
       and paper movement will not be correct.

    \] : END STRAIGHT THROUGH MODE

       Characters received after this command are printed in
       IMAGEPRINT quality. All backslash commands are enabled
       following this command.

      SOFT HYPHENS WHEN FORMATTING:

    \- : POTENTIAL WORD BREAK

       If formatting has been enabled (".EN"), then a line can be
       broken any place a soft hyphen "\-" appears in a word. To
       minimize the size of gaps between words if right justifica-
       tion is enabled, long words can be broken up into sections
       with the soft hyphen.

       Soft hyphen examples:

         for\-mat\-ting   il\-lus\-tra\-tion

      PRINTING A BACKSLASH:

    \\ : DOUBLE BACKSLASH

       To print a single backslash character, put double backslash
       characters in the input text, with no intervening space.

      COLOR CONTROL:

       If you have an Epson JX color printer, or a compatible,
       IMAGEPRINT can control each line's color. It is not
       possible to mix different colors on the same line. If more
       than 1 color backslash command is on a line, the left-most
       command is the one recognized for that line. The backslash
       commands and the corresponding colors are:

         \!  : BLACK    \&    : YELLOW     \%  : PURPLE
         \@  : RED        \*    : ORANGE     \$  : BLUE
         \=  : GREEN



                                 26








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    FORMATTING COMMANDS

    IMAGEPRINT has text formatting capability using individual
    commands that specify the page length, left and right margin,
    word wrap, etc.

    You do not need to use IMAGEPRINT formatting if your word
    processor has already formatted your text, and you can use
    IMAGEPRINT backslash commands without using the text
    formatting commands.

    You must explicitly turn on formatting with the ENABLE
    FORMATTING command (".EN"). The ".EN" command must come before
    any other formatting command. Otherwise, all text preceding
    ".EN", including formatting commands, is printed literally.

    Each formatting command is preceded by a ".", which must be
    the first printable character on a line. Leading spaces or
    tabs are ignored. Formatting commands like this, that have a
    leading ".", are called dot commands. A dot command line is
    not printed, and only one dot command can be on a line. The
    command type is made up of two characters, upper or lower
    case, following the dot, separated from it by zero or more
    spaces. There must be no space between the two command
    characters. If there is an optional trailing variable, it is
    separated from the command type characters by zero or more
    spaces. The following dot commands are equivalent:

      .lf3
      .   LF 3
      . lf       3

    Depending on the type of command, a trailing variable can
    either be a literal string, or a relative or absolute
    numerical value. An example of an absolute numerical value in
    a command is ".LM 3". Following this command, the left margin
    will be set to column 3. An example of a relative numerical
    value in a command is ".RM -10". Following this command, the
    right margin is shifted ten columns to the left.

    If the formatting command normally expects a trailing
    variable, and it is missing, the default value is assumed. The
    default values of the variable parameters are:

      .PN 1   (page number 1)
      .PL 66  (page length = 66 lines, or 11 inches at 6 lines/inch)
      .LS 1   (no extra gap between lines)
      .LM 1   (left margin = column 1)
      .RM 80  (right margin = column 80, unless you selected a
           wide carriage printer)



                                 27








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    These commands are explained in the following sections.

    Word wrap (".WW") is initially enabled, and there are no
    default headers or footers. If you want a top and bottom
    margin, you can define blank headers and/or footers.

    The diskette file TUTOR_2.TXT shows IMAGEPRINT formatting and
    backslash commands in use and has extensive comments.

    The character positions each backslash command takes up is
    taken into account during formatting. The extra width
    generated by the DOUBLE WIDTH command is also taken into
    account. The double width and underline backslash commands
    should not span spaces or tabs or line feeds. Each individual
    word should be "wrapped:"

      \wwide\w  \uunderline\u  \wsemi-detached\w  \why\-phen\w

    This is because a line may be broken at any point and the
    double width mode continuing on to the next line can cause
    margin shift and the underlining mode continuing on to the
    next line can cause leading spaces to be underlined.

    Compressed, 12 characters per inch and 10 characters per inch
    cannot be mixed on a line that is to be left and right
    justified. The left and right margins shift when switching
    density. Keep the entire document in one density or use the
    FORCE PRINTING formatting command (".FP") to clear the
    formatting buffer before changing density.

    If formatting has not been enabled, IMAGEPRINT recognizes
    tabs, line feeds, and form feeds. If formatting is enabled
    (".EN"), form feed characters are ignored. If formatting, use
    the ".PA" dot command to move to the next page.

    .EN  : ENABLE FORMATTING

      Default: not enabled.

      If you are going to use IMAGEPRINT's dot command formatting
      capabilities, include the enable command at the very top of
      your text file, before any other dot command or printable
      text. Once ".EN" has been sent, all of the dot commands are
      recognized. Otherwise no scanning for dot commands takes
      place and all text is printed literally.

      Formatting is not initially enabled because you may have
      already formatted your text with a word processor, or you
      may not want formatting. Backslash commands are always
      recognized.



                                 28








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      When ".EN" is first encountered in the input text the values
      for variable parameters are set to the default values. ".EN"
      should only be sent once. There is no "disable formatting"
      command. Once enabled, formatting is active until IMAGEPRINT
      returns to DOS. You can get the effect of disabled
      formatting if you send the ".NW" command and set the left
      margin to 1 and the right margin to the width of your
      printer. If you have defined headers and footers, you can
      cancel them with the ".KI" command.

    .PL x  :PAGE LENGTH

      x default: 66 lines, or 11 inches at 6 lines/in.

      Set page length to x lines. This is always the actual length
      of the paper in your printer. If you don't specify headers and
      footers, the entire page is available to you for printing text.
      To get a blank area at the top and bottom of each page, define
      blank header and footer lines. The page length command normally
      appears once in a document, before the first printable text.

    .PN x : PAGE NUMBER

      x default: 1

      Set the current page number. If an "&&&" string appears in a
      header or footer, the current page number will be
      substituted. The page number increments automatically as
      each page is printed.

    .PA : MOVE TO NEXT PAGE

      This command forces the current contents of the print buffer
      to be sent to the printer and moves the paper to the top of
      the next page. If you are already at the top of a new page,
      this command will have no effect.

    .PR  : PRINTING PAGE RANGE

      This dot command prompts you for the starting and ending
      pages to print. The page numbers correspond to the count of
      pages actually printed, not the page number set by the ".PN"
      command. The ".PR" command avoids unnecessary printing,
      especially if only one page in a long document needs reprinting.

     HEADERS AND FOOTERS:

      A header is the text that automatically prints at the top of
      each page and a footer is the text that automatically prints
      at the bottom of each page. If you want top and bottom
      margins, use blank header and footer lines.


                                 29








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      IMAGEPRINT allows a variable number of header and footer
      lines on both even and odd pages. You might have 3 even page
      headers, 5 odd page headers, 2 even page footers and 3 odd
      page footers. If you specify only 1 kind of header or
      footer, it will print on both even and odd pages.

      Three dots "..." in a header or footer string cause
      justification to take place:

        .EF ...even page footer, right justified
        .EFeven page footer, left justified...
        .EF ...even page footer, centered...
        .EFleft justified...centered...right justified

      If the header or footer is longer than the width specified
      by the ".SW" (set width) command, it will be truncated.

      Headers and footers do not shift if the left or right
      margins are altered. Shift the headers and footers with the
      ".EE" and ".OE" commands.

      If the header or footer string contains an "&&&" string,
      then the current page number is substituted for the "&&&".

      The header/footer storage pool holds about 950 characters.
      This is more than most people will ever need. If you run out
      of room by specifying a lot of headers and footers (and get
      the error message), you may not be taking advantage of
      "...". Headers and footers are justified and expanded as
      they are printed and do not take up much room in storage.

      The file TUTOR_2.TXT shows all four types of headers and
      footers in use.

    .EH string  : EVEN PAGE HEADER

      Default: empty

      As an example, the following dot commands would cause a 3
      line header to print on all even pages, and all odd pages
      too, if no odd header had been defined. The printing header
      line would be preceded by 1 blank line and followed by 1
      blank line. The first line of document text would be
      immediately below the last header line, on line 4.

        .EH
        .EH ... IMAGEPRINT Demonstration page &&&
        .EH

    .OH string  : ODD PAGE HEADER

      Default: empty

      Same format as ".EH" above.

    .EF string  : EVEN PAGE FOOTER

      Default: empty

      Same format as ".EH" above.

    .OF string  : ODD PAGE FOOTER

      Default: empty

      Same format as ".EH" above.

    .SW x  : SET HEADER AND FOOTER WIDTH

      default: 80 (unless 136 column printer selected with "-+"
               on command line)

      This command allows you to set the length of the headers and
      footers and thus the header or footer right margin when
      using justification ("..."). Headers and footers are
      truncated if they are longer than the ".SW" value.

    .KI  : KILL HEADER AND FOOTER DEFINITIONS

      This command cancels all header and footer definitions. Use
      it to change or remove your headers and/or footers in the
      middle of a document. Be sure to move to the top of a new
      page (by using ".PA") before issuing this command. Also,
      specify any new headers and/or footers immediately after a
      ".KI" command.

    .LI x  : LINES PER INCH

      x default: 6

      Only two values for x are recognized: 6 or 8 lines per inch.
      All other values are ignored. Six lines per inch works well
      with proportional, 12 and 10 cpi characters. Eight lines per
      inch works well with compressed (17.1 cpi) characters.

      Switching the lines per inch value in the middle of printing
      a document can cause page alignment problems.

                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    .LS x  : LINE SPACING

      x default: 1

      x is the number of line feeds between text lines. For
      example, to print on every other line, use ".LS 2".

    .PP x  : START PARAGRAPH

      x default: 0

      The paper will move down 1 line and the first line of the
      new paragraph will be indented x spaces.

    .WW  : WORD WRAP WITH JUSTIFICATION

      Default: enabled

      Turn on left and right justification within the boundaries
      of the left and right margins. If the line is too short,
      spaces are inserted into the line following punctuation
      characters ("." ":" ";" "?" "!"). If IMAGEPRINT quality mode
      was selected, and the line is still not left and right
      justified, then the line is micro-justified by increasing
      the gap between words by an equal amount. If draft mode was
      selected when IMAGEPRINT was started, then justification is
      accomplished by padding with spaces.

      The soft hyphen ("\-") backslash command can be used to
      break extra long words up into smaller segments so less
      spaces are needed to justify a line. For example, "dynamite"
      can be broken up into 3 sections: "dy\-na\- mite". Lines
      will also break at hard hyphens: "semi-detached".

      Proportionally spaced lines ("\P") cannot be right
      justified.

      This command turns off the no word wrap (".NW") and ragged
      right (".RR") modes.

    .NW  : NO WORD WRAP

      Default: disabled

      Text sent after this command will be printed literally and
      will not be right justified. This command turns off the word
      wrap (".WW") and ragged right (".RR") modes.

                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      To keep a table or chart from being automatically formatted,
      use the ".NW" command to turn off formatting. For example:

        .nw  disable formatting
         Qty     Code     Price     Total
         ---     ----     -----     -----
           1     3232     65.95     65.95
        .ww  enable formatting

    .RR  : RAGGED RIGHT MARGIN

      Default: disabled

      Format text, printing lines between the left and right
      margins, like ".WW", but don't right justify. This command
      turns off the word wrap (".WW") and no word wrap (".NW")
      modes.

    .LM x  : LEFT MARGIN

      x default: 1

      Set the left margin. This is the starting column for
      printing in both the word wrap, no word wrap and ragged
      right modes.

    .RM x  : RIGHT MARGIN

      x default: 80 (136 if "-+" command line option used)

      Set the right margin. No text will print beyond this column
      if the word wrap (".WW") or ragged right (".RR") modes are
      enabled.

    .EE x  : EXTRA GUTTER, EVEN PAGES

      x default: 0

      This value is added to both the left margin of your text and
      the left margin (column 1) of the headers and footers. In
      the case of even numbered pages, this value is often zero or
      negative to keep the text away from the center binding of a
      publication.

    .OE x  : EXTRA GUTTER, ODD PAGES

      x default: 0

      The same as ".EE" above, but for odd pages. This value is
      often positive.



                                 33








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    .TI x  : TEMPORARY INDENT

      x default: 0

      Indent x spaces for the start of the next line. This indent
      is added to the value of the left margin, not the left side
      of the paper. The current contents of the print buffer will
      be printed before the paper moves 1 line feed and the
      temporarily indented line is printed.

    .CE    : CENTER LINE

      Center the following line of text between the left and right
      margins. The line to be centered should be at the left margin,
      with no leading spaces. All fonts can be centered this way.

    .FP    : FORCE PRINTING

      Any characters in the print buffer will be printed, even if
      word wrap mode is enabled and the right margin has not been
      reached. You can use this command to empty the print buffer
      before changing the left or right margins. Otherwise the
      buffered text will print within the new margin settings.

    .LF x  : FORCE PAPER MOVEMENT

      x default: 1

      Move the paper x lines. If x is greater than the remaining
      lines on the current page, the paper will move to the top of
      the next page only. If you are already at the top of a new
      page, this command will have no effect.

    .ST   : STOP BEFORE PRINTING PAGE

      This command will cause IMAGEPRINT to pause between pages,
      so if you are printing on single sheets of paper, you can
      insert the next piece of paper in your printer before
      resuming printing. A prompt to "Press a key when ready" will
      appear on the screen.

    .!! \? : IMMEDIATE BACKSLASH EXECUTION

      This command causes the following backslash command,
      separated from ".!!" by zero or more spaces, to be acted on
      immediately. Only a single backslash command may follow a
      ".!!". The question mark represents the character(s)
      following the backslash.

      Suppose you want to print a document, including headers and
      footers, at 17.1 (compressed) characters per inch density,


                                 34








                           IMAGEPRINT Version 4
     --------------------------------------------------------------


      rather than the default 10 cpi density. Usually backslash
      commands, embedded in a line of text, are acted on as that
      line of text is printed. If you precede the first line of
      text in your document with "\<", by the time the first line
      of text prints, any headers will have already printed at 10
      cpi. To get around this, precede any printable text with
      ".!! \<".

    .. string : COMMENTS

      If the dot in column 1 is followed by another dot, separated
      from it by zero or more spaces, then the entire line is
      considered to be a comment line, and is ignored by
      IMAGEPRINT. For example:

        .. This is a comment line

    MAJOR ERROR MESSAGES

      ERROR - Input text contains non-printing characters

    The text file you want to print with IMAGEPRINT is not plain
    ASCII. It contains either hidden word processor information
    or printer control codes. Check your word processor's
    documentation for information on how to save your work as an
    ASCII (or "DOS") text file.

      ERROR - Font file not found or invalid: ????????

    Either the font file you specified is not on the currently
    active drive, or your FONTS environment string is incorrect
    (see Section "Installing ImagePrint") or the font file has
    been corrupted. If you don't specify a font, FONT1 (Cubic) is
    the default.

      ERROR - Input file not found: ????????

    Your text input file cannot be found. Make sure you have
    spelled the name correctly and included any possible file name
    extension.

      ERROR - tall character too near top of page

    Printing a character of this size would require IMAGEPRINT to
    move the paper in the printer backwards, so the character is
    ignored.

      ERROR - No graphics adapter detected

    You have selected preview mode with "-P" but IMAGEPRINT is
    unable to detect a graphics-capable video card. If, and only
    if, you do indeed have a Hercules, CGA, EGA or VGA system, then
    append the video card type letter to the "-P" command as
    outlined in the description of the command line method of using
    IMAGEPRINT.

      ERROR - Invalid backslash command: '\?'

    An unrecognizable backslash command has been found. The
    question mark above represents the erroneous character(s),
    which will be displayed on your screen.

      ERROR - Invalid dot formatting command: ??

    A recognizable IMAGEPRINT formatting command does not follow a
    dot (".") on a line. A line is considered to be a dot
    formatting command if the first printable character is a "."

      ERROR - Invalid command following '.!!' :  ??

    The string following ".!!" does not start with "\". Only
    backlash commands can follow the immediate execute command.

      ERROR - Double width active beyond word

    TECHNICAL NOTES

    The effective dot density of IMAGEPRINT is 216 dots per inch
    vertically by 240 dots per inch horizontally.

    IMAGEPRINT normally positions the print head 1/14 of an inch
    above the next print line. This is done so that unusually tall
    characters can print correctly. If you need exact paper
    positioning, just before running IMAGEPRINT position the top
    of the page slightly lower, relative to the print head, than
    you would otherwise, because the paper will move 1/14 of an
    inch before the first line is printed.

    IMAGEPRINT works by driving a printer in dot graphics mode.
    Printing an 80 column line of text means that about 6000 bytes
    are sent to a printer. If a transmission error occurs and a
    byte or two is lost, then the graphics byte count is wrong,
    and you can end up printing a lot of garbage. If this happens,
    wait for the printer to resynchronize with IMAGEPRINT. This
    shouldn't take more than 1 print pass.

    Just as on a standard dot matrix printer, the line graphics
    characters do not print correctly in half-high mode.

    If your ribbon is very "inky" (possibly from re-inking), then
    IMAGEPRINT may leave horizontal ink streaks on your paper. A
    possible solution to this problem is to widen the print head
    gap on your printer. Ordinarily this can be accomplished by
    setting a lever for multi-part forms (i.e., setting it as
    though you were using carbon paper to print several sheets at
    once).

    If your ribbon is very old, it may leave horizontal streaks
    because it is frayed.




                                 39








                               APPENDIX
     --------------------------------------------------------------


    If you print in draft mode, you should avoid using backslash
    commands for which your printer has no corresponding built-in
    function. For example, if a "\P" proportional spacing command
    is detected in the input text, then IMAGEPRINT will send
    ESCAPE "p" (std. Epson escape sequence) to your printer. If
    your printer isn't capable of proportional spacing and doesn't
    recognize the command, then the letter "p" may print.

    Some word processors don't add a line feed to the last line of
    a document. This can cause a problem because ImagePrint doesn't
    print a line until a line feed is reached. The solution is to
    add an extra blank line at the bottom of your document by
    pressing the <ENTER> key twice following the last line of text.


    THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES

    THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES include the latest versions of
    METATEXT and IMAGEPRINT, along with 25 fonts and a printed
    manual.

    Excerpts from press reviews:

      "I use only one RAM-resident utility, The IMAGE Printing
      Utilities, which give me near-laser-quality printing from my
      $200 dot-matrix printer."

           George Campbell, COMPUTE!'s PC Magazine

      "Inexpensive utilities that coax startling performance out
      of your 9-pin dot matrix printer."

           Jonathan Matzkin, PC Magazine

      "Metatext's characters differ from those bundled with
      NicePrint. They're much clearer; in fact they're as good as
      those printed on a 24-pin printer."

           PC Resource

      "The IMAGE Printing Utilities from IMAGE Computer Systems solves
      the dot matrix print quality problem. This wonderful set of
      programs gives your dot matrix printer letter quality print"

           James L. Yacavone III, Clearwater Newspapers, Inc.

      "I was astounded when it ran on a beat up Epson FX-100 at
      work, and it performed almost as well on the IBM Proprinter
      I use at home."

     --------------------------------------------------------------


    METATEXT Version 3 offers the same high quality printed output
    as IMAGEPRINT, but is much easier and simpler to use.
    METATEXT DOESN'T ALTER THE REGULAR OPERATION OF YOUR COMPUTER
    OR SOFTWARE IN ANY WAY. Basically, all you have to do is
    load METATEXT and then use your computer as you normally
    would.

    Once METATEXT has been loaded, it becomes part of your
    computer's operating system, automatically intercepting and
    enhancing data you send to your printer. You do not have to
    exit your word processor to print, as you do with IMAGEPRINT.
    You can toggle METATEXT on and off by using a user-selectable
    "Hot-Key" combination on your keyboard. No extra hardware is
    needed.

    METATEXT is designed to be compatible with word processors,
    data base programs, spreadsheets, etc. It is compatible with
    Lotus 123, Symphony, Word, WordStar, WordPerfect, Multimate,
    PC-Write etc., because it recognizes the control codes of an
    IBM or Epson printer. Metatext uses any standard font (FONT0
    through FONT15). Metatext won't use any headline font (FONT16
    through FONT24) for the following reason: The larger fonts
    take up much more room than word processors, etc. expect.
    Because Metatext is designed to be transparent in operation,
    it has to limit itself to fonts that can print at a standard
    10, 12 or 17 characters per inch density.

    Up to 8 fonts can be loaded with METATEXT, allowing instant
    font switching. When only one font is loaded, METATEXT takes
    up about 38K of RAM.

    THE IMAGE PRINTING UTILITIES cost $52.95, plus $3.00 shipping
    and handling. It comes with a no-questions-asked money-back
    guarantee.
