- PRINTPIC v1.02 John Elliott, 9 August 1993.
- ================================================================================
- PRINTPIC prints LOGO screens on an Epson-compatible dot-matrix printer, a
- bubblejet or a daisywheel. If you use Graphics Transfer other screens can be
- printed.
-
- How to print on a dot-matrix printer or bubblejet:
-
- Type PRINTPIC d:filename.pic {/L} {/M:m} {/B}
-
- Add a /B to the command only if you are using a bubblejet. The BJ-10e series
- will need to have the Alternate Graphics Mode (AGM) enabled.
- The /L option, if present, selects landscape (sideways) printing. The picture
- will take up one side of A4.
- The /M option selects the graphic mode used to print the picture. This should
- not be used with the 8256/8512/9256 matrix printers, but other printers may
- print a better picture with this option. For example, the Citizen 120D printer
- prints best with /M:7.
-
- How to print on a daisywheel (including 9512 daisywheel on DAISY setting):
-
- Type PRINTPIC d:filename.pic /C
-
- How to print on the 9512 daisywheel on MATRIX setting (or Epson-compatible
- printers which can't do graphics):
-
- Type PRINTPIC d:filename.pic /D
-
- After printing, the printer will pause. To continue, press [PTR], move the
- bar over 'Waiting for paper' and press [-] then [EXIT].
-
- I recommend that on the 9512 you use /D in preference to /C. The picture will
- be of better quality.
-
- On a daisywheel, the picture will take between 1¿ and 2⌐ hours to print. I
- recommend that you print on good quality paper as the 9512 printer is rather
- fierce and can cut its way through thin paper!
