Introduction ---------------------------------------------------------
PrintGF (Print Graphics Files) is a shareware image printer for DOS,
Windows, and Windows NT/95. It includes PrintGF/D, a DOS program
that can be run from the command line and BAT files or via menu,
PrintGF/W, and analogous program for Windows, and optionally,
PrintGF/D for Windows NT/95. It prints BMP, DCX, GIF, PCX, and PNG
files on Epson and IBM 9 pin printers, Epson, Fujitsu, IBM, NEC, and
Toshiba 24 pin printers, Canon BJ, BJC, and LBP printers, Epson
Stylus, Fargo Primera, HI JetPro, HP LaserJet, DeskJet, PaintJet,
and HP-RTL devices, IBM ExecJet and LaserPrinter, PostScript
printers, and others. It will also display on a CGA, EGA, HGC, VGA,
or VESA SVGA, and output DCX and PCX bit maps.
PrintGF includes an overlay (PRINTGF.OVR) and DLLs (PRINTGF.DLL,
PRINTGFN.DLL) that contain the AccuSoft Image Format Library
interpreter for DOS, Windows, and Windows NT/95. These external
interpreters read a number of image formats including BMP, DCX, GIF,
JPEG, PCX, TARGA, and TIFF. These files are not needed for reading
BMP, DCX, GIF, PCX, or PNG images. PRINTGF.DLL and PRINTGFN.DLL are
not included in the shareware version of PrintGF.
PrintGF transforms the bit map size and resolution to match the user
specified size and the native resolution of the output device. It
outputs 255 level dithered gray on black/white devices and 255 level
per plane dithered color on three plane (CMY or RGB) color devices
(giving 16.7 million colors). The dither pattern size and error
diffusion filter can be set to trade speed verses print quality.
The user options include picture area, print area and margins,
orientation and mirroring, dither type, brightness and contrast,
gamma, gray balance, hue shift blurring and sharpening, edge
smoothing, printer type, output destination, etc.

Installation ---------------------------------------------------------
The PrintGF package includes these files:
FILE_ID.DIZ standard description of package
PRINTGF.DLL AccuSoft Windows interpreter (registered copies only)
PRINTGF.DOC documentation
PRINTGF.FPR Fargo Primera, PrimeraPro, Pictura ROM code
PRINTGF.OVR AccuSoft DOS interpreter
PRINTGF.TXT initial information
PRINTGFD.EXE DOS program
PRINTGFN.DLL AccuSoft Windows NT/95 interpreter (optional)
PRINTGFN.EXE Windows NT/95 program
PRINTGFW.EXE Windows program
README.BAT displays the initial information file
To install PrintGF create a directory called PRINTGF, and copy or
unpack the distribution files into this directory. It is preferred
that the PRINTGF directory be in your DOS PATH.
To install PrintGF/W as an icon in the Windows Program Manager,
select File, then New, then program item to bring up the Program
Item Properties menu. Enter the item name - PrintGF/W, the command
line - C:\PRINTGF\PRINTGFW, and the working directory - wherever you
keep your image files. You can choose from three icons designed for
two, sixteen, and 32K color setups.
To install PrintGF/N or PrintGF/W as an icon on the Windows 95
desktop, click on Start, Find, Files or Folders, then enter
PRINTGFN.EXE or PRINTGFW.EXE. When the file is displayed below,
right button click on the icon, and then click on Create Shortcut,
and Yes. After the shortcut has been created, you can set the Start
In directory and icon by right button clicking on the icon and
modifying the shortcut properties.
PRINTGF.TXT is initial information and PRINTGF.DOC is the
documentation. You can view these files from DOS by running
README.BAT or from PrintGF by pressing F1. While viewing them, you
can print pages or the entire file. Press T repeatedly until the
correct setup is displayed and then press P. Or from DOS, "COPY
PRINTGF.TXT PRN" to print the entire file.
p-6
Operation ------------------------------------------------------------
When working with DCX, PCX, and flat GIF and PNG files, printed in
portrait orientation, without vertical mirroring, PrintGF reads a
the file and prints simultaneously. Interlaced GIF and PNG files,
landscape prints, vertically mirrored DCX, GIF, PCX, and PNG prints,
BMP prints that are not vertically mirrored, and images read by the
AccuSoft IFL image interpreter require PrintGF to read the entire
file into XMS memory and then print it, so there is a delay between
startup and printing.
Esc stops PrintGF at the next good break point, leaving the printer
ready for new data. Ctrl-B stops PrintGF as quickly as possible. You
generally need to do a printer reset after a Ctrl-B.
When you display an image, press Enter or Esc to return to the DOS
text screen, any of the four cursor movement keys to scroll across
the image, PgDn to magnify, PgUp to reduce, R to redraw the screen,
or S to cycle between full, half (the default), quarter, and eighth
page scrolling.
Print quality and print speed are predominantly affected by the
output format (/F or "output format") and quality option (/Q or
"print quality"). Color and gray level are predominantly affected by
the brightness (/B), contrast (/C), image gamma (/U), gamma
correction (/Z), and gray balance (/Y) (all on the "color
correction" menu). Look at these options to correct any such
problems.
PrintGF works within a printer's current margins and starts at the
current vertical print position. If you decline the form feed option
(/L or "form feed") then PrintGF leaves the printer at the start of
the line directly below the image.
PrintGF will not automatically change a printer's operating mode. On
multimode printers, the right operating mode must be set before
running PrintGF or with the prefix code (/J) option.
p-7
Syntax ---------------------------------------------------------------
PrintGF can be run from the command line (DOS or Windows) using
various options to tell it what to do. And it can be started with no
options to bring up a menu system. The menu options have
corresponding command line options, so the two forms of options will
be described together. The menu options are noted by the menu name
in quotes followed by the menu choice in quotes, for example
"page/area" "image page number:".
From the command line, the calling syntax is:
PRINTGFD imagefile /option1 /option2 ...
PRINTGFW imagefile /option1 /option2 ...
Spaces between parameters are not required. The image file may be
specified with the /G option if it is inconvenient to make it the
first parameter.
If a given option is entered more than once, only the last entry is
used. And if an option is invalid (but not incorrect), it is
ignored.
When run from the command line, PrintGF uses the current menu
options as the default, so if you have the menu set up as desired,
you can run PRINTGFW imagefile from the command line and avoid going
through the menu to select the image file.
Below, [ and ] enclose optional suboptions and | separates mutually
exclusive suboptions. The options and suboptions may be in any order
except that multiple numeric suboptions are ordered and numeric
suboptions must follow character suboptions where the characters may
be digits. "c" refers to a suboption character, "w", "x", "y", and
"z" to suboption numbers, "i", "j", "k", and "l" to suboption
integers, "b" to a suboption byte, and "f" to a DOS file or device
name.
For numbers (w, x, y, z), a decimal point is allowed but is not
required, and scientific notation is not allowed. "-" is allowed but
not "+". For integer input (i, j, k, l), only base ten integers from
-32768 to 32767 are allowed. "+" is not allowed. A byte (b) must be
a base ten integer from 0 to 255 or a hexadecimal number prefixed
with $ from $00 to $FF. Further range checking is done for most
options to flag unreasonable input. If an option has multiple
numeric suboptions, these may be separated with commas or blanks.
p-8
Overview of Options --------------------------------------------------
PrintGF's options fall into four categories. The first is input and
output choices. The input is chosen with /G, the image file, /N, the
image page number, and /A, the area of the image to be printed.
Output options are /F, the output format (printer model), and /D,
the destination port, device, or file.
The second category is the page layout. /L controls the size and
location of the print window and the option to not send a form feed.
The third category defines how the image is processed. /B and /C set
the brightness and contrast. /Q sets the dither type, edge
smoothing, and blur level. /Y sets the gray balance and /U and /Z
set gamma color correction. /E specifies the image interpreter.
/X sets all of the user interface options and /1, /2, /3, /4, and /5
choose one of the menu setups as the command line default.
/1, /2, /3, /4, /5 - Default Options ---------------------------------
These command line options select a configuration from the menu to
be used as the default. This option must match the first character
of the title of one of the five menu configurations.
/A - Area Option -----------------------------------------------------
/A[A][L][M][V][S]w,x,y[,z] - image area - default /A50,50,100
"page/area" "image area: "
"page/area" "landscape: "
"page/area" "mirror horizontally: "
"page/area" "mirror vertically: "
"page/area" "stretch to fit window: "
/A specifies the area of the image to be printed. This is a
rectangle, defined by its center, width, and height. The center is
set as the percent distance from the left and top of the picture to
the center of the area (0..100). The width is set as a percentage of
the picture width (0..100). The height may be set as a percentage of
the picture height (0..100) or defaulted to the same percentage as
the width. The center point will be adjusted to insure that the
entire width and height are on the picture.
The A suboption lets you specify the area in pixels - distance from
the upper left corner, width, and height.
The L suboption specifies landscape orientation. M says to mirror
the image horizontally. V says to mirror the image vertically. These
may be combined to turn the image upside down. S says to stretch the
picture to fill the print window.
/A50,50,100 the default, prints the entire picture
/A25,75,50 prints the lower left hand quarter of the picture
/A25,90,20 is adjusted to 25,80,20 so the area fits
p-9
/B, /C - Brightness, Contrast Options --------------------------------
/Bi[,j[,k]] - brightness - default /B50
/Ci[,j[,k]] - contrast - default /C50
"color correction" "brightness: "
"color correction" "contrast: "
PrintGF modifies each image color based on the /B and /C options.
These numbers can be specified overall or for each color plane
(RGB). They are applied before any conversion to black/white.
The brightness number specifies the output level (%) at an input
level of 50%. 50, the default, leaves the brightness unchanged.
The contrast number specifies the difference in output level at
input level 100% verses input level 50%. 50 is the default and it
leaves the contrast unchanged.
Output levels clip at 0% and 100%. If the brightness plus contrast
total 100 or less then you will not clip any colors at the top. If
the brightness minus the contrast is 0 or above then you will not
clip any colors at the bottom.

/D - Output Destination Option ---------------------------------------
/D[*][+]f - destination - default /D1
"destination"
The D option specifies the output printer port, device, or file. The
+ suboption causes files to be appended rather than overwritten. 1,
2, and 3 select the BIOS printer routines. P1..P3 select direct
parallel port drive - add extension 001 to 999 (for example P1.010)
to slow the function of the port for compatibility with older
printers. X1..X4 select xon/xoff serial port drive. H1..H4 select
hardware (RTS/CTS) serial port drive. W selects the Windows print
manager (PrintGF/W and PrintGF/N only). You can also use the DOS
devices LPT1, COM1, etc. /D is ignored for display output.
PrintGF cannot set up the serial ports. This is usually done in the
AUTOEXEC.BAT with MODE (probably MODE COM1:9600,N,8,1,P).
If you choose a three digit number for the file extension (for
example .000), and multiple pages are output then, instead of
appending the destination file, additional files are created with
sequential extensions. If you specify *, then the extension is
incremented to avoid overwriting existing files.
/E - Image Interpreter -----------------------------------------------
/E[A|N] - image interpreter - default /E
"interpreter"
The /E option selects the image interpreter. N selects the native
interpreter, for BMP, DCX, GIF, PCX, and PNG. A selects the AccuSoft
Image Format Library contained in PRINTGF.OVR (DOS) or PRINTGF.DLL
(Windows, registered copies only), for BMP, DCX, GIF, JPEG, PCX,
TARGA, and TIFF. The default is to try the native interpreter and if
it cannot interpret the image then to try the AccuSoft IFL.
When using the AccuSoft IFL, images are loaded into XMS memory
before processing. 24 bit images require three bytes per pixel for
the entire original image. For a 1024x768 image this is 2.25 Meg.
p-11
/F - Output Format Option --------------------------------------------
/Fc[%][-|+|*|^][!|¡][~|`[`]][}][w[,x][,y,z]] - output format - /FV`
"output format"
"print quality" "interleave bands: "
"print quality" "Primera heat (1..96): "
"other output" "h,v size multiplier: "
The F option specifies the output format. -, +, *, and ^ are
resolution modifiers, ! and ¡ select compression levels, ~ turns off
color processing, ` switches to four plane color (where this is an
option), and } selects interleave mode. A second ` switches to
combination black processing - true black wherever all adjacent
pixels are black or white and mixed black (CMY) everywhere else.
This is for printers that have black ink that bleeds into color ink.
% (or \) selects a different driver.
For HP-RTL, PCX/DCX, and PostScript (/F0, /FZ, /FS) you can append
the resolution. For the Primeras (/F8, /FY) you can append the heat
setting (1..96). For VESA high resolution (/FV^, /FU^) you can
append screen dimensions for any supported VESA mode.
You can append horizontal and vertical resize factors, from .5 to
2.0, to correct for print size error. For example, a printer under
indexes so that a 6 inch high box comes out 5.94 inches. Using
1,1.01 removes the error (5.94x1.01 = 6.0).
Each driver has a default level of data compression, chosen for best
compatibility. Many drivers have an optional level of compression,
chosen with !, that will be incompatible with some printers. Some
drivers let you turn compression off with ¡ (ASCII 173).

/G - Image File Option -----------------------------------------------
/Gf - image file - no default
"image file"
The image file may be specified as the first parameter with no
prefix, or it may be specified anywhere in the option list with /G.
When the image file name is SHADE4 to SHADE256 (with no path or
extension), PrintGF generates data internally giving a color scale
with 4 to 256 steps. This is useful for setting the gamma color
correction and gray balance correction.
/I - Intermediate File Option ----------------------------------------
/I[f] intermediate output file - default /I
"other output" "intermediate file: "
/I lets you specify an intermediate file for data output. During
processing all print data is sent to this file. Then the file is
copied to the destination. This is only effective for destinations
1..3, H1..H4, P1..P3, and X1..X4 (direct drive devices). It is
useful when the device requires continuous, fast data flow.
/J, /K - Printer Code Prefix, Suffix Options -------------------------
/J[b,b,..|+f] - printer code prefix - default /J
/K[b,b,..|+f] - printer code suffix - default /K
"other output" "prefix codes: "
"other output" "suffix codes: "
/J lets you send codes to the printer before PrintGF's usual data is
sent and /K lets you send codes after PrintGF's usual data is sent.
This lets you set up and reset the printer for special situations.
The codes are specified with byte values, ASCII or hex prefixed with
$ (0..255 or $0..$FF) separated with blanks or commas. Or you can
specify a file, prefixed with +.
/J27,69 does a printer reset on HP-PCL printers
p-15
/L - Page Layout Option ----------------------------------------------
/L[N][R][x,y[,x,y]]] - page layout - default /L8,6,0,0
"window/margins"
"other window" "round window width to 8 pixels: "
"other output" "form feed: "
The L option defines the page layout.
N turns form feeds off. It is ignored for PCX and display output.
R causes the print window width to be rounded to a multiple of eight
pixels.
The first optional x and y are the print window width and height in
inches, which is the output image size. If you specify 0,0 then the
image is printed at a 1/1 pixel input/output ratio (this forces
/AS).
The second optional x and y are the left and top margins, measured
from the printer's left margin and current vertical position to the
print window. Margins are measured from the bottom left for
PostScript. Margins are ignored for PCX output.
THE PRINT WINDOW PLUS THE MARGINS MUST FIT WITHIN THE PRINTABLE AREA
OF THE PRINTER.
/L8,4,0,1 print window 8x4, margins 0,1
/N - Page Number Option ----------------------------------------------
/N[i] - page number - default /N1
"page/area" "image page (blank for all): "
The /N option specifies the image page number to print. If no number
is specified then all pages are processed.
/N3 prints page 3
/P - Saturation Increase Option --------------------------------------
/P[i] - saturation increase - default /P0
/P lets you increase the color saturation (decrease the gray
component) to produce more colorful prints. The parameter can be
from 0 to 100. Using this option can increase processing time
significantly on 24 bit images.
p-16
/Q - Print Quality Options -------------------------------------------
/Q[1|2|4|8] - print quality - default /Q1R
[F|P|Q|R|S|X]
[C|E][A|D|O]
[H|I|J|K|T|U|V|W]
"print quality" "dither pattern: "
"print quality" "error diffusion: "
"print quality" "edge smoothing: "
"print quality" "bias Black, Color, Dyn, Off: "
"print quality" "sharpen(-4..-1) / blur(1..4): "
The 1, 2, 4, and 8 suboptions specify the dither pattern cell size.
With 1 each output dot is treated as one dot internally with shade
levels 0 or 1. With 2, 4, and 8 output dots are grouped in 2x2, 4x4,
and 8x8 cells with shade levels 0..4, 0..16, and 0..64. Larger cell
sizes are faster and smaller cell sizes gives better edge
definition. The default is 1.
For the 256+ color VGA modes, the Primeras in Photo-Realistic mode,
and PostScript 8/24 bit mode the output devices are multi-level and
the dither pattern cell size is always 1.
Regardless of the dither pattern, the output shade levels are
dithered to 0..255, 0..248, 0..240, or 0..192 via error diffusion.
Five error diffusion filters are available. The Floyd-Steinberg
filter is selected with suboption F. The Stucki filter is selected
with S. A special filter, labeled Ravitz, is selected with R (the
default). The Ravitz filter with 50% random noise added into the
weights is selected with P (Perturbed). And the Floyd-Steinberg
filter with 50% random noise is selected with Q.
The Stucki filter is replaced with the perturbed F-S filter when you
are using RGBI color (RGBI is used only with 16 color displays and
bit maps with a dither pattern of 1).
You can turn off error diffusion with the X suboption.
Edge smoothing, specified with the C or E suboption, is done by
scaling the bit map by contour interpolation rather than color/area
summing. This gives improved edge smoothness, with a reduction is
color accuracy. The use of smoothing is limited to situations where
the output bit map size is at least twice the input bit map size. C
uses four point interpolation and E uses 12 point interpolation.
H, I, J, and K provide four levels of sharpening and T, U, V, and W
provide four levels of blurring, applied to the input image.
Normally the dithering for two level output is biased toward using
black dots. You can turn this off with the O suboption and you can
set the bias to color dots with A. Black bias tends to produce a
sharper picture and color bias tends to produce a more colorful
picture. D selects a dynamic bias where black bias is used at low
luminosity and color bias is used at high luminosity.
See Dithering for more information on PrintGF's dithering options.
p-17
/R - Override Aspect Ratio Option ------------------------------------
/R[G|x] - aspect ratio - default /R
"page/area" "override aspect ratio: "
This option says to ignore the aspect ratio of the bit map's pixels,
and use the value given or PrintGF's best guess (G suboption). This
can be used to stretch a bit map or to correct a problem in the bit
map or interpretation of the bit map.
/R.833 sets the right aspect ratio for most 320x200 bit maps
/S - Hue Shift Option ------------------------------------------------
/S[[i],i,i,i,i,i] - default /S
"color correction" "rygcbm shift: "
This option shifts the hue of the image colors based on user
specified shift values for red, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and
magenta (in order). These colors are separated by 40 so using 40 for
the red value shifts red to yellow and -40 shifts red to magenta. If
you specify just one value then it covers the entire spectrum.
These numbers must form a function that spans 0..240 with a
non-negative slope.
Using this option can slow the processing of 24 bit images
significantly because the shift is calculated for each pixel.
/U - Image Gamma Correction Option -----------------------------------
/U[x] image gamma correction - default /U1
"color correction" "image gamma: "
Many images are created at a gamma of 2 to improve the color
resolution in the bright half of the color levels. Other images may
be gamma corrected for a specific output device. /U lets you
uncorrect these images by specifying the gamma that they were
created at. For example /U2 corrects an image created at gamma 2.
This correction is applied to the input image.
/X - User Interface Option -------------------------------------------
/X[B][O][P][S] - interface options - default /X
"other output" "pause to load paper:"
The X option sets various interface options. P causes a pause before
each printed page. S suppresses extra information messages. B
suppresses progress messages. O removes file overwrite prompts.
/XS gives only the most important messages
p-18
/W - Output Screen Option --------------------------------------------
/W[x] - output screen - /W0 or /W50
"color correction" "screen: "
/W screens the output by the specified percentage. Some printers
overprint severely so that, for example, a fifty percent shade
prints solid. Gamma correction cannot compensate for this, but a
linear screen will help. The Epson Stylus Color 720 dpi driver
defaults to a 50% screen and all others default to no screen.
/Y - Gray Balance Correction Option ----------------------------------
/Y[H|R][x,y,z] - gray balance - default /Y1,1,1
"color correction" "gray balance (c,m,y): "
"color correction" "gray balance type (H|R): "
/Y lets you do gray balancing to compensate for printers that use a
cyan, magenta, yellow ink mix to produce an non-neutral black. The
three numbers represent the fraction of cyan, magenta, and yellow
ink to use to get a neutral black. H specifies HP's suggested
compensation for the HP DeskJet 500C printer. R specifies
compensation on the black component of each color, without regard to
the total non-black range.
/YR1,1,1 is the default and does no gray balancing
/YH.67,1,1 is HP's recommended value for the HP DeskJet 500C
p-19
/Z - Output Gamma Correction Option ----------------------------------
/Zw[,x,y[,z]] - gamma correction - default /Z.5, /Z1, or /Z1.5
"color correction" "gamma correction (r,g,b): "
This option specifies the use of the gamma shade level transfer
function that corrects for typical printer nonlinearity. The value
may be specified for overall red, green, and blue (one number), for
independent red, green, and blue (three numbers) or for independent
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black (four numbers). A value of 1.0
gives a linear response. Values from 0.1 to 1.0 increase the
brightness of the output. The default is 1 for any high color
devices (more that 1 bit per plane), 0.5 for other printers, and 1.5
for 2, 16, and 256 color displays.

Menu -----------------------------------------------------------------
PrintGF includes a menu interface to let you select options, choose
a list of image files, and print. Run PRINTGFD, PRINTGFW, or
PRINTGFN with no command line parameters to bring up the menu.
The main menu is displayed at the top of the screen, and the bottom
of the screen is used differently for each main menu item. The main
menu is divided by column into five groups, described below. The
functions of the menu items are described in detail above.
When the cursor is on a main menu item, the current state of the
submenu is displayed below. To change the submenu, press Enter. The
items are modified with cursor movement and typing numbers/names.
Enter returns you to the main menu with the new values. Esc returns
you to the main menu with the option values unchanged.
The PrintGF documentation can be viewed by pressing F1 from any menu
that displays F1 on its key line.
If one of the first two letters of a main menu item is capitalized,
that item may be accessed immediately by pressing the letter.
When a cursor bar has a notch, the value in the notch may be edited.
Menu Specific Functions ----------------------------------------------
The first column of main menu options is dedicated to menu
functions. These include running PrintGF, alternate configurations,
exit, saving the configurations, and set menu options.
The "Alt config" item rotates between five configurations. The
current configuration name is on line 2. Menu items that begin with
* are the same for every configuration.
The "save configs" item saves the current menu configurations to an
INI file (or optionally the EXE file). Only the first nine lines in
the plotfile list are saved. You can copy the EXE file to a
different name and it will have its own configurations and INI file.
The "menu config" item lets you set the configuration name, the
colors, and choose INI or EXE saves. Screen colors are specified
with the mnemonics listed here:
k black r red k+ gray r+ bright red
b blue m magenta b+ bright blue m+ bright magenta
g green y yellow/brown g+ bright green y+ bright yellow
c cyan w white c+ bright cyan w+ bright white
For PrintGF/W and PrintGF/N you can also use - and * as color
modifiers. These are only effective with 15, 16, or 24 bit color
setups. To use the default Windows colors, blank out the desired
line of colors.
For PrintGF/W and PrintGF/N you can choose the font height, selected
from "fixedsys" fonts, VGAFIX (15), and 8514FIX (20).
p-21
Menu Input and Picture Quality Options -------------------------------
Column two of the main menu lets you choose the image files to print
(the /G option in PrintGF), the image page number (/N) and picture
area/mode (/A), the image interpreter (/E), print quality (/F} -
band interleaving, /Q - quality) and color correction (/B -
brightness, /C- contrast, /U - image gamma correction, /Z - output
gamma correction, /Y - gray balance, /W - screen, /S - hue shift,
and /P - saturation increase).
You may enter up to 99 image files in the "image file" main menu
option. Each file may be preceded by a repetition count from 2 to 5.
To choose from a list of files, enter a mask name and press Enter
(the cursor must be on the mask). The menu will then display a list
of corresponding files. Select any number of the files by moving the
cursor to the desired file and pressing Space (or the right mouse
button). Consecutive presses increment the repetition count. If no
files have been selected, then pressing Enter selects the file under
the cursor. The selected files are added to the file list below the
cursor. Files that would overflow the 99th position are dropped.
Directories are shown at the top of file lists and are designated by
a trailing \. If you select a directory (repetition counts are not
allowed), then you can use that to display a new file list. This is
handy for navigating a disk to search for image files.
The first nine plotfiles are saved when you do a "save configs".
When you "Run PrintGF", PrintGF is run for each file in the image
file list. Masks are ignored. For any files that PrintGF does not
successfully process, an arrow is inserted in front of the file
name. You can view the results from the "image file" main menu item.
The arrow is not considered part of the file name, so you do not
need to remove it to retry PrintGF.
Menu Output Options --------------------------------------------------
The third column of options specifies the destination (/D), output
format (/F), and other output options (/LF - form feed, /XP - pause
to load paper, /J prefix codes, and /K suffix codes).
In the output format menu, printers that support color have a color
option ("clr:" on the menu). This lets you specify black/white
output (N), CMY or RGB color (Y), CMYK or RGBI color (F) for some
formats, and CMY with combination K/CMY (C) black for some printers.
Menu Window and Margins ----------------------------------------------
The fourth column of main menu options includes "window/margins" and
"other window", which let you specify the print area and its
position on the paper (/L - page layout).
Menu Other Options ---------------------------------------------------
Other options are in column five. "other" lets you turn off upper
memory block use and enter command line options to override anything
on the menu. At the bottom of column five are the auto run options.
p-22
Menu Auto Run Mode ---------------------------------------------------
The lower right corner of the menu includes "auto opts" and "auto
run". In auto run mode, the disk is continually searched for new
files that match the mask or file specified in "auto opts". Whenever
one is found, PrintGF is run on that file. This is useful with
multitasking systems such as DESQview and Windows. Run PrintGF's
auto run mode and switch it to the background. Then you can output
files and they will be printed automatically.
The auto run mask may include the # character. This is the same as
?, but when a file matches the mask the character that matches the #
selects the PrintGF configuration - 1..5 selects configurations 1..5
and anything else selects the current configuration. The first
character of the configuration title must be 1..5 to match the
selected configuration.
Auto run mode uses one of two ways of choosing new files (specified
under "auto opts"). The first is by time/date stamp. In this mode it
will only catch files that have a time/date stamp that is later than
when auto run mode was started and is later than the last file
processed in auto run mode. The file with the earliest time/date
stamp is processed first. Copying a file does not change its
time/date stamp, so copying a file to the auto run mask will not
cause it to be seen as a new file.
The second way is by archive bit. When auto run mode is started, any
file that matches the mask and has its archive bit set will be
processed, regardless of when it was created. The file with the
earliest time/date stamp is processed first. After it is chosen, its
archive bit is unset so that it will not be chosen again. This lets
you copy files to the auto run mask to print them.
p-23
Large Paper ----------------------------------------------------------
PrintGF can handle printing on paper larger than the usual 8.5x11,
but this takes some extra work. First you need to increase PrintGF's
print window to cover the large paper. This is done with the /L
option. The print window plus the margins must fit within the
printer's printable area.
And then you must make sure that your printer recognizes the larger
paper height. For continuous forms paper this is best done by
setting skip perforation to off, either by printer switch or with
PrintGF prefix codes. For Canon, Epson, Fujitsu, IBM, and NEC line
printers (dot matrix, ink jet, thermal) use /J27 79, or "modify
output" "prefix codes: 27 79".
For cut sheet paper, on Canon (except BJ native mode), Epson,
Fujitsu, IBM, and NEC line printers use /J27 67 0 n, where n is the
page length in inches. For the PDP ProTracer use /J27 67 n, where n
is the page length in lines, at six lines per inch.
And for some printers you need to increase the right margin. For the
Canon BJC in Epson mode use /J27 81 114. For the HI V50/100 in
printer mode use /J27 91 88 2 0 1 255.
For page printers, legal size paper may be specified with these
printer code prefixes: HP-PCL printers /J27 38 108 51 65 (/K27 38
108 50 65 to reset to letter), Canon LBP /J27 91 51 50 59 59 112
(/K27 91 51 48 59 59 112 to reset), IBM LaserPrinter /J27 91 70 5 0
3 1 2 1 (/J27 91 70 5 0 3 1 1 1 to reset).
To get a 10x16 print window on 11x17 paper with a Canon, Epson,
Fujitsu, IBM, or NEC line printer, use these options: /L10 16 0 .25
/J27 67 0 17. You will probably need to adjust the margins (0 .25)
for best centering.
The maximum width of the print window on most narrow carriage
printers is 8. The maximum print window width on most wide carriage
printers is 13.6. The horizontal margin should be set to 0 to get
this width.
p-24
Dithering ------------------------------------------------------------
Dithering is the process of reducing the 0..255 shade per plane
color of the input bit map to the 0..1 shade per plane color of the
output. There is no exact way to do this - edge or color definition
will be lost and artifacts of the dithering process will be visible
in the output. Because of this, PrintGF offers a wide range of
dithering options, specified by the /Q option.
PrintGF starts the dithering process using a pattern dither. The
output dots are divided into groups and each group is set from a
pattern that gives various levels of color. The pattern can be 8x8
dots giving 0..64 shades per plane (chosen with the 8 suboption),
4x4 dots giving 0..16 shades (4), 2x2 giving 0..4 shades (2), and
1x1 giving shades 0 and 1 (1, the default).
Each of the pattern dithers is enhanced by error diffusion dithering
that extends the color levels to 0..255 (1x1), 0..248 (2x2), 240
(4x4), or 0..192(8x8) levels per plane. The error diffusion can be
done via the Floyd-Steinberg filter (F suboption), the Stucki filter
(S), a special filter labeled Ravitz (R - the default), or the
Ravitz or Floyd-Steinberg filter with 50% random perturbation of the
weights (suboption P or Q) (as suggested by Robert Ulichney in
Digital Halftoning), or it can be turned off (X). The Ravitz filter
diffuses error only to immediate neighbors, like Floyd-Steinberg,
but has directional properties close to Stucki's.
Ravitz x 6 Floyd-Steinberg x 7 Stucki x 8 4
3 6 1 3 5 1 2 4 8 4 2
1 2 4 2 1
For output devices that support more than on/off color levels, all
dithering is done via error diffusion. 256 color displays are
treated as 0..5 level and dithered to 0..255. 256 level monochrome
displays and 15/16 bit color displays (hi color) are treated as
0..31 level and dithered to 0..248. 24 bit color (true color)
displays and PostScript in 8/24 bit mode are treated as 0..255 level
and not dithered. The Fargo Primera and PrimeraPro in
Photo-Realistic mode are multi-level devices dithered to 0..255.
The 8x8 pattern dither gives the best color, the fewest unexpected
dithering artifacts (the pattern is always visible but is not
obtrusive), the fastest processing, and the worst edge definition.
This is likely to be the best choice for high resolution devices.
The 1x1 pattern dither gives the best edge definition and the
slowest processing. The error diffusion does all of the dithering in
this case so the choice of filter is important. The order of fastest
to slowest filters is F-S, Ravitz, Stucki, and Perturbed. The order
of fewest to most visual artifacts is the reverse. The 1x1 pattern
is generally the best choice for low resolution devices and for
pictures that require sharp edges such as text and line drawings.
The 2x2 and 4x4 patterns are in the middle of the 1x1 and 8x8
patterns on all of the attributes and should be tried to determine
their usefulness.
p-25
Blurring and Sharpening ----------------------------------------------
Blurring and Sharpening are done at the image level (prior to
rescaling) and are useful for bringing out detail (sharpening) and
smoothing over digitization artifacts (blurring).
This is specified with the H..K and T..W suboptions of /Q. These add
(sharpen) or subtract (blur) the noted filter mulitplied by .25, .5,
.75, or 1. Sharpening may be very useful in combination with edge
smoothing.
H..K,T..W -3 -5 -3
filter -5 32 -5
-3 -5 -3
Output Gamma Color Correction ----------------------------------------
Printers typically overprint the area of a dot, for example a
nominal 1/300 inch square dot might be printed as a 1.2/300 inch
diameter circle, giving an additional area of 13%. So dithered shade
levels composed of single dots will be 13% too dark. Shade levels
composed of multiple connected dots will also be too dark, but by
less than 13%. Solid white and solid black will exact.
The gamma function is a general correction for this behavior. The
function is g(x,gamma)=255*((x/255)^gamma) for 0..255 level additive
color. For gamma above 1 the function describes an overprinting
situation. Using 1/gamma exactly reverses the function, so if a
printer's gamma is 1.5 then it is corrected by using 1/1.5 = .67.
The preferred gamma correction will be different for the different
dither pattern sizes. The 8x8 pattern will likely need much less
gamma correction that the 1x1 pattern.
When specifying gamma independently for cyan, magenta, yellow, and
black PrintGF uses g(x,gamma)=255-255*(((255-x)/255)^gamma). This is
so that cyan, magenta, yellow correction is the same as red, green,
blue correction if black gamma is 1 (/Z.6,.7,.8 is the same as
/Z.6,.7,.8,1)
When the image file name is SHADE4 to SHADE256 (no path or
extension), PrintGF generates data internally giving a color scale
with 4 to 256 steps. Set up the gamma correction to make this scale
look best.
Watch out for precorrected images. These may requires much less
gamma correction than usual or see /U - Image Gamma Correction
Option to compensate.
p-26
Color Processing -----------------------------------------------------
Color graphics devices use a variety of color technologies. PrintGF
supports these basic types.
CMY or cyan/magenta/yellow is used by inkjet and dot matrix
printers. This uses three color planes and gives eight pure colors.
Even when black ink is available, using CMY processing may give more
consistent colors than CMYK. Good gray balance values are critical
with CMY color.
CMYK or cyan/magenta/yellow/black is used by inkjet and dot matrix
printers. This uses four color planes and gives eight pure colors.
Using black ink instead of a cyan/magenta/yellow mix gives a more
neutral and darker black color. CMY is used by default over CMYK in
general. CMYK can be selected with the ` suboption of /F or "clr: F"
on the output format line.
RGB or red/green/blue is used by PostScript and Windows drivers,
including fifteen and twenty-four bit modes. This uses three color
planes and gives eight pure colors or more for high/true color
modes.
RGBI or red/green/blue/intensity is used by displays and bit maps.
This uses four color planes to give fifteen pure colors. RGBI can be
selected with the ` suboption of /F or or "clr: F" on the output
format line.
Limits, Compatibility, and Technical Information ---------------------
For 8 and 24 bit images PrintGF will handle widths of up to 4096
pixels. For 1 and 4 bit images it will handle up to 8192 pixels. For
color output devices it supports a width of up to 7200 pixels times
the dither pattern size. For monochrome output devices it supports
up to 21600.
PrintGF will run on any IBM compatible system with MS-DOS 3.0 or
above. MS-DOS 3.3 or later is recommended. It requires up to 384K of
free memory. XMS memory, available from HIMEM, QEMM, 386MAX or other
memory managers, is required for interlaced GIF and PNG files,
vertically mirrored DCX, GIF, PCX, and PNG prints, BMP prints that
are not vertically mirrored, landscape mode printing, and AccuSoft
IFL use.
PrintGF/W is an MS Windows 3.1 program and requires a 286 computer.
PrintGF/N is an MS Windows NT/95 program for IBM compatible systems.
PrintGF was written by Cary Ravitz and compiled with Borland Pascal
7.01 and Delphi 2.0. PRINTGF.OVR is compiled with Borland Turbo C++

Output Devices (Displays, Printers, Plotters, Bit Maps, Fax) ---------
Canon BJ and BJC Printers ------------------------------------------
PrintGF has five basic drivers for Canon BJ and BJC printers. /F7
is the IBM mode driver. It works with the BJ130e, BJ5,
BJ10/10e/10ex, BJ20, BJ200/230, and BJ300/330.
/FJ is the BJ130 mode driver. It works with all Canon BJ printers
in IBM or native mode. The printer is set to 10 pitch text.
/FB is the Epson mode driver. It works with the BJ200/230 and
BJC800/820. Color is supported. For the BJC800/820 the prefix code
27 81 114 sets the print width to 11.4 inches.
/F& is the native mode driver. It works with the BJ200/230 and
BJC800/820 in any mode. Color is supported. Epson/IBM mode prefix
codes are not compatible and are not needed. Always use form feed
with the BJ native driver unless you have previously set BJ native
mode. Interleave mode is not available with this driver.
/F@ is the CaPSL mode driver for the BJC880. Color is supported.
Some of these printers have an image density option (DIP switch
and/or front panel switch). Low density eliminates every second
dot. To get the full 360 dpi resolution, use high density.
Canon LBP Printers -------------------------------------------------
/FD works with any Canon LBP 4 and 8 printers that do not have the
SX or 30 suffix. If the printer is in Diablo mode, it is switched
to ISO mode.
The ! suboption switches to CaPSL 4 data compression. /FD+! is the
best driver for the LBP 8 Mk4 at 600 dpi.
You might need to set up the printer with /J27 59 27 91 50 38 122.
To switch back to Diablo mode on completion, use /K27 58.
Any Canon LBP printer with the SX or 30 suffix is an HP-PCL
printer and should use the /FI drivers.
p-28
Display ------------------------------------------------------------
When you display an image, the cursor keys scroll the plot, S
cycles between full, half (the default), quarter, and eighth page
scrolling, R redraws the screen, PgDn and PgUp magnify and reduce
by 1.4, and Enter or Esc returns to DOS.
Regardless of the size of your monitor, PrintGF acts as if it is
eight inches wide.
/FC drives a CGA, but does not give color.
The EGA drivers, /FE and /FM, require a 128K or 256K EGA. /FC will
work with a 64K EGA. /FM is for an EGA card with a digital (TTL)
monochrome monitor.
/FH supports the Hercules monochrome graphics card.
/FV works with any VGA card. For MCGAs use /FV~.
/FV+, /FV*, and /FV^ use VESA SVGA 800x600, 1024x768, and
1280x1024 16 color modes. You can add screen dimensions to /FV^ to
access other VESA 16 color modes, for example /FV^640,400.
The /FU drivers use 256 or greater color modes to give 0..5,
0..31, or 0..255 level per plane color or 0..31 level monochrome.
The processing resolution option is ignored for these drivers.
/FU- drives any VGA at 320x200. /FU, /FU+, /FU*, and /FU^ use
640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, and 1280x1024 VESA SVGA modes. All of
these drivers first look for a 24 bit (8r,8g,8b) color mode, then
a 15 or 16 bit (5r,5g,5b or 5r,6g,5b) color mode, and then an 8
bit (256 color palette) color mode, using the best mode that it
finds at the specified resolution. You can add screen dimensions
to /FU^ to access other VESA modes, for example /FU^640,400.
The Windows display drivers (/FV%, /FU%) do not use the resolution
modifier, and instead set the resolution to the screen width in
pixels divided by 8.5.
Display output cannot be redirected to a file.
Epson, IBM 9 Pin Printers ------------------------------------------
/FN, /FW, and /F1 cover a wide range of Epson/IBM compatible 9 pin
dot matrix printers. You need a cyan/magenta/yellow/black ribbon
to get color prints. /FW sets line feeds to 1/6 inch.
Epson, Fujitsu, NEC, Toshiba 24 Pin Printers -----------------------
/FT covers all Epson LQ printers and many compatible printers
(Panasonic in LQ mode and others). /FF works with Fujitsu 24 pin
printers in Fujitsu mode. /F9 works with NEC 24 pin printers. /FO
works with Toshiba 24 pin printers. /FO resets the line feed
distance to 1/6 inch on completion.
For all of these drivers, you need a cyan/magenta/yellow/black
ribbon to get color prints.
p-29
Epson Stylus and Esc/P2 printers -----------------------------------
/F$ drives Epson Stylus and other Esc/P2 printers. Note that
Esc/P2 requires a different prefix code for paper size than other
line printers. Always use the form feed option with this driver
unless you have previously set Esc/P2 compressed graphics mode.
The /F$ color drivers are always CMYK.
/FB~ drives Epson Stylus and older Epson 48 nozzle inkjet
printers, using compressed Esc/P control codes. It does not
require a form feed or interfere with previous printer settings.
Epson Stylus Color, II, Pro ----------------------------------------
The Epson Stylus Color can use any of the /F$ or /FB drivers. /F$+
gives 720 dpi mode. The /FS% drivers are the same as the /F$
drivers except they use Epson's internal interleaving. The Stylus
II will not work with /F$+ but will work with /FS%+.
The Stylus Color at 720 dpi severely overprints, requiring a 50%
screen to compensate (see /W or "color correction" "screen: "), so
/F$+ and /FS%+ set the default screen level to 50. /F$* and /FS%*
are the same drivers but with a default screen level of 0 and they
may be useful with some models.
Band interleaving for 720 dpi black prints with /F$+~ imposes a
severe slowdown because the interleaving is aimed at reducing
printing on wet ink rather than reducing the visual artifacts of
indexing errors.
p-30
Fargo Primera, PrimeraPro, Pictura ---------------------------------
/F8 includes five drivers for the Primera. /F8 is the CMY driver
for standard CMY and CMYK ribbons. /F8` is the CMYK driver for the
standard CMYK ribbon. /F8~ is for standard black ribbons. /F8+ is
for Photo-Realistic CMY ribbons. /F8+~ is for Photo-Realistic
black ribbons.
/FY provides analogous drivers for the PrimeraPro at 300x300 dpi.
/FY+! is the same as /FY+ (300 dpi Photo-Realistic) except that it
assumes an A6 ribbon in the printer. There is no monochrome
version of this driver. /FY* is for the Primera Pro 300x600 dpi
Photo-Realistic mode.
/FY% provides analagous drivers for the Pictura (300 dpi).
The Primera heat level (1..96) may be appended to the output
format option. The default is 20.
The Primera requires fast data flow and can cause long waits in
the data flow at times. Because of this it is important to use the
direct parallel port (/DP1, ..) or BIOS printer destinations (/D1,
..) rather than the LPT destinations (/DLPT1, ..).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Depending on your computer and the ribbon type,
PrintGF may not be able to send data to the printer as fast as it
needs it. In this case the printer will still function but there
will be indexing errors, horizontal bands, or light print. To fix
this use the intermediate file option (/I or "other output"
"intermediate file: "). This will send all output to an
intermediate file and then copy the file to the printer. For the
Pictura, this is likely to be required for best print quality.
For the Primera in Photo-Realistic mode, the user specified color
correction (brightness, gamma, etc.) is done first, with the gamma
multiplied by 1.5, and then the Fargo recommended color correction
is done.
Fax/Modems ---------------------------------------------------------
PrintGF will not create data for direct use by fax/modem devices.
Most fax software will read PCX or DCX (for multiple images) files
and PrintGF can generate these files.
Use /FZ~203,196 or "ZSoft PCX b/w h,v dpi: 203,196" to generate a
PCX at 203x196 dpi which is the native fax high resolution.
HI JetPro V50/100 --------------------------------------------------
In printer mode the HI V50/100 acts as a Canon BJ IBM mode printer
(/F7). The maximum print width is 15.25 and you need the prefix
code 27,91,88,2,0,1,255 to get beyond 13.6 inches.
p-31
HP DeskJet ---------------------------------------------------------
/FI works with any black/white DeskJet in portrait mode.
/FA has three modes for different levels of color HP-PCL. /FA uses
RGB color and works with the DeskJet 500C. /FA! uses CMY color and
works with all color DeskJets. /FA!` uses CMYK color to give give
better blacks only on the DeskJet 550C, 560C, 660C, and 850C (the
DJ 1200C and 1600C convert from CMY to CMYK color internally).
The DeskJet 550C and 560C have black ink that bleeds into color
ink on some papers. Use combination black (/FA!`` or clr: C on the
output format menu) to help with this problem.
For the DeskJet 850C and 855C only, /FA% uses the 600 dpi black
with 300 dpi color to produce 3 level color.
HP LaserJet --------------------------------------------------------
/FL works with any LaserJet compatible printer. /FL! works with LJ
2 (PCL 4) printers. /FI works with LJ 3 (PCL 5) printers. /FI+ is
a 600 dpi driver for the LaserJet 4.
All of these drivers work in portrait mode, which may be set with
/J 27 38 108 48 79 or you can reset the printer with /J 27 69.
Resolution enhancement (RET) may adversely affect PrintGF's
shading patterns. It can be turned off by setting the first prefix
code to 255, which is converted to the required PJL commands. Use
255 as the last suffix code for a complete reset, including RET.
HP PaintJet --------------------------------------------------------
/FP drives 180 dpi PaintJet printers. The compression mode driver
(/FP!) uses transfer mode 2 and works only with a PaintJet XL.
/FA! (the DeskJet 500C CMY driver) works with the PaintJet XL300.
HP QuietJet --------------------------------------------------------
/FQ works with QuietJets in HP-PCL mode.
HP-RTL Plotters ----------------------------------------------------
/F0[i] works with HP-RTL plotters. For large prints a dither
pattern of 4 is generally preferable. Always use form feed with
this driver unless you have previously set HP-RTL mode.
p-32
IBM Inkjets - ExecJet 4072, ExecJet II, Color Jetprinter 4079 ------
These are three completely different printers. The ExecJet 4072 is
Canon BJ330 compatible. Put the printer in IBM mode and use /F7.
The ExecJet II and IIc are DeskJet and DeskJet 500C compatible
printers and should be used with /FI and /FA!.
The 4079 is basically a PostScript printer and you can drive it
with /FS. However you can get faster printing by using it as a
raster printer. Newer versions of the printer can be set to ASCII
text mode and driven with /F& (Canon BJ native). Older printers
can be turned on with the two leftmost buttons held down until
startup is complete and then put in ASCII dump mode to use /F&.
Always use form feed with the BJ native driver unless you have
previously set BJ native mode.
IBM/Lexmark LaserPrinter 4019, 4029, 4037, 4039, Optra -------------
/F4 drives any LaserPrinter 4019, 4029, or 4037 in PPDS (native)
mode. /FL will work for HP LaserJet mode.
The ! suboption or "modify output" "compression mode: Y" switches
to 4029 data compression. /F4+! works with the 4029 with 600 dpi
PPDS upgrade.
All 4039s and Optras are HP-PCL printers and should be driven with
/FI or /FI+. These printers do not support PPDS mode (/F4). They
may support PostScript (/FS) output.
Optras with 1200 dpi support can use /FI*. Since the printer does
not handle single dots well, you will need to use a dither pattern
of 4 or 8.
IBM 24 Pin Printers ------------------------------------------------
PrintGF has three drivers for Proprinter X24 compatible printers.
Use native mode, not AGM. /F6 is for all IBM X24s and the 24P.
These printers do 1/144 inch indexing and using them at 180 dpi
gives horizontal white streaks every 2/3 inch. The /F6 drivers
compensate for this by indexing 19/144 per line, giving 182 dpi.
To work properly the printer must start on a 1/72 boundary so it
is best to keep line feeds at a multiple of 1/72 (1/6, 1/8, 1/9).
/F5 is referred to as X24 alternate 1 and is for printers that are
X24 compatible except for 1/180 inch indexing. This is the case
with most X24 compatible printers, including the IBM Quickwriter
and IBM 2390 and 2391. /F5* works only with printers that do 1/360
indexing, including the 2390 and 2391 but not the Quickwriter.
/FX is referred to as X24 alternate 2 and is the same as /F5
except for the vertical units command. /FX works with Panasonic
printers in X24 mode.
p-33
IBM Quietwriter 2 and 3 --------------------------------------------
/F2 and /F3 drive the Quietwriter 2 and 3. Line feeds are set to
1/6 inch on completion.
JRL J bubblejet ----------------------------------------------------
/F# drives the JRL J bubblejet in Epson LQ mode.
Kodak Diconix Color 4 ----------------------------------------------
/FK drives the Color 4.
Mannesmann Tally MT92C ---------------------------------------------
/FA (the DeskJet 500C RGB driver) drives the MT92C.
Pacific Data Products ProTracer ------------------------------------
/FG drives the ProTracer (base model) in IBM Proprinter mode. The
maximum print window width is 15.
PostScript Printers ------------------------------------------------
/FS sends 8 bit black/white or 24 bit color data. Unless
overridden, the output resolution matches the image file. This
lets the PostScript device handle all of the dithering.
/FS- drives PostScript printers with 1 bit black/white or 3 bit
color. It is important to match the resolution of the driver to
the resolution of the printer for good results. Some PostScript
printers cannot handle this data.
The vertical margin is from the bottom of the page with
PostScript.
Star Micronics SJ-144 ----------------------------------------------
/F: drives the SJ-144. Always use the form feed option with this
driver unless you have previously set CDM mode. The two pass
version of this driver, /F:+, may be needed for dark prints. If
you are having problems with the ribbon sticking to the paper, try
this driver, but don't use it unnecessarily as it uses twice the
usual ribbon.
Tektronix ColorQuick -----------------------------------------------
/FR drives the ColorQuick.
Windows Printer ----------------------------------------------------
/FW% drives the default Windows printer as a 24 bit device. /FW%-
drives the default Windows printer as a 3 bit device. The data is
sent at the resolution of the printer and is always sent to the
Print Manager regardless of the PrintGF destination. ! causes
PrintGF to band the output to the driver. This can improve print
speed or cause Windows to abort the print.
p-34
ZSoft PCX, DCX Bit Map ---------------------------------------------
/FZ and /FZ~ output 1 bit/plane color and monochrome ZSoft PCX bit
maps. /FZ+ and /FZ+~ output 8 bit/plane color and monochrome PCXs.
The horizontal and vertical dots/inch may be appended to override
the default 100x100, for example /FZ80,90. PCX output should
generally be directed to a file with the /D option.
Since most fax software can take PCX files as input, this is
useful for faxing images. Use /FZ~203,196 to match the fax
resolution.
DCX is an extension to PCX that allows multiple images in a file.
/FZ!, /FZ!~, /FZ!+, and /FZ~+~ are analogous to the PCX drivers
but you can append these images to other DCX images by setting the
destination to an appended file.
p-35
Program Interface ----------------------------------------------------
The following information lets you integrate PrintGF into your
program to print or display bit maps. This information is provided
for experienced programmers only - no user help will be provided.
You may not distribute PrintGF as part of another product or on the
same disk with any commercial software (see License). Contact Ravitz
Software Inc. to inquire about special distribution licenses.
To extend the PrintGF setup string, set up multiple strings that
include only complete options. Include in each string except the
last the option /&next_segment, next_offset to point to the next
string. PrintGF will then read through the entire string list.
PrintGF can use your keyboard/mouse input routine instead of
accessing BIOS or Windows directly. To use this feature add the
segment and offset of your keyboard routine to the /X option. The
routine must be a far routine that receives one word parameter on
the stack and pops the stack on return (Pascal convention). The
parameter will be:
0 - routine returns 1 if a key is ready or 0 if no key is ready
1 - routine waits for a key and returns it
100 - PrintGF has returned to text mode
101 - PrintGF has entered APA screen mode
102 - PrintGF has opened a destination file
110 - PrintGF return code is 0 (success)
111 - PrintGF return code is 1 (failed)
112 - PrintGF return code is 2 (user break)
Return values should be put in ax. Keystroke values should be
identical to those returned by the keyboard BIOS.
100 and 101 let your program know what is on the screen. 102 lets
you can count how many destination files are created. No return
value is expected.
PrintGF can also use your screen output routine instead of accessing
DOS or WIndows. To use this feature add the segment and offset of
your output routine to the /X option. If you are using PrintGF's
keyboard routine, precede it with "0,0,". The routine must be a far
routine that receives one pointer on the stack and pops the stack on
return. The pointer will point to a length delimited string (Pascal
string). No return information is expected. This routine only
receives PrintGF's text data, not it graphics display data.
You will need to switch to your data segment to access global
variables from these routines. If you add your data segment as the
fifth number in the /X option then PrintGF will set this before it
does a callback. If you want to use this feature but not your own
screen output routine, insert "0,0," instead of the routine address.
PrintGF can read image files or call your program to get data. To
set up a callback routine, add /E segment,offset to the parameter
list to specify the address of the routine.
continued
p-36
This routine should, in general, switch to your data segment, your
stack if you need more than 1K, and your program prefix segment and
dta if you are using DOS file access in the middle of a callback.
You can have PrintGF automatically switch to your data segment by
adding it as the third numeric parameter to the /E option. In this
case, wherever ds would set be as documented below, es is instead
set.
All parameters are transferred via register. The callback routine
will be called with these parameters:
open file
ax = $3d00
cx = 0
dx = offset of filename
ds = segment of filename (filename is null delimited string)
returns handle in ax, sets carry flag on error
Since you set the filename in the PrintGF parameter list, it is
not important. The returned handle is also not important.
close file
ax = $3e00
bx = handle
read data
ax = $3f00
bx = handle
cx = amount of data desired
dx = offset of buffer to load data
ds = segment of buffer to load data
returns amount of data loaded in ax (must be <= cx and >= 1),
sets carry flag on error
You can return as little as 1 byte of data or as much as cx.
set file pointer
ax = $4200 (from start of file) or $4202 (from end of file)
bx = handle
cx = offset high word
dx = offset low word
sets carry flag on error
This is used only for DCX and 8 bit PCX files.
Setting the program prefix segment is accomplished via these
undocumented DOS calls (int $21)
ax = $5100 returns psp in bx
ax = $5000 and bx = psp sets the psp.
p-37
PGF Files ------------------------------------------------------------
PrintGF can read four simple proprietary image formats - PGF files.
These formats are designed for easy image transfer and
transformation, and are not compressed or compatible with other
programs.

Answers --------------------------------------------------------------
You must set a suitable "output format" or /F option to print.
PrintGF defaults to display an image, not print it.
Set a negative contrast (-50) to reverse the colors of an image.
For the Canon BJC-800 in Epson mode, the right margin defaults to 8
inches. Use /J27 64 27 81 114 to set it to 11.4 inches.
For the Canon BJ-330 and most wide carriage printers, the maximum
print window width is 13.57 inches. This is a printer limitation
that you cannot get around.
If your printer ejects the paper before the print is finished, you
probably need to specify a paper length prefix code. For most line
printers use /J27 67 0 n where n is the page length in inches. Canon
BJ native mode uses /J27 40 103 3 0 n 1 114 where n is the page
length in inches times 10 (the default is 17). Epson Esc/P2 uses
/J27 40 67 2 0 lo(n) hi(n) where n is a two byte integer specifying
the page length in dots. The PDP ProTracer in IBM mode uses /J27 67
n where n is the page length in lines (6 lines/inch usually).
