After clicking ‘Test printer’ measure the distance in points from the test line to the top of the sheet of paper and set this control so that Witch can print correctly. (A point is 1/72 of an inch. The test line is graduated in 2 point intervals.)

This button is dimmed because you cannot test the printer — the Witch software was not installed at startup time. Make sure Witch is in the Control Panels folder and then restart the Mac to install the Witch software.

To test the printer setup, load the printer with paper, turn in on, connect it to the Mac with the appropriate lead, make sure all the Witch settings are correct, and click this button. A graduated line should be printed across the top of the page.

This option is dimmed because it does not apply to the Jonathon Freeman Technologies Paralink™ 57600 baud serial interface.

To select the length of pause between data bytes which your printer serial interface needs, click on this menu. Most modern interfaces need only one stop bit.

To select the parity type which your printer serial interface uses, click on this menu. Most modern interfaces are factory configured for ‘No Parity’.

To select the ‘character’ size which your printer serial interface uses, click on this menu. You MUST select ‘8 data bits’ for all modern printers — the other sizes are only given for use with very old text-only printers.

To select the baud rate which your printer serial interface is set to, click on this menu. For best results set your printer interface to the fastest rate it supports, usually 19200 baud.

To enable print data compression, check this box.

Some printers cannot understand compressed data, so first get your printer set up and working with this feature turned off. Afterwards you can try turning it on to see if it improves printing speed.
