   If you've got a plain dot-matrix printer, you've probably envied the 
impressive output your friends with laser printers are able to obtain from their 
computers.  However, the high cost of these printers probably precludes you from 
obtaining one, unless you're into serious desktop publishing.  This leaves you 
with no choice but to put up with mediocre-quality output for your letters and 
documents.  Or at least it did, until ImagePrint came along.  This program 
allows you to get high-quality output from some popular models of dot-matrix 
printers.

   ImagePrint is a shareware program which normally requires a registration fee 
from all who continue to use it beyond a trial period.  However, a special 
arrangement has been made between the publisher and BIG BLUE DISK to allow our 
readers to use the program without obligation.  The version of ImagePrint on 
this disk contains one high-quality font, "Cubic."  If you choose to voluntarily 
pay a registration fee to the program's publisher, you receive (in addition to 
the support all registered users get) six more fonts.  Other fonts are also 
available, as described in the README file.  (From the DOS prompt, type the 
command "TYPE README" to see it on your screen, or "COPY README PRN" to print it 
out.) 

   A full documentation file is included on this disk to show you how to use 
ImagePrint.  It is in the file MANUAL.DOC, which can be listed to your printer 
with the DOS command "COPY MANUAL.DOC PRN".  It is formatted for standard 8 1/2 
x 11 paper.  (DON'T use ImagePrint to print out its own documentation, since it 
contains characters which are recognized by the program as command sequences 
[this can't be helped, since the documentation obviously must describe what 
command sequences are available!]  Anyway, you probably won't know how to use 
ImagePrint until you see the documentation anyway, so just print it using the 
old-fashioned DOS COPY command.)

   For the daring free spirits among you who wish to try the program out before 
reading the documentation, you can start it with the command (from the DOS 
command line, NOT within BIG BLUE DISK's menu) "IMP80 CON:".  This sets it to 
printing out whatever you then type from the keyboard.  You must press ENTER 
after each line for it to print out.  CTRL-Z or F6 at the beginning of a line 
terminates execution.
