DOT-MATRIX PRINTER CONFIGURATION INFORMATION
This text file provides user-customization of many additional printers
not directly supported by L.M.P All dot-matrix printing is intended for
rough draft purposes. 24-pin printers are supported at the same resolution
as 9-pin printers. If your printer supports an Epson FX mode, we recommend
using it. If not, the 24-pin mode may work for you.
o Only the first 9 lines of this file are significant.
Anthing placed below the 9th line will be ignored.
You may delete all but the first 9 lines to save space.
o Values must be decimal, separated by commas without spaces and
must end with a semicolon to allow comments on the same line.
o The order is VERY important.
o Line spacing for 9 pin printers is 8/72". The line spacing command
may be combined with any other initialization commands on line two.
24 pin printers use 24/180" line sapcing. (i.e., Epson LQ-2500 = 27,51,24)
o The graphics mode command usually ends with two numbers telling the
printer how many bytes of graphics data to expect. In our example above,
these numbers are: 128 and 2.
The numbers are based on the following calculations:
#1 is the REMAINDER of 640 (dots per line) / 256 = 128
and #2 is the QUOTIENT (whole number) of 640 / 256 = 2
24 pin printers use the High Resolution Graphics mode command.
(Epson LQ-2500 = 27,42,38,128,2) NOTICE: Final print resolution will
be equivalent to 9-pin quality.
o Left margin indent is in DPI (Dots Per Inch) and must be added
to the third number in line 3 (128 in the example above).
o Pin flag is 9 for 9 pin, 24 for 24.
MIDI INTERFACE CARD ADDRESS SPECIFICATION
Line 8 of this file may be used to designate a non-standard addresss for
your MPU-401 compatable midi interface card. Standard addressing is based
on Roland's original specifications of 330 hex. Some cards allow users to
change the board's address to an alternate location (e.g., 338 hex).
If line 8 is blank, L.M.P will expect your card to reside at 330 hex.
You may change this by entering the desired address on line 8 followed
by either a carriage return or semi-colon if a comment is desired.
Your entry must be in decimal, thus 330 hex would be 816, 338 hex = 824, etc.
Line 9 of this file uses the default MPU-401 interrupt Request number of 2.
You may alter this if necessary to match your particular card setting if it
is user configurable.
NOTICE: Proper selection and coordination of IRQ assignments can casue your
system to malfunction irratically or more likely crash. IRQ's allow an inter-
face card to get your computer's attention. Roland's notorious MPU-401 uses
IRQ 2. But this can sometimes conflict with other cards in your computer such
as a mouse, a clock/calendar card, some hard disk controllers, etc. If you
have another device fighting over IRQ 2, then you'll have to change one of
them to an unused IRQ number. If you find it necessary or desirable to change
your MIDI card's IRQ, then you will have to include this number on line 9.
