C A S C O V E R (Version 1.0)
CASCOVER was written to provide a way of labeling cassette tapes.
It prints `three fold' cassette tape insert covers, which fit over the
tape liners provided with the tape. These covers provide for increased
amounts of information, better readability and uniformity among your
tape collection.
CASCOVER will print from one to four covers on a single piece of
8 1/2 by 11 inch paper. The number of covers printed is controlled
by the person performing the data entry. Data entry is controlled by
two screens. The first screen accepts information lines for the first
`fold' and the second `fold'. The first `fold' is the one on the front
of a cassette tape box, and the second `fold' is the one on the bottom
of a cassette tape box (the second `fold' is where most people usually
list the artist/album titles). The second screen accepts information
lines for the third `fold'. The third `fold' is on the back of a tape
box, and contains the contents information lines for Side A and B.
SPECIAL NOTES:
-------------
1). The printing of the covers is accomplished by setting a dot matrix
printer to Condensed Print Mode (136 characters per line), and
eight lines per inch. This is done by the program the first time
it actually begins to print covers, and stays in effect until the
program is terminated. At termination time the printer is reset
back to its `power up' default settings.
2). The print codes sent to the printer are standard EPSON dot matrix
print codes. I can not ensure that these codes are compatible
with other brand name printers.

3). If you are using a daisy wheel printer, you will have to load a
font wheel which corresponds to the settings specified in `1).'.
4). The page alignment was set to my printer (EPSON - FX100). When
set correctly, the right most `cut line' and the left most `cut
line' print just outside of the corresponding perforation lines.
This reduces the amount of cutting that must be done before using
the covers. The setting I use is pushing the left paper tractor
to its right most position (the print head, when fully returned
should be almost directly over the tractor holes of the left
perforation tear strip).
5). Also regarding paper alignment, if the above settings are correct,
and three or four covers are printed, the paper will skip to the
top of the next page, before printing more covers. This allows
the covers to be aligned when multiple pages are printed, thereby
making it possible to busrt the pages and cut all covers at one
time.
I STRONGLY SUGGEST THAT THE FIRST TIME YOU USE CASCOVER, PRINT TWO
TO FOUR SAMPLE COVERS TO HELP DETERMINE YOUR PRINTER ALIGNMENT.
That's about it. The program is very easy to use and is self
explanitory. I hope it can be of some use to you.
