  5.        Early in 1991, in an attempt to broaden and upgrade the Printer
  6.        Definition (.PDF) Files for WordMaster, I wrote to all the companies
  7.        listed in the previous PC Magazine Printer Issue explaining my
  8.        purpose and requesting whatever information they could provide.
  9.        Some companies responded by sending complete printer manuals or
  10.        special developers manuals.  A few sent brochures that included the
  11.        emulations available on various models.  A couple telephoned with
  12.        the same information on emulations.  Most, I'm sorry to say, ignored
  13.        my request.
  14.  
  15.        The following list of printers and corresponding .PDF files is
  16.        derived both from the information sent by companies and from users
  17.        who have sent me .PDF files for their printers. There seems to be a
  18.        growing acceptance of the Epson and Hewlett Packard code sets as the
  19.        de facto standards, making this much easier than it was just a few
  20.        years ago.
  21.  
  22.        Please remember that I have not been able to test all these printers
  23.        and if you should find that the listed .PDF file does not work as
  24.        expected on your printer let me know so that we can work together on
  25.        creating one that does.

  134.           According to the manuals from Panasonic
  135.           the EPSON-FX.PDF should work OK, but some
  136.           users have reported difficulty getting the
  137.           compressed printing to work.  If you should
  138.           experience this, try using PAN.PDF instead.
