- Read_Me file for NEC printers.
- ------------------------------
-
- The "NEC.P6-Plus" printer definition file is for
- use with the NEC P6 Plus and NEC compatible 24 pin
- printers. Most of the graphics resolutions are 24
- pin dumps. The 360 DPI vertical resolution
- graphics dumps are interlaced and as such require
- the support of the FS "3" <n> control sequence to
- set n/360 inch line pitch. Note that colour
- printing should only be selected if you have
- installed a colour ribbon in your NEC P6 Plus -
- the ribbon that comes with the NEC P6 Plus is
- black only. ISO Latin 1 text characters are
- obtained by using ESC "t" 1 and ESC "6" to select
- IBM character set 2 instead of italic characters
- for the top bit set printer characters. In
- addition ESC "R" <n> sequences are used to print
- some of the characters.
-
- The "NEC.P6-Plus" file will in fact work with many
- Epson compatible 24 pin printers, with the
- exception of the 360 DPI vertical resolution
- graphics modes which use the NEC specific command.
-
- Colour printing is available at all supported
- resolutions, but it should be noted that the
- interlaced graphics printouts ie. 180 by 360 DPI
- or higer, result in a large number of print head
- passes (8 or 16) over the same line on the paper
- and on the second or subsquent interlace passes,
- the light ribbon colours are printed on top of
- dark colours already on the paper. This may cause
- contamination of the lighter ribbon colour.
