PipeDream printer drivers
Remember to load and save printer drivers using the TAB
option. This is option 'T' on the load and save menus.
This file is a printer driver for the Epson FX80 and
compatible printers. You can use it to control the FX80 by
specifying the file to the Printer Driver option (ALT PD)
on the Print menu. Alternatively you can modify and
resave this file for use with other printers. Remember to
use different filenames for different drivers. We
recommend using the printer name.
When loading a printer driver, PipeDream reads each
successive line looking for valid options. Each valid
option contains a field in column A. If column A is blank
PipeDream ignores the whole line. So these opening
paragraphs will be ignored.
The following three options all take one parameter which is
specified in column B. The Printer on string specifies the
codes sent to the printer at the start of each print
session and, in the case of single page printing, at the
start of each page. The Printer off string specifies the
codes sent to the printer at the end of each print session
and, in the case of single page printing, at the end of
each page. The End of page string specifies the codes sent
at the end of each page. Some printers can handle
formfeeds which are faster and quieter than the alternative
of sending linefeeds to end the page.
