V1.3 Printer Driver Notes
-------------------------
Alphacom_AlphaPro_101
---------------------
1. Daisywheel printer (text only).
Brother_HR-15XL
---------------
1. Daisywheel printer (text only).
CalComp_ColorMaster
-------------------
1. Thermal transfer b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Use Black ribbon for non-color dumps; Color ribbon for color dumps.
3. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
4. 'SPECIAL_NOFORMFEED' option implemented.
CalComp_ColorMaster2
-------------------
1. Thermal transfer b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Use Black ribbon for non-color dumps; Color ribbon for color dumps.
3. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
4. 'SPECIAL_NOFORMFEED' option implemented.
5. This driver is the same as the Calcomp_ColorMaster driver EXCEPT it is
approximately 2 times faster (during color dumps) and requires LOTS
of memory (up to ~1,272,003 bytes for a full 8.5 x 11 inch
(1600 x 2000 dot) color dump). Typically full-size (color) dumps are
1600 x 1149 dots and require ~730,767 bytes. The memory requirements
are 1/3 when doing a black&white or greyscale printout.
CBM_MPS1000
-----------
1. Dot matrix non-color printer (text and graphics).
2. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed (-1/3 dot if PaperType = Single).
3. Densities supported are 120(1) and 240(2) dpi.
4. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of 13.6 inches
(just in case we bring out a wide tractor printer).
Diablo_630
----------
1. Daisywheel printer (text only).
Diablo_Advantage_D25
--------------------
1. Daisywheel printer (text only).
Diablo_C-150
------------
1. Ink jet b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Always linefeeds 4 dots (limitation of printer).
3. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of 8.5 inches
(for wide roll paper).
EpsonQ (24-pin Epson compatible)
--------------------------------
1. Dot matrix b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Drives all EpsonQ (LQ1500, LQ2500, etc.) compatible printers.
3. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
4. Densities supported are 90(1), 120(2), 180(3) and 360(4) dpi.
5. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of 13.6 inches
(for wide carriage printers).
6. A PaperType of 'Single' uses only 16 of the 24 pins, whereas a PaperType
of 'Fanfold' uses all 24 pins. The 'Single' option is useful for those
printers which have a weak power supply and cannot drive all 24 pins
continuously.
EpsonX (8/9-pin Epson compatible)
------
1. Dot matrix b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Drives all EpsonX (EX/FX/JX/LX/MX/RX, etc.) compatible printers.
3. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed (-1/3 dot if PaperType = Single).
4. Densities supported are 120(1) and 240(2) dpi.
5. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of 13.6 inches
(for wide carriage printers).
generic
-------
1. Text only printer.
HP_DeskJet
----------
1. Ink jet non-color printer (text and graphics).
2. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
3. Densities supported are 75(1), 100(2), 150(3) and 300(4) dpi.
4. 'SPECIAL_NOFORMFEED' option implemented.
5. Maximum print area is 8.0 x 10.0 inches.
HP_LaserJet (LaserJet+/LaserJetII compatible)
--------------------------------------------------
1. Laser engine non-color printer (text and graphics).
2. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
3. Densities supported are 75(1), 100(2), 150(3) and 300(4) dpi.
4. 'SPECIAL_NOFORMFEED' option implemented.
5. Maximum print area is 8.0 x 10.0 inches.
HP_PaintJet
-----------
1. Ink jet b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
Imagewriter II (Imagewriter compatible)
---------------------------------------
1. Dot matrix b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
3. Densities supported are 80(1), 96(2), 107(3), 120(4),
136(5), 144(6) & 160(7) dpi.
Okidata_92
----------
1. Dot matrix non-color printer (text and graphics).
2. Always linefeeds 7/72 inch (limitation of printer in graphics mode).
Okidata_293I
------------
1. Dot matrix b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Drives 292 or 293 using the IBM interface module.
3. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed (-1/3 dot if PaperType = Single)
4. Densities supported are 120(1) and 240(2) dpi.
5. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of 13.6 inches
(for wide carriage printers).
Okimate-20

2. Use Black ribbon for non-color dumps; Color ribbon for color dumps.
3. Linefeeds an even # of dots printed. (ie. if 3 printed, 4 advanced).
Qume_LetterPro_20
-----------------
1. Daisywheel printer (text only).
Xerox_4020
----------
1. Ink jet b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Always linefeeds 4 dots (limitation of printer).
3. This driver is IDENTICAL to the Diablo_C-150 driver EXCEPT it outputs
all black dots TWICE. This is a special feature of this printer and
produces much more solid, darker black shades. Please note that some
printing time overhead results from this feature; if you don't want it
use the Diablo_C-150 driver.
4. Densities supported are 121x120(1) and 242x240(2) dpi.
Selecting a density of 2 or higher really doesn't give you true 240 dpi
resolution since the Xerox_4020 only has 121 x dots per inch.
Instead this mode tells the printer to go into it's pseudo 240 dpi mode.
Here, it outputs a line of dots at 121 dpi; moves the paper up 1/240 of
an inch and outputs the line again (shifted to the right by 1/240 of an
inch). This produces much more vibrate colors and gives the illusion
of more resulution. One drawback is that large areas of solid colors
(red, green, and blue specifically) tend to over-saturate the paper with
ink.
5. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of 9.0 inches
(for wide roll paper).
