EpsonQPlus (24-pin Epson compatible)
----------
1. Dot matrix b&w/color printer (text and graphics).
2. Drives all EpsonQ/EpsonQ+ (LQ1500, LQ2500, etc.) compatible printers.
3. Linefeeds # of vertical dots printed.
4. Density XDPI YDPI XYDPI Comments
1 90 180 16200
2 120 180 21600
3 180 180 32400
4 120 360 43200 two pass
5 180 360 64800 two pass
6 360 180 64800 *1
7 360 360 129600 two pass *1
5. A PaperSize of 'Wide Tractor' selects a maximum print width of
13.6 inches (for wide carriage printers).
6. A papertype of 'SINGLE' ejects the sheet with a formfeed after every
dump. This enables Epsons sheet cutting feature. Formfeed
after a graphic dump is send according to the SPECIAL_NOFORMFEED flag.
Improvements added
------------------
1. The old PaperType function has been removed for a sheet
cutting feature. No more 16pins support ! 24pins should be
mastered by modern printers, specially in 360*360DPI mode...
Selecting SINGLE in preferences ejects the sheet after using
the printer. This enables Epson cutting sheet feature.
Because of a bug in DPaint, don't expect anything from this
feature when working with DPaint
2. Support of more graphic resolutions (360 YDPI) ! Tough,
because of speed, there is no more CR after every linedump.
So if your printer should need a CR, contact me and I'll send you
a copy. Until now, I don't no any printer with this
'malfunction', so don't worry to much about it...
Mechanical justification of the printerhead seems to be a
minor CR problem.
3. The driver has been speeded up.
4. Extra driver with support for 68030 should be included with
this package.
5. Escape sequence for shadow print, copyright sign
and registrattion sign added.
6. There is now support for selecting different typefaces. Due
to the extended character translation table, the character set
selection commands (aFNT0 - aFNT10) are no longer really needed.
The following fonts are yet supported by Epson LQ+ with additional
cartridges:
0 - Roman (default typeface).
1 - Sans Serif
2 - Courier
3 - Prestige
4 - Script
5 - OCR-B
6 - OCR-A
7 - Orator
8 - Orator S
9 - <ESC>k9 no font yet available ?
10 - <ESC>k10 no font yet available ?
Notes
-----
*1 - in this mode the printer cannot print two consecutive dots in a row.
It is recommended that you only use this density for B&W Shade dumps.
