- EnPrint 2.0 for Stylus README
- =============================
-
- Welcome to EnPrint 2.0! EnPrint is a powerful 24 bit prinitng system,
- with many configuration options to allow you to adjust its operation to
- your needs. After installing the software, we strongly recommend you
- read the EnPrint.guide introduction to familiarize yourself with the
- features and operation of the software. Users of our Epson Stylus Color
- Driver 1.2 will find EnPrint to be vastly changed and improved, and
- should also read the introduction to learn what is new and different
- (almost everything!)
-
- Remember to select the appropriate driver in your Workbench Printer
- Preferences before starting to use the software. See Epson.guide for the
- driver names and related information.
-
- Besides extensive (more than 120K) documentation in AmigaGuide format,
- the documentation is also provided in Final Writer format. The file
- will be installed in your EnPrint: drawer during installation. The
- filename is EnPrintStylus.FW. To print with Final Writer, first set up
- the margins as described in the section "Final Writer/Final Copy
- Gotchas" under "Known Problems" in the EnPrint.guide. In addition you
- must set the "Paper Feed" setting in the Final Writer print requester to
- "Single Sheet" for correct operation. You may print the document in
- color, greyscale, or black and white, but since only the first page
- contains color, we recommend printing it in color by itself at Density
- #2 (assuming you have not altered the configurations that were installed
- by the Install program), and then for faster results printing the
- remaining pages in greyscale (also with Density #2). The default
- Density 2 configuration is 360dpi, which is quite sufficient for text
- documents. Plain paper is fine; you do not have to use the special
- coated paper. For fastest printing of this document, you should turn off
- graphics spooling, and may wish to turn off MicroWeave.

- For our users who Beta tested the driver, here is a list of changes
- between Beta 5 and this 2.0 release version:
-
- - Make EnPrint drawer look nicer after install; place
- icons in reasonable positions.
- - Include the TimberWolf.IFF file we use as a test picture
- (It fit!)
- - Include Final Writer version of documentation.
- - Fix bug that caused first print from Final Writer to be messed
- up.
- - Fix bug in IFFLoad for some pictures with pixel aspect 1:1
- (they would sometimes be set to other aspects instead).
- Also other minor changes in the output for the requester.
- - Move AG documentation into the compressed install archive.
- - Change install directory defaults.
- - Fix minor rendering bug in ConfEd/Shade Control
- under WB2.x.
- - Include Manip program (was forgotten before)
- - Add {file:...} special output hook.
- - Add even more AG documentation (now over 120K!),
- including info on paper suppliers and a list of
- requirements for EnPrint.
- - Install script now defaults special options to whatever they
- are currently set to, or {creq} for a first-time install.
- - EpsonSpecial now defaults to whatever settings are in effect.
- - Better defaults for BIG_T:. Use existing assignment if
- there is one, else make directory EnPrint:T and default to it.
- - Add EpsonSpecial utility (installer script) for changing
- special output options later after installation.
- - Add acknowledgements to EnPrint.guide.
- - Change IIsColor form YMC to YMCB (might help?)
- - Offset dithers changed to work like Floyd-A: if YM/MC
- mode is selected for color correction, offset dithers use
- an alternate, hidden "YM/MC A" algorithm. Offset matrix
- dithers now provide reasonable color accuracy. Like
- Floyd-A, less color correction is needed.
- - Good defaults created, and documented in the Epson.guide.
- EnPrint2.0.IFF24 (availible on the BBS) at 720dpi microweave
- looks *fantastic*!
- - Index created for EnPrint.guide
- - Explain more about AdPro in EnPrint.guide
- - Printable area length for Stylus COLOR reduced slightly.
- Old size was just slightly too large at 720dpi mode, and
- could cause extra sheets to be fed through. Printable
- area height is now back to 10 inches instead of 10.1222.
- other paper sizes similarly adjusted.
