Short: Drivers & Utils. for Canon printers
Long:
CanonDisk is software for controlling Canon printers with the
Commodore-Amiga personal computer with the purpose of creating
high quality output. The CanonDisk is divided into two parts, a
Canon driver and a Canon picture-printing program. CanonDisk's
main qualities include:
* Prints most IFF graphic pictures from disk (including HAM8,
IFF24, IFF8 and EHB) using minimal memory. The output produced is
either 24 bit (16.7 million colours) or 8 bit (256 shades of
grey).
* Workbench printer drivers all currently support Canon printers.
The drivers have been designed specifically for each printer and
give several unique features.
The following printers are supported:
BJ5, BJ10, BJ20, BJ130, BJ200, BJ230, BJ300
A1, A2
LPB
BJC800
* Allows you to print poster sized images spread over multiple
pages.
* Definable dither patterns including preset patterns.
* 16-point colour adjustment for each colour component. This
gives the user many features including gamma correction, and
contrast and brightness adjustment.
* Ink compensation for the correction of ink impurities.
* Workbench 2/3 graphical user interface (GUI).
* ARexx support.
* The Canon drivers can print up to 256 shades of grey from normal
Amiga applications. Standard Amiga drivers are limited to 16.
* Settings for page size, paper margins and the size of graphics
to be printed.
* Settings for built-in printer typefaces.
* The software is very fast and automatically uses improved
routines if the software is run on an Amiga with a 68020/30/40
CPU.
* Includes a very fast printer drivers for the PageStream DTP
package.
* font generation and automatic font download to the printer.
* overlay page support.
These are not the complete capabilities of the CanonDisk, merely
some of the highlights.
