Readme for V7.11beta
====================
This version introduces eight new drivers with improved print quality:
Epson_StylusColor660new
Epson_StylusColor740new
Epson_StylusColor760new
Epson_StylusColor860new
Epson_StylusColor900new
Epson_StylusColor1160new
Epson_StylusPhoto750new
Epson_StylusColor1200new
and three preliminary drivers (limited to 600x600dpi):
HP_DeskJet930C
HP_DeskJet950C
HP_DeskJet970C
Changes to Epson drivers:
- Real 1440dpi is now supported, 1440dpi are now also shown in applications
- Color correction tables have been improved
- Reduced drop size (Supermicro Dots) for Stylus Color 760 & higher
and Stylus Photo printers.
Changes that also apply to Canon BJC1000/2000/6000/6100/7000/7100 drivers:
- Color correction calculations have been extended from 8 to 16 bit per
channel to ensure smooth colour transitions
* As the Canon BJC printers are no longer available to us, reports on print
* quality or bug reports are appreciated very much!
Changes in Turboprefs (when new Epson drivers are selected):
- The setting "Quality" has been replaced by "Cartridge"-
this is not used for Epson printers.
- The setting "Density" now combines the print
resolution (dots per inch) selection and the
quallity selection (low, medium, high, ...).
I.e. the quality is selected and an info box
below the "Density" cycle gadget gives
information on the print resolution and method
(i.e. ink save mode, drop modulation mode, ...).
- The paper size selection now includes printer
specific sizes, e.g. envelopes or "panorama paper".
Changes in GraphicsPublisher (when new Epson drivers are selected):
- Additional information on the selected print density
is available in the "Print" window.
- Additional printer specific paper sizes are available
in the "Page setup" window.
Overal changes:
- In the beta version, a logfile is written to
"ram:t/turboprint.log".
If you should have problems, please include the logfile
with your bug report. Please use "bugreport.form" for
your reports.
Driver notes:
Epson Stylus Color / Photo
- For quick printing of text documents with a mix of black text and
coloured text or colour images, a resolution of 360 dpi is recommended.
In this mode, additional black ink nozzles will be activated for
those parts of the page, where only black text is present.

driver updates and bug fixes.
Additions to Chapter...
Chapter 2: Installation
=======================
The installation procedure needs Installer V43.3 or higher!
--------------------------
Installer V43.3 is included with the Turboprint disk. If you are using the
"MCP" utility, you will have to copy the new Installer to your hard disk
or deactivate MCP temporarily.
Installation on a Draco computer by MacroSystem
-----------------------------------------------
Turboprint can be installed on a Draco computer. However, IrseeSoft can't
guarantee the functionality, as the Draco is not 100% Amiga compatible.
Before you install Turboprint on a Draco, you must carry out the
"personalization" procedure on a regular Amiga, as the Draco can't write
to Amiga floppy disks.
Usage of Turboprint with a PicassoIV graphics card / the Picasso96 driver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with older versions of the Picasso96 driver software the
following problems may occur:
Problem: Printout from applications like FinalWriter, Wordworth, PageStream
is in wrong colours (e.g. background in dark green)
Solution: Install the latest version of Picasso96
Problem: Text display in the GraphicsPublisher is incorrect.
Text is invisible or charactes are "cut off".
Solution: Install the latest version of Picasso96
or choose a 16 or 24 bit screen in the GraphicsPublisher.
Usage with the PD software 'Executive'
--------------------------------------
If you use the task scheduler 'Executive', you have to make the following
settings to be able to print from FinalWriter:
Add a new rule in the Executive editor:
Task = FinalWriter
Parameter = TASk+CHILDTASK and NOSCHEDULE
Priority = Leave it alone
Chapter 3.2: TurboPrefs - Index Card "Config"
=============================================
Changed settings for some printer drivers
-----------------------------------------
(Canon BJC 1000, 2000, 6xxx, 7100):
- The setting "Quality" has been replaced by "Cartridge" -
"Cartridge" is used to switch between 4 color and
photo cartridge.
- The setting "Density" now combines the print
resolution (dots per inch) selection and the
quallity selection (low, medium, high, ...).
I.e. the quality is selected and an info box
below the "Density" cycle gadget gives
information on the print resolution and method
(i.e. ink save mode, drop modulation mode, ...).
- The paper size selection now includes printer
specific sizes, e.g. envelopes or "banner paper".
Chapter 7: GraphicsPublisher
============================
Changed print menu for some printer drivers
-------------------------------------------
(Canon BJC 1000, 2000, 6xxx, 7100):
- Additional information on the selected print density
is available in the "Print" window.
- Additional printer specific paper sizes are available
in the "Page setup" window.
Problems when printing
----------------------
If the text objects are being printed too small, there is probably not
enough free RAM memory available during printout. The wrong text size
is caused by a bug in the OS routines that generate CompuGraphic outline
fonts.
Solution: Make sure that there is enough memory available during printout
or open the GraphicsPublisher's settings requester and reduce the value
"Text / Max.Print". Thus, text objects will be printed in slightly lower
quality but in the correct size.
Chapter 9: GNU Ghostscript
==========================
Turboprint comes with GNU Ghostscript 4.03, not the current
Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10. The reason for this is that the Aladdin
license does not allow the bundling of Ghostscript with commercial
software - the GNU licences allows this if some rules are respected.
Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 from Aminet (internet or Aminet CDs) does NOT
support 24bit printing with Turboprint, as the code for Turboprint support
has to be compiled together with the other Ghostscript sources. A version
of Ghostscript 5.10 with Turboprint support and also the sourcecode that
has been added will be available on our WEB pages.
Chapter 10: Hints for Printers
==============================
Canon BJC printers - head cleaning & cartridge alignment
--------------------------------------------------------
There is a "BJC-Utility" for newer BJC printers (BJC1000, BJC2000, BJC4200
and higher).
The BJC-Utility is programmed as an "Installer" script, so make sure
that Installer V43.3 or higher is accessible in the current drawer or
"C:".
Canon BJ monochrome inkjet printers
-----------------------------------
The emulation must be set to "Canon BJ" mode at the printer (DIP switches,
see your printer's manual).
The international charset must be set to "Set 2" at the printer
(DIP switch).
In TurboPrint, choose the driver "Canon_BJ".
Newer models (BJ-10ex, BJ-2xx, BJ-3xx) can also be used in EPSON LQ mode,
which offers more fonts. To use EPSON LQ mode, the printer must be switched
to "LQ" mode (DIP switches, see your printer's manual). Choose the
"Epson_LQ,SQ" driver in TurboPrint.
Canon BJC colour inkjet printers
--------------------------------
The emulation must be set to "LQ" mode at
