-
- The two programs contained in this package had been tested and
- they probed to be reliable. However, I can not (and I will not) be

-
- ******* HISTORY *******
-
- I started writing this package to learn how to program a printer
- driver, so I think it's pretty nice for a first time, IT WORKS !!! (and it
- works really good...)
- Both drivers were compiled under Lattice C 5.00 on my A500.
- Thanks to the Technical Reference Series for the information to build the
- drivers. Tested on Opus Directory 4.0, ProWrite 3.3, Wordworth 2.0, ADPro
- 2.0, Image F/X 2.5, Page Stream 2.2 (through Preferences driver), and Art
- Expression 1.0 under WB3.0 on my A1200. I think it is enough for a test...

- ******* DESCRIPTION *******
-
- Epson LX-800 is a standard driver, it behaves as the commodore
- provided Epson driver, except that it does not do overprints to fake
- international characters, it just uses them; so text speed is better.
- Graphically speaking, it adds some nice LX-800 densities as 72 x 72
- (square pixel) for plotting.
- Epson LX-800-turbo adds an impressingly fast feature, it
- compresses white spaces on the left and also vertically !!! Try printing a
- centered small picture and get astonished !
-
- Both drivers support the following densities:
-
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- | DENSITY | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- | XDPI | 72 | 72 | 90 | 120 | 120 | 240 | 240 |
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- | YDPI | 72 | 144 | 72 | 72 | 144 | 144 | 216 |
- -----------------------------------------------------------
- | PASSES | 1 | 2 | 1 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 3 |
