- Read_Me file for IBM printers.
- ------------------------------
-
- The "IBM.Pro-X24E" printer definition file uses
- features which mean it will not work on some of
- the early IBM printers. It uses ESC "[g" graphics
- commands to perform 24 pin dumps, ESC "d" to
- perform leading zero suppression and ESC "[\" to
- switch the vertical units to 1/180 inch instead of
- 1/216 inch. The use of these codes for the
- graphics resolutions means that this printer
- definition file will not work with the IBM
- Graphics Printer, Proprinter, Proprinter II and
- Proprinter XL. ISO Latin 1 text printing uses ESC
- "[T" to switch to code page 850 (Multilingual)
- which allows accurate text printing of almost all
- ISO Latin 1 characters.
-
- If you have a very new IBM compatible printer
- which can do 48 pin graphics using ESC "[g", you
- may be able to use the "Canon.BubbleJet" printer
- definition file. This is the same as the
- "IBM.Pro-X24E" file except that it provides 360
- DPI vertical resolution graphics modes (non
- interlaced) and the 360 DPI horizontal definitions
- are non interlaced.
-
- The "IBM.4019/17" and "IBM.4019/39" printer
- definition files are for the IBM LaserPrinter
- (PostScript), containing 17 fonts and 39 fonts
- respectively.
-
- The "IBM.4216" printer definition file is for the
- IBM Personal Pageprinter (PostScript).
