- The StarJet SJ-48 inkjet printer may alternatively
- be used with the IBM.Pro-X24E file if the DIP
- switches are set for IBM emulation mode (switch 1
- OFF). However, all resolutions above 180 by 180
- dpi will be interlaced whereas using Epson mode
- and the Canon.BJC-800 file gives full 360 by 360
- dpi non interlaced.
-
- The LaserPrinter 4, 4III and 8, 8III StarScript
- options can be used with Postscript files as well
- as HP files.
-
- The "Star.DP-510" printer definition file is for
- the Star DP-510 printer. The maximum vertical
- resolution is specified in multiples of 1/144 inch
- using ESC "3" on this printer (instead of the
- usual 1/216 inch) and so vertical interlacing is
- limited to two passes (144 dpi resolution). ISO
- Latin 1 text characters are obtained using the
- unusual range of top bit set characters available
- on this printer, plus some use of backspace
- over-printing and some use of Epson standard ESC
- "R" international character set selections. There
- is no use of double strike mode (ESC "G" and ESC
- "H") or superscripts and subscripts (ESC "S" and
- ESC "T") as there are some problems with this
- printer which make these features difficult if not
- impossible to use reliably.
-
- For the Star DP-510 DIP switch 3 must be OFF
- (select 8 bit interface) and DIP switch 4 must be
- OFF (no auto line feed on carriage return). In the
- unlikely event that you need auto line feed set to
- ON, then you can use !PrintEdit to remove the
- trailing ",10" from the "Line skip:", "Line end
- 1:" and "Line end 2:" fields in all the graphics
- resolutions.
-
- The "Star.LC-200" printer definition file is for
- the Star LC-200 Colour printer in standard
- emulation (EDS A-1 ON) and other similar Star 9
- pin printers. The graphics definitions are the
- same as the Epson.EX-800 file. The text
- definitions are the same as the Epson.LQ-860 file,
- except that the LC-200's ability to select IBM
- Code Page 850 (Multi-lingual) is used to print ISO
- Latin 1 top bit set characters. The Legal
- international character set (ESC "R" 64) is also
- used. You should not attempt to print in colour
- unless your printer has a colour ribbon installed.
- Please see the Epson.Read_Me file for comments
- about printing in colour at interlaced resolutions
- (above 120 by 72 DPI).
-
- The "Star.LC24-200" printer definition file is for
- the Star LC24-200 Colour printer in standard
- emulation (EDS A-1 ON) and other similar Star 24
- pin printers. The graphics definitions are the
- same as the Epson.LQ-860 file. The text
- definitions are also the same as the Epson.LQ-860
- file, except that the LC24-200's ability to select
- IBM Code Page 850 (Multi-lingual) is used to print
- ISO Latin 1 top bit set characters. The Legal
- international character set (ESC "R" 64) is also
- used. You should not attempt to print in colour
- unless your printer has a colour ribbon installed.
- Please see the Epson.Read_Me file for comments
- about printing in colour at interlaced resolutions
- (above 180 by 180 DPI).
-
- The "Star.SJ-144" printer definition file is for
- use with the Star SJ-144 Colour printer. It
- consists of the graphics support from the
- Canon.BJC-800 file and the text support from the
- Star.LC24-200 file. The SJ-144 printer does work
- with the BJC-800 or BJC-600 files, but with the
- SJ-144 file you get better character mappings due
- to selecting Code Page 850 for top bit set
- characters.
