-
- Purty was written to provide an easy way to change some common printer
- settings. Since it works via the PRT: device, it should be compatible
- with all printers listed in Preferences.
-
- When you run Purty, a small window with several gadgets will appear. Click
- on these gadgets to adjust printer settings. When you click outside Purty's
- window (de-activating it), it will send a series of control codes to the
- PRT: device to set up the printer. Files printed thereafter (using, e.g.,
- the CLI TYPE or the DirUtil PRINT TEXTFILES command) will be governed by
- the Purty settings.
-
- The three gadgets at upper left (NLQ, Bold and Italic) are on-off gadgets.
- They are initially off. They are highlighted when on.
-
- The three gadgets at upper right (Pitch, Lines per inch and Skip) are
- multiple-choice gadgets. Cycle among the choices by clicking on them.
-
- At the bottom are gadgets to set the left and right margins. Click and
- hold on the "<<" or ">>" gadgets to increase or decrease the margins.
-
- Purty doesn't check with Preferences when it starts. It just defaults to
- a common bunch of settings. Nor does Purty tell Preferences what the new
- settings are.
