IMAGEPRINT Notes & Updates
--------------------------
Extra fonts are available, in addition to the 6 fonts you
you get for the $20 registration fee. Each font is $5 each,
plus a $5 shipping and handling charge for each font order.
For example, one extra font is $10, two is $15, etc. Fonts
available are:
FONT0 Courier - std. business font
FONT2 Elite - best at 12 characters per inch
FONT3 Italic - elegant looking
FONT4 Orator - ideal for section headings
FONT5 Typewriter - like Epson "NLQ"
FONT8 OCRA - used on checks
FONT9 OCRB - solid font printer typeface
To see what these fonts look like, type "FONTDEMO"
*********************
To print the documentation, copy MANUAL.DOC to the printer
with the DOS COPY command:
COPY MANUAL.DOC PRN:
The documentation is formatted for 8 x 11 inch fan-fold paper.
Printing the documentation with IMAGEPRINT is NOT recommended.
There are many examples of IMAGEPRINT commands contained in it.
IMAGEPRINT will think they are backslash commands, rather than
backslash examples, and the documentation will print incorrectly.
*********************
If you want to try IMAGEPRINT before printing the documentation,
the syntax for "Typewriter mode" is
IMP80 CON:
The default font is FONT1 (Cubic). Input will come from the
console, or keyboard. The output will go to the default printer
LPT1:. If your printer is connected to another port, see the
documentation.
You are now in typewriter mode. You can type in a line, press
<RETURN>, and the line will print in correspondence quality.
To exit to the Operating System, press CTRL-Z or Function key
6 at the beginning of a line.
