INTRODUCTION
LASR_MAN prints ASCII text files on a laser or ink jet printer. From 1 to
200 text pages may be printed on a single sheet of paper - the more text
pages, the smaller the text page size. Support is provided for: portrait
and landscape orientation; font sizes of 10, 12, 17, 23 and 33 characters
per inch (cpi); letter, legal, A4, and executive paper size; single side
or duplex printing; normal or book style; books may be folded vertically
or horizontally; binding margins on either edge; and user set page
margins.
Other options include selection of only files that have been changed,
page titles, substitution of spaces for tabs, underlining, covers, a
half-tone "rubber stamp", print font selection, sheet borders, and a
variety of option switches.
Options may be specified as an environment variable, on the command line,
in an option file or by menu selection while the program is running.
Files to be printed may be selected in the same manner.
LASR_MAN prints only unformatted ASCII files. If you use it to print a
.COM file or a document stored in coded form by a word processor such as
WordPerfect, the output will look strange.
The only control characters that are passed to the printer are carriage
return (13), line feed (10) and form feed (12). The tab character (9) is
converted to spaces. All other control characters (0-31) may either be
printed or replaced by a set character. Normal characters (32-255) are
printed 'as-is'.

PRINTER
The program can supports both LaserJet and DeskJet printers. LaserJet
support is denoted on this menu by "LJet" and DeskJet by "DJet".
A variety of program parameters are affected by the choice of printers.
These include PAPER SIZE, PAPER SOURCE and PRINT FONT TO USE, both for
the individual fonts and globally.
The print fonts available for the various printer selections include:
LaserJet +.....Internal and Type 1 soft fonts - a 192 character soft font
set (ASCII 32-127 and 160-255), in both portrait and
landscape, is required by some of the early LaserJet
models and their compatibles. In general, use Type 1 fonts
only if your printer will not work with Type 2.
LaserJet II....Internal and Type 2 soft fonts - ASCII characters 32-255,
in both portrait and landscape, is required for LaserJet
II and compatibles that cannot rotate a portrait font to
landscape. (HP IID/P can rotate fonts)
LaserJet III/IV..Internal and Type 2 soft fonts, in portrait mode only,
for LaserJet IID/IIP/III/IV and compatibles. THIS IS THE
NORMAL DEFAULT.
DeskJet, 0K....Internal fonts only, required for DeskJet, DeskJet +, and
DeskJet 500 and compatibles. These printers, without add-
itional memory, are not capable of accepting soft fonts.
DeskJet,·256K..Internal and soft fonts for DeskJet printers with at least
a 256K memory cartridge, and compatibles.
This PRINTER selection function will not change these program parameters
until a different printer is selected. At that time, all of the affected
parameters are set to their default values.
->To leave the PRINTER as currently selected, press [ESCAPE].
->To change the PRINTER to the desired one, press its highlighted letter
or move the highlight bar to it and press [ENTER]. A print change message
will then be displayed.
->To leave the printer as currently set, press [ESCAPE].
->To change the printer, press any other key.
DEFAULT PRINT FONTS TO USE
The default PRINTER FONTS used for the five possible output pitches may
be selected by use of this option.
Most laser/ink jet printers have internal 10/12/16 cpi fonts (although
they may not be able to print these three fonts in both Portrait and
Landscape). Use of the internal fonts, or those from a cartridge, will
produce higher print speeds than using the soft fonts, due to the
required soft font download time.
The choices, for each of the five pitches, are:
INTERNAL......Use an internal printer font, one from a cartridge, or a
previously loaded soft font. Do NOT download a soft font.
EXTERNAL......Use a downloaded soft font for this pitch.
The numbers given after the TYPE of font is the default TYPEFACE that
will normally be used. This default information is contained in the
configuration file, and the TYPEFACE may also be changed via the OPTIONS
function.

letter or move the highlight bar to the desired PITCH and press [ENTER].
->To return to the SETUP menu, press [ESCAPE].
MOUSE PARAMETERS MENU
The MOUSE MENU allows the mouse parameters to be modified. Mouse speed
and sensitivity are controlled by the number of mouse "mickeys" per
screen pixel in both the horizontal (X) and vertical (Y) directions. The
larger these values are, the slower the mouse speed and the less
sensitive it will be. The default values are X=128 and Y=64.
->·To change the HORIZONTAL MOUSE sensitivity, press [X]. Now edit the
MICKEYS/PIXLE as desired. Press [ENTER] to accept the edited value or
[ESCAPE] to restore the previous value.

MICKEYS/PIXLE as desired. Press [ENTER] to accept the edited value or
[ESCAPE] to restore the previous value.
->·To swap the functions of the LEFT and RIGHT MOUSE BUTTONS, press [L].
