 Command:  Print/Setup/Printer                    < PSP > 
 Purpose:  Control the printer's internal status         
 Information:
     This option presents the current printer driver and the 
     command window to access the available selections.

     Selections in some drivers are:
        Font selection
        Margin setting
        Horizontal character spacing or pitch
        Vertical line spacing
        Downloadable block characters

     Variable settings like margins require an increment from you 
     after you select them.  Variable setting features recorded 
     in the Printer Recorder will request the increment at 
     printing time. 
 Comments: 
     Horizontal and vertical spacing is automatically set in 
     graphics modes. 

     Each printer driver is different based on available features 
     in the printer.

 Command:  Print/Setup/Recorder Setup             < PSR > 
 Purpose:  Switch--Control sending of current recording
 Information:
     The Printer Setup Recorder sends up to six selections from 
     the current printer driver to the printer each time a 
     weaving or design is printed. 

     When this switch is ON, the setup codes are sent; when it is 
     OFF, they are not sent.
 Comments: 
     You could turn the recorder ON for text mode printouts to 
     automatically download block characters and set a margin, 
     but turn the recorder OFF for graphics mode printouts.

 Command:  Print/Setup/Define Setup               < PSD > 
 Purpose:  Select the printer driver options to record
 Information:
     An ASCII code (American Standard Code for Information 
     Interchange) is a number which stands for a character or 
     other symbol and is transmitted to the printer to print the 
     corresponding character. 

     Special series of ASCII codes can change the printer's 
     margin settings and other aspects of its current status. 

     Each option on the Printer Driver represents a series of 
     ASCII codes which are sent to the printer to set it up. 

     This feature presents the Printer Driver screen also shown 
     with Print/Setup/Printer along with a display of the current 
     recording.  You can then re-record up to six options. 
 Comments: 
     The same printer setup recording may be appropriate for many 
     weavings.  The setup is saved with all weavings.

     A setup recorded for one printer driver will yield 
     unpredictable results for a different driver.

     After you Define Setup, turn Recorder Setup ON so the codes 
     are sent to the printer at printing time.

 Command:  Print/Setup/ASCII Codes                < PSA > 
 Purpose:  Send ASCII codes to the printer immediately
 Information:
     See Print/Setup/Define Setup for definition of ASCII code.

     With this feature ASCII codes are transmitted immediately 
     to the printer.  This allows you to test the affect of a 
     command string before adding it to a printer driver.
 Comments: 
     For example, if you always set the left margin to 34, you 
     could add the codes for that setting as a menu selection. 
     You can edit Patternland printer drivers with a word 
     processor that produces ASCII files or append lines with 
     File/Write.  Many drivers have unused menu options you can 
     use, or you can redefine one you don't use.   See the driver 
     "Standard.PDV" for more information on format.

 Command:  Print/Setup/Immediate Form Feed        < PSI > 
 Purpose:  Send ASCII code #12, causing the page to advance   
 Information:
     Ejects the current page.
 Comments: 
     You can also eject a page by taking your printer off-line 
     and pressing its FormFeed button.

     Print/Modes/Automatic Form Feed controls whether or not the 
     page is advanced after each printout.

 Command:  Print/Setup/Sample Setup Printout      < PSS > 
 Purpose:  Print several lines to show current setup   
 Information:
     Prints several lines of a selection of characters.
 Comments: 
     You can check the character pitch, line feed, margin, and 
     downloaded characters with the sample printout.

 Command:  Print/Setup/Characters Printout        < PSC > 
 Purpose:  Print a range of ASCII codes/characters
 Information:
     You can specify which characters to print, how many 
     characters per line, and how many lines per character. 
 Comments: 
     This allows you to see your printer's graphics characters.

 Command:  Print/Setup/Load Printer Driver        < PSL > 
 Purpose:  Use a different driver than installed driver
 Information:
     You can control any of the supported printers simply by 
     loading the appropriate driver file from disk.

     Setup/Printers just copies the appropriate file to a new 
     file called Patland.PDV.  Patternland always reads the 
     current Patland.PDV file on startup. 
 Comments: 
     This feature allows you to use several different printers, 
     for example a Laserjet and a color dot matrix.
     
     You might want several drivers for the same printer if you 
     create your own selection of downloadable blocks.  You could 
     use several different drivers with this feature.
