Installation
------------
Drag the driver to Devs/Printers and click on it in the Printer preferences
program. Single for Paper Type and DIN A4 for Paper Format and set
lines to 62. Select Save.
For PrinterGfx, select Floyd-Steinberg dithering, Integer scaling, Positive
Image, Horz. aspect and Colour. To save on ink use Threshold of around 5.
NB: If you were using an older version, remember to reboot first before using
the new driver otherwise it will use the one in memory! Remember to click on the
printer name in prefs otherwise it will default to Generic.
If you are experiencing problems with this driver send me email (see below).
History
-------
1.0 First release.
Tested okay on PPaint, WordWorth 6 (Normal mode) and Blacks Editor.
1.1 Added Close, ConvFunc functions for form feeds and fixed a compilation
warning (probably cause of Gurus on some machines).
NB: Crashes when using a graphics based Word Processor.
1.2 Fixed crashes in Word Processing output using b/w graphics - using
wrong pointer! Added form length command in DoSpecial. Seems much better!
1.3 Added Page Length command (missing in 1.2), output speeded up esp. WP output.
Other minor stuff.
1.4 Set Microweave on for 1440dpi as default. Added '020 version.
Giftware
--------
This driver is Giftware, you are not obliged to send anything but if you
want to contribute to further driver development for this printer and others
then send me either money (5UKP) or old software (Send me a list first and they
must be originals):
