DeskJet Manager Documentation:
DJM is a program which is supposed to be an alternative to the control panel
on the DeskJet series. DJM has only been tested on DJ500 and 500C. If you
have any other DeskJet, try this out and report the results to me, I'd be
very interested in hearing about them.
DJM can set your DeskJet to Draft or Standard quality, Portrait or Landscape
orientation, and issue a formfeed command (for when other programs fail to.)
You can reset the printer to it's most current mode/settings, or have it run
a self-test, which (if successful) also shows that the link between parallel
port and printer is intact. You may select between Courier 10, 17, and 20
CPI modes. Although the DeskJet can handle other CPI settings than those
three, I am supporting just those since this program is intended as a
equivilant to the control panel, not a printing utility. You may also feed
in an envelope or paper from their respective sources.
All you do is pass DJM the correct switches to change the above functions.
DJM will process all options, keeping the last specified in the event of a
contradiction between options, and then execute them all at once. FYI:
If you want to use the Reset option, DJM will reset the DeskJet FIRST, and
then pass all other options to the printer.
DJM defaults to LPT1. If you have your DeskJet on a different port, use the
/PORT: switch to select it. Legal ranges are COM1-4 and LPT1-4.
If you notice any bugs or errors, please try to report them to me. You can
reach me most easily on Exec-PC, (414) 789-4360 (14.4) or -4210 (2400.)
Thanks!
