Xerox 4045 printer driver V1.0
© Bob Schulien 1993
INFO
----
This is V1.0 of a printer driver for printers supporting the Xerox 2700
command set. The 4045 (a hulking 8 PPM laser unit), I believe, is the
most popular member of this family, so it got the name.
The focus of this version was to get the dot graphic functions working.
I believe this is working correctly. Printing from Professional Page
V2.1 and Tax Break have been successful in 300X300 graphics mode.
INSTALLATION
------------
Simply copy the Xerox_4045 driver program to the SYS:devs/printers
directory and then select it with the prefs/printer tool. The driver
supports some of the items in the 'printer' & 'printergfx' preferences
panels and doesn't support others. Pay attention to the margin settings
on the 'printer' panel when changing the print orientation on the
'printergfx' panel. The driver can only support the two resident fonts
that are built into the printer. Make sure DIP switch A3 is OFF and DIP
switch A4 is ON. This combination activates the 'AUTO CR' feature of the
printer to make it conform to the way the Amiga OS likes having a new line
when just the line feed control code is sent. The driver depends on this.
Double check that 'AUTO CR' is printed on the configuration sheet that is
generated when the printer powers up.
DISTRIBUTION
------------
This printer driver is giftware. If you use it and like it, send some $$$
