"ReadMe" - Additions to the manual
Please also see our website for most recent information on new versions,
driver updates and bug fixes.
Additions to Chapter...
Chapter 2: Installation
=======================
The installation procedure needs Installer V43.3 or higher!
--------------------------
Installer V43.3 is included with the Turboprint disk. If you are using the
"MCP" utility, you will have to copy the new Installer to your hard disk
or deactivate MCP temporarily.
Installation on a Draco computer by MacroSystem
-----------------------------------------------
Turboprint can be installed on a Draco computer. However, IrseeSoft can't
guarantee the functionality, as the Draco is not 100% Amiga compatible.
Before you install Turboprint on a Draco, you must carry out the
"personalization" procedure on a regular Amiga, as the Draco can't write
to Amiga floppy disks.
Usage of Turboprint with a PicassoIV graphics card / the Picasso96 driver
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
In connection with older versions of the Picasso96 driver software the
following problems may occur:
Problem: Printout from applications like FinalWriter, Wordworth, PageStream
is in wrong colours (e.g. background in dark green)
Solution: Install the latest version of Picasso96
Problem: Text display in the GraphicsPublisher is incorrect.
Text is invisible or charactes are "cut off".
Solution: Install the latest version of Picasso96
or choose a 16 or 24 bit screen in the GraphicsPublisher.
Usage with the PD software 'Executive'
--------------------------------------
If you use the task scheduler 'Executive', you have to make the following
settings to be able to print from FinalWriter:
Add a new rule in the Executive editor:
Task = FinalWriter
Parameter = TASk+CHILDTASK and NOSCHEDULE
Priority = Leave it alone
Chapter 3.2: TurboPrefs - Index Card "Config"
=============================================
New printer drivers for some printers
-------------------------------------
Canon_BJC7000new, Epson_StylusPhoto...new, HP_DeskJet9xxnew
For these printers there are two drivers: the existing drivers
from Turboprint7.10 and new ones, that end on "new".
The new drivers offer better print quality but don't support
the printer's built-in text mode.
Of course you can print text via the GfxTxt mode - just the
printing speed is slower.
Please see also the chapter "10. Hints for printers" in this ReadMe file.
Changed settings for some printer drivers
-----------------------------------------
(Canon BJC 1000,2000,3000,6xxx,7xxx and drivers that end on "new"):
- The setting "Quality" has been replaced by "Cartridge" -
"Cartridge" is used to switch between 4 color and
photo cartridge.
- The setting "Density" now combines the print
resolution (dots per inch) selection and the
quallity selection (low, medium, high, ...).
I.e. the quality is selected and an info box
below the "Density" cycle gadget gives
information on the print resolution and method
(i.e. ink save mode, drop modulation mode, ...).
- The paper size selection now includes printer
specific sizes, e.g. envelopes or "banner paper".
Chapter 7: GraphicsPublisher
============================
Changed print menu for some printer drivers
-------------------------------------------
(Canon BJC 1000,2000,3000,6xxx,7xxx and drivers that end on "new"):
- Additional information on the selected print density
is available in the "Print" window.
- Additional printer specific paper sizes are available
in the "Page setup" window.
Problems when printing
----------------------
If the text objects are being printed too small, there is probably not
enough free RAM memory available during printout. The wrong text size
is caused by a bug in the OS routines that generate CompuGraphic outline
fonts.
Solution: Make sure that there is enough memory available during printout
or open the GraphicsPublisher's settings requester and reduce the value
"Text / Max.Print". Thus, text objects will be printed in slightly lower
quality but in the correct size.
Chapter 9: GNU Ghostscript
==========================
Turboprint comes with GNU Ghostscript 4.03, not the current
Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10. The reason for this is that the Aladdin
license does not allow the bundling of Ghostscript with commercial
software - the GNU licences allows this if some rules are respected.
Aladdin Ghostscript 5.10 from Aminet (internet or Aminet CDs) does NOT
support 24bit printing with Turboprint, as the code for Turboprint support
has to be compiled together with the other Ghostscript sources. A version
of Ghostscript 5.10 with Turboprint support and also the sourcecode that
has been added will be available on our WEB pages.
Chapter 10: Hints for Printers
==============================
Canon BJC printers - head cleaning & cartridge alignment
--------------------------------------------------------
There is a "BJC-Utility" for newer BJC printers (BJC1000, BJC2000, BJC4200
and higher).
The BJC-Utility is programmed as an "Installer" script, so make sure
that Installer V43.3 or higher is accessible in the current drawer or
"C:".
Canon BJ monochrome inkjet printers
-----------------------------------
The emulation must be set to "Canon BJ" mode at the printer (DIP switches,
see your printer's manual).
The international charset must be set to "Set 2" at the printer
(DIP switch).
In TurboPrint, choose the driver "Canon_BJ".
Newer models (BJ-10ex, BJ-2xx, BJ-3xx) can also be used in EPSON LQ mode,
which offers more fonts. To use EPSON LQ mode, the printer must be switched
to "LQ" mode (DIP switches, see your printer's manual). Choose the
"Epson_LQ,SQ" driver in TurboPrint.
Canon BJC colour inkjet printers
--------------------------------
The emulation must be set to "LQ" mode at the printer (DIP switches,
see your printer's manual).
Canon BJC - newer models without DIP switches (BJC 210/240/4100/4200, ...)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
These printers must be configured to the "LQ-Europe/Asia" mode.
The following procedure must be carried out once:
When switching on the printer, keep the POWER button pressed. Soon the
printer will start "beeping". Wait until you have heard 8 beep sounds,
then release the POWER button.
To check your printer's configuration, switch off the printer. Then keep
the POWER button pressed until you have heard 2 beep sounds. The printer
will then print a status sheet.
Canon BJC 240, 250, 4200 and 4300 with photo cartridge
------------------------------------------------------
Use the driver Canon_BJC240photo or Canon_BJC4200photo when printing with
the photo cartridge.
For best printouts use the "Canon HR-101" or a similiar inkjet paper.
Unfortunately, we don't know any glossy papers that are suitable for
printouts with the photo cartridge.
Canon BJC 1000, 2000, 3000, 6xxx, 7xxx
--------------------------------------
These printers have no built-in text mode at all.
Text can be printed via Turboprint's "Text as Graphics" mode, which can
be enabled in the "Turboprefs" settings menu, index card "Text"
(chapter 3.5 in the manual).
This only applies to programs that use the "text mode" like text editors
or DirOpus.
Canon BJC 6000/6100
-------------------
- There are five density levels:
180x180dpi - for draft printing only, saves ink
360x360dpi - for drafts with a quite qood color
reproduction
360x360dpi + "drop modulation" (3 different drop sizes)
for final printouts on plain paper
especially for black & white documents
of documents with text + graphics
(very high speed when black & white
parts of page are printed)
720x720dpi - for final printouts on inkjet paper
1440x720dpi - for maximum print quality on inkjet paper
- Set the Cartridge gadget to "Color" if the black
cartridge is used and to "Photo" if the photo cartridge
is used (left print head, the right print head always
carries a 3-color cartridge).
Canon BJC 7000new/7100
----------------------
- There are six density levels:
300x300dpi inksave - for draft printing only
300x300dpi - for drafts with a quite good color
reproduction
300x300dpi + "drop modulation" (4 different drop sizes)
- for final printouts on plain paper
600x600dpi quick - for black & white documents
or documents with text + graphics
(very high speed when black & white
parts of page are printed)
600x600dpi - for final printouts on inkjet paper
1200x600dpi - for maximum print quality,
only available on inkjet paper
- Set the Cartridge gadget to "Color" if the 3-color
cartridge is used and to "Photo" if the 6-color
cartridge is used (right print head, the left print
head always carries a black cartridge).
Canon BJC 2000
--------------
- There are five density levels:
180x180dpi - for draft printing only, saves ink
360x360dpi Quick - for drafts with a quite qood color
reproduction
recommended for black & white documents or
for documents with text + graphics
(high speed when black & white
parts of page are printed)
360x360dpi -
720x360dpi -
360x360dpi + "drop modulation" (3 different drop sizes)
highest quality - quality is actually
higher than at 720x360dpi
Canon BJC 1000
--------------
- There are three density levels:
180x180dpi - for draft printing only, saves ink
360x360dpi Quick - for drafts with a quite qood color
reproduction
recommended for black & white documents or
for documents with text + graphics
(high speed when black & white
parts of page are printed)
360x360dpi - highest quality
Citizen Printiva600c
--------------------
When making colour printouts, please note the following:
* Spool files
The driver creates four spool file for the four colour components of a page.
You can change the path of the spool files. Enter the path and filename
in the text gadget "print to file" on the file card "printer".
It is recommended to spool to a hard drive, as the spool files can become
very large.
Example: If you have entered "Name" = "Work:Prt",
four spoolfiles named "Prt.0", "Prt.1", "Prt.2" and "Prt.3" will be
created on the hard drive partition named "Work:".
Epson Stylus Color Series
-------------------------
The unprintable margin at the top of the paper can be set to
0, 1 or 2 lines (index card Config / Printer-Settings).
Epson Stylus Color II
---------------------
If you use plain paper, the black ink may bleed into the coloured inks.
This effect depends on the kind of paper you use.
To avoid bleeding, use an inkjet paper or choose the driver
"Epson_StylusColorIIs". This driver generates black by mixing yellow,
magenta and cyan inks.
Epson Stylus Color IIs
----------------------
For colour prints, choose the driver "Epson_StylusColorIIs".
For b/w prints, choose the driver "Epson_Stylus820+IIs".
The maximum resolution of the printer is 360x720dpi.
Epson Stylus Color 400, 600, 800 and Photo
------------------------------------------
* Inkjet papers:
You can use all non-glossy inkjet papers with these printers.
In Turboprefs please choose "720dpi Paper" or "360dpi Paper".
Glossy inkjet papers: At the moment we can only recommend EPSON's
"High Quality Glossy Paper", "Glossy Film" or "Photo Paper".
We have tested other glossy papers, but the ink doesn't dry.
* 1440dpi mode (only Stylus Color 600 und 800):
The 720x1440dpi mode must be enabled in the "printer settings".
The main benefit of the 1440dpi mode is a printout with almost no
visible "banding" effects.
In most application programs the 1440dpi mode is shown as 720x720dpi.
This is no error. To save time and buffer memory, print data is
sent to the driver at 720x720dpi and then converted to 1440x720dpi.
The printer operates at 1440dpi internally.
Epson_StylusPhoto...new drivers
-------------------------------
These drivers for Stylus Photo, Photo700, Photo750, PhotoEX and
Photo1200 produce a slower printout with reduced "banding" - especially
in the 1440dpi mode.
Epson Stylus Color 300
----------------------
This printer has a very limited text mode, i.e. it prints only
uppercase letters. This only applies to programs that use the
"text mode" like text editors or DirOpus.
Please print text with a word processor like FinalWriter or WordWorth.
HP-Deskjet printers - Head cleaning & cartridge alignment
---------------------------------------------------------
With the new DeskJet printers, it is no longer possible to start
the print head cleaning or cartridge alignment procedure
at the printer.
For this purpose we programmed the "DeskJet-Utility" you can find
in the "Extra" drawer of Turboprint.
HP-Deskjet - 540C, 4xx, 6xx and 850/870/890
-------------------------------------------
The maximum resolution of these printers (600x300dpi resp. 600x600dpi)
can be used only for black&white printouts.
If you get b/w printouts instead of colour printouts when using
applications like Final Writer or Wordworth, you will have
to reduce the print resolution or "density" within the application.
HP_DeskJet930/950/970new drivers
--------------------------------
These drivers support a maximum resolution of 1200x1200dpi / 2400x1200dpi.
This resolution is only available for glossy inkjet papers!
HP_Deskjet 880C,895C
--------------------
These printers support real 600dpi color printing.
At 600dpi, however, the printer's internal text mode
is not available. Please switch to 300dpi or use the
GfxTxt emulation mode that replaces text by graphics.
HP-Deskjet 850C,870C,890C
-------------------------
At 300x300dpi a "colour resolution enhancement technique" is used,
which varies the ink drop size and thus produces finer dithering.
If you print on glossy inkjet papers or transparencies or if you get
poor results on other inkjet papers, it is important to switch the
paper type to "glossy" or "transparency". This means that
black will be generated as a mixture of yellow, magenta and cyan.
The maximum color resolution is 300x300dpi with 4 different
dot sizes (looks almost like 600dpi printout) and not real 600dpi
as stated in the printer manual.
HP_Deskjet 660C,690C,694C
-------------------------
If you print on glossy inkjet papers or transparencies or if you get
poor results on other inkjet papers, it is important to switch the
paper type to "glossy" or "transparency". This means that
black will be generated as a mixture of yellow, magenta and cyan.
HP_Deskjet 600C
---------------
If you use a "diffuse" dithering pattern, you should disable the switch
"pure black". You will get more brilliant colours.
HP Deskjet 690C,694C with photo cartridge
-------------------------------------------
Use the driver "HP_DeskJet690,694photo" when printing with the photo
cartridge.
For best printouts use the "HP Photo Paper" or a non-glossy paper, e.g.
"HP Premium Inkjet Paper".
Most other glossy papers will produce poor results.
Lexmark 4076 - ExecJet IIc
--------------------------
Choose the "parallel" instead of the "turbo-par" port (filecard "printer")
if printouts are slow.
This is necessary because the printer's parallel interface doesn't use all
control lines.
Fargo Primera / Pro / FotoFUN
-----------------------------
This driver is no longer included due to space restrictions.
It can be ordered from IrseeSoft.
Chapter 11: Hints for applications
==================================
Final Writer / Wordworth
------------------------
Please also read the notes in your manual on page 88.
Possible problems and their solution:
* Printout is slow
You are probably printing in the highest resolution.
FW / WW have their own resolution setting which overrides the
setting in Turboprefs. In FinalWriter, open the "Print..." requester
and set the resolution in the "Graphics..." section.
In WordWorth, choose "Print Settings" and select the resolution using
the "Density" slider.
* Printout shows weird patterns only
If you have installed a PicassoIV graphics board, please obtain the
latest Picasso96 driver update.
* FinalWriter hangs after a part of the page has been printed
If you use the PD software "Executive", please read the notes in section
2 of this file.
Final Writer / WordWorth with HP Deskjet
---------------------------------------
* Top margin is too large on the first printed page
We recommend to set the top text margin to zero (TurboPrefs, file card
"Text"). This way you will get the correct top margin.
* Printout is in b/w only.
If you get b/w printouts instead of colour printouts on a DeskJet
540/660/850 you will have to reduce the print resolution
(see "Hints for printers").
