LZSETUP
Memory Resident HP Laserjet Setup
adapted by Guy Gallo from SETUP.COM by Jeff Prosise
The source listing of the original SETUP can be found in the
June 24, 1986 issue of PC-Magazine, along with a discussion
of the program's workings.
I. Loading:
simply type LZSETUP at the DOS prompt (or place it in you
autoexec.bat)
Nothing happens. No logo. No indication that anything has
changed.
BUT: if you press (simultaneously) the Control <Ctrl> key
and the Right-Shift key, you will be presented with a menu.
LZSETUP uses the Unshifted, Shifted, and Ctrl-Function keys.
II. Function Keys:
F1 Courier 12pt | the default font
F2 TmsRmn 10pt -|
F3 TmsRmn 8pt |- requires a font cartridge B or F
F4 Helv 14pt -|
F5 LinePrinter - 8.5 point portrait (requires a P&L cartridge)
F6 Bold |
F7 Italic |
F8 Under On/Off - toggles Underline mode on and off
F9 Wrap On/Off - toggle word wrap mode on and off
F10 Prim/Sec - toggles the active font between Primary
and Secondary
III. Shift-Function Keys:
Pressing the Shift-Function key combination sets the Secondary
Font (F1-F7); turns Underline and Wrap modes off; and toggles
Secondary Font into active position
IV. Control-Function Keys:
Reset - Reset the printer to power up defaults
Manual - next page must be fed manually
Cassette - returns to cassette feed
Eject page - ejects the current page (if there is one half printed)
6lpi/66l - sends a code to allow 66 lines per page
8lpi/84l - prints 8 lines per inch, 84 lines per letter page
Land 12pt - Landscape orientation Courier 12pt
Land 8.5pt - Landscape orientation LinePrinter 8.5
LeftMrg 10 - sets the left margin to 10 at the current font width
Print test - Sends a string to the printer to show current font
V. Patches and Problems:
1. Because most LaserJets are serial printers, one important
feature of SETUP does not work: if the printer is OFF-LINE
you will not be warned, you will not hear a beep; the system
will simply freeze.
SO, if by chance you call up LZSETUP and the printer is off
or off-line, simply turn it on, and the code will be sent and
you will then be able to return to your application.
2. LZSETUP sends its codes through LPT1:. The standard thing
for most applications that do not directly address the serial
port, is for you to redirect a parallel port using the MODE
command. If you wish to change the port that LZSETUP writes
to (that is, if you have other printers at LPT1:) you can
patch the program in the following way:
debug lzsetup <CR>
-e 0C44 X<CR> (Where X is 1 for LPT2:/or 2 for LPT3:)
-e 0C4E X<CR>
-w<CR>
-q<CR>
