Special Notes
The Roland 1212A is an excellent printer made from quality components
and producing high quality printouts. Unfortunately the command set
was taken from the Roland 1215, given a lobotomy, and then installed
into the 1212A. These missing features (NLQ in any pitch, auto just-
ification, etc.) means that the 1212A cannot live up to its potential.
The Roland.1212A printer driver implements most of the features
available on the Roland 1212A. Since some features, like NLQ and
Proportional Font, are not compatible with each other and/or don't
exist in all pitches, the driver contains special coding to prevent
the user from trying to get simultaneous access to these incompatible
modes. This software compromise was chosen in preference to the
strange hardware compromises implemented by Roland.
