LASERJET IIP
Unpack this file to a blank floppy and then run sp-setup with the
floppy as the source. The following files will be unpacked onto
the floppy:
README This file.
MAIN.SPL A tiny version that only calls one printer file
-- use this as an example
HP2P.SPL The printer description library file
HP2PCMNT.SPL ditto, fully commented
ENV.MSS A specimen envelope file
COM10.SPM \
MONARCH.SPM | macros that put envelope formatter
DL.SPM | commands into your file, as above.
C5.SPM /
CASE.TCT Add to STANDARD.FMT to call the formatter
translations for PC850 and ECMA94 (case
statment not tested)
PC850.TCT A special translation file
ECMA94.TCT ditto.
Printer driver files -- for your convenience --
PC8PORT.SPP This and following were prepared for the
PC8LAND.SPP LaserJet IIP using sp-setup, assuming use
PC850POR.SPP of LPT1 as the output port. The 10-point
PC850LAN.SPP or elite size courier font was chosen as
PC8DNPOR.SPP the default font.
PC8DNLAN.SPP
ECMA94PO.SPP
ECMA94LA.SPP
The file HP2P.SPL contains a printer library file for the
Hewlett-Packard LaserJet IIP. This is an upgraded version of the
printer library available in HPLASER.SPL, reflecting the added
built-in fonts in the 2P.
HP2P.SPL does not contain any font descriptions for
plug-in cartridges; only the built-in fonts are included.
The descriptions for all fonts and envelope printers have
been tested, but not exhaustively (I have other things to do that
I ought to be doing instead of playing around with dang machines).
The Courier font can print italics and bold italics in
both the 10 and 12 pitch modes; Lineprinter prints neither bold
nor italic. I have, out of respect for the typewriter ancestry of
the Courier font, called the 10-pitch (12-point) font "Pica" and
the 12-pitch (10-point) font "Elite."
I expect it should be possible to condense this library
file by using the command -as- intelligently; I've not had the
time to play around with it.
Note that the PC850 and ECMA font sets include several
useful characters, especially the (C), (R), the paragraph symbol
(called the *Pilcrow* if you care to know), the section symbol,
and the +/- symbol as well as the vulgar fractions 1/4, 1/2, and
3/4. These can be printed using a formatter translation table if
a line is inserted in STANDARD.FMT, as supplied.
The translation table for the Roman8 font set is taken
directly from the HPLASER.SPL file. It shifts foreign characters
in the font set to ASCII codes that match the standard PC screen
set, so the document and the screen are both readable.
Note that envelopes must have an @@pageinit command at
the beginning of the envelope file. This kills the default 1/2
inch top margin provided by Sprint. See ENV.MSS for usage.
Also note that you must press the printer's On Line
button after formatting in order to print each envelope. The
envelope must be placed face down, flap to the right, on the
right edge of the MP tray.
