User`s manual

The LaserJet+ omits characters that overlap the left margin of the paper, but the emulator
prints that portion of the character that does not extend into the margin.
The LaserJet+ allows you to insert commands to halt printing so that you can insert paper or
envelopes manually. The emulator interprets those commands as form feeds.
The emulator does not print the following eleven characters from the LaserJet+ Roman-8
symbol set:
___________________________________________________________
Decimal code Symbol description
___________________________________________________________
127 gray patch for rubout
176 overline
179 degree symbol
227 uppercase D with stroke (Eth)
228 lowercase D with stroke (eth)
240 uppercase Thorn
241 lowercase thorn
247 one-fourth symbol
248 one-half symbol
252 solid black square
254 plus/minus sign
Applications that produce justified text with the LaserJet+ versions of Helvetica (Helv) and
Times Roman (Tms Rmn) fonts may generate slightly ragged output on the emulator.
While the LaserJet+ prints characters in the closest available point size and pitch for each
typeface, the emulator scales the font to the specified size.
The line printer font, which is 16.67 pitch Courier, appears with a height of 7.2 points when
printed with the emulator, rather than 8.5 points as printed by the LaserJet+.
The Control-C and Control-T key combinations, which you can normally use to interrupt
printing or query the status of the LaserWriter IIntx, cannot be used with the emulator.

Changing parameters
Frequently, when you prepare your computer to send information to another computer or a
printer, you need to set several parameters to make sure that information is not garbled or lost
during transmission. Earlier, when you typed the first MS-DOS Mode command, you set the data
transfer rate, parity check, number of data bits, and number of stop bits to match the settings
on your LaserWriter II.
You don't need to know what all those parameters mean. In fact, few computer users do.
However, when you are using the 25-pin connector, it is important that the parameter settings
be the same on your MS-DOS computer and on the LaserWriter II.
You may never need to reset any of those parameters. However, if for any reason you wish to
