Printer Adjustments
The DIP switches on some serial connected printers may need to be switched
to an Epson, mM or "ASCll" mode before use. IT not, they may print using
an inferior "Commodore" mode. (the HQ drivers and the GEOS LQ Print
System do not support the use of the Commodore printing modes). Please
refer
to the section of your printer manual which deals with DIP switch
settings before
using Perfect Print.
When using the HQ drivers and the GEOS LQ Print System, the so-called
"Auto-Linefeed" is meaningless,
as the program switches it off. The only
known exception to this is the MPS-1230. Here the "Auto-Linefeed" must
be manually switched off.
If your printout is horizontally ragged, then switch off the elite or condensed
style
using the appropriate DIP switches. The "OC" (geoCable) and 24 pin
drivers and some of the Print System adaptation files do this automatically.
Many 24 pin printers can be switched to an mM mode. The 9 and 24 pin
mM drivers will then work properly, but the NEC/Epson 24 pin drivers
will not.
The Serial MPS-1230 Printer
The serial connected Commodore MPS-1230 printer may require special
adjustment before it
becomes Epson-compatible. This can be changed in the
following nianner:
Printer Emulated: Epson FX-80
Open Mode: 4 P.C. Commands,S Commodore Comm.
Character Spacing: 10
Carriage Return: CR=CR
The adjustment of these parameters takes place in a "dialog" with the
printer.
Your printer manual explains how to accomplish this.
