The
HQ
Drivers
9 pin printers, Epson-compatlble
Practically all 9 pin printers such
as
Epson
FX/LX, Commodore MPS
(from 1200 up), Star, Panasonic, Citizen, Fujitsu, new Okidata,
and
Seikosha (from SP-1200VC up, also SL-SOVC and SP-xxxAI)
Most
9
pin
printers behave
just
like those produced by Epson
and
are
referred
to
as Epson-compatible. Check your manual
or
your dealer
if
there
is any question concerning your printers compatibility
or
simply
try
out an
Epson printer driver
to see
if
your printer is compatible.
If
you own one
of
the above printers choose a driver designated "9" and "Eps".
We
recommend
"HQ9 med Eps".
Some
SP-1200VC printers have a defective operating system EPROM
which needs
to
be
replaced before they will run properly.
9 pin printers, IBM-compatible
MPS-1000 (parallel only), some Panasonic, Okidata, Tandy
and
other, often
older printer models. Also some Star models when in certain modes.
Some older printers are not Epson-compatible, but rather mM-compatible.
This
is
the case with the MPS-1000, which must be parallel connected. In
addition, other, older printers may
be mM-compatible. A printer driver with
the abbreviations "IBM" with "GC" (because
of
the parallel connection)
must
be
used here.
Soine newer 9 pin Epson-compatible printers can
be switched to
an
mM
mode
and
will work fine with an
mM
driver,
but
this
may not be practical.
9
pin
Printers,
old
Star printers
(SG
and
others)
These printers are
no~
or
not completely Epson-compatible and can only
reach a vertical resolution
of
144 dpi.
The
main difference
is
in the paper
feed mechanics. When using Epson drivers with these printers, horizontal
white lines occur between printed lines. Using an "SO" drive! will correct
this problem.
Other
9/8/7
pin
Printers
This includes Seikosha SP-180VC, SP-1000VC, very old Star printers,
MPS 801-803, Epson OX-80 (serial)
If
you
own
one
of
these printers, you may not
be
able to use Perfect Print
at
all. There
are
simply too many insufficiencies which do not allow a higher
resolution
printout
than with the normal OEOS printer drivers.
We
recommend that you consider purchasing a new
or
used Epson-compatible
