24
pin Printers, NEC:compatlble
This includes printers from
NEC
and
practically
all
so-called Epson-
compatible
and
NEC-compatible printers
like
Star, Panasonic KXP,
Seikosha, Fujitsu, and Okidata (except SL-80VC - see 9 pin printers).
Most so-called Epson-compatible
24
pin
printers
are
in
reality NEC-
compatible. Use, therefore, primarily NEC drivers
and
fall back
to
"Eps"
only
if
needed.
Do
not use the "EpN" drivers, as they only work with the
very newest Epson
and
Epson-compatible printers.
The SL-80VC is a specially constructed Seikosha printer which has a 24 pin
print head but otherwise behaves like a 9 pin printer.
24
pin Printers from Epson (original Epso" printers)
The Epson printers present some problems
due
to
the lack
of
a software
command in their operating system. Old Epson 24
pin
printers
and
LQ-4OO
models cannot use "med"
or
"high" drivers. Best results can
be
obtained by
using "Eps" "low", "low+" and
"low·"
drivers.
If
you are a fortunate owner
of
-in LQ-550
or
a
new
LQ-850/860 (or
1050/2550) you can use the "EpN" drivers.
The
"Eps" dtivers also work
with these printers.
24
pin Printers, IBM-compatible
A few 24 pin printers are mM-compabble (usually very old 24 pin printers).
Use the
"mM
OC" drivers and a parallel connection in these cases. Many
new 24 pin printers
can
be
switched to IBM mode.
It
is
usually better,
however, not to use these printers in such modes.
Problems which may occur
If
the printout is horizontally ragged, make sure that die condensed print
mode on your printer
is
switched off.
If
you are unable to produce qu8nty results with
1hese
drivers,
or
are unable
to get your printer to
work
with this package,
please
