The GEOS LO Print System
"S 1", "S4", "S5", "S7", "GC" "GCSlow" or "GCFasl" "GC" indicates a
parallel connection. A parallel connected printer should use the "LQConnect
GC" file. If this does not work, then try "LQConnect GCSlow".
The number following the "S" in
the serial connection files is the secondary
address.
If you've successfully installed one of the HQ printer drivers then
use
one of the connection files which uses the same "S" number. You may
also check the following table to
see which file is the correct one. Pay
special attention to the interface and/or printer
type. Choose and then copy
the fitting file
to your work rusk. If you're trying out several files,·
remember that the program will use the frrst
of these files it fmds on your·
work disk.
Most serially interfaced printers use the secondary address number five.
These printers will not normally need any connection file as the Print
System is programmed to use this secondary address. Printers with a regular
serial interface will not generally require an "LQConnect" fIle.
LQConnect S4
LQConnect S7
LQConnect S5
MPS-1230
Epson printers with Epson Interface, as well as
printers with built-in serial interfaces such as Star
printers,
and Seikosha-VC model printers (i.e., SP-
1200VC, SL-80VC)
All Xetec
and Cardco (Supra) interfaces
As mentioned, most interfaces use 5 as a secondary address for Transparent
mode, but that number does vary. Consult your interface manual.
If your printer uses a different device number than four, simply open the
"LQConnect" file under geoWrite and make the change in the document (all
configuration files
of the Print System are geoWrite documents). Changes
are rarely necessary and should only
be done when you're absolutely certain
(Please keep a back-up
of the original- just in case!).
If the printout with the serial cable is too slow, we recommend a parallel
connection to the user
port This is, of course, only possible if your printer
has
the appropriate parallel (centronics) jack. Some printers MUST be
parallel connected in order to achieve improved print quality (MPS 1000).
You may try
out the "LQConnect GCSlow" file, if you're having problems
witll the parallel connection. "LQConnect GCFast"
speeds up data transfer a
bit,
but doesn't work with every printer.
