Section 4
Which Adaptation for Which Printer Type
The choice of the printer adaptation is extremely important. The most
widely purchased printer types are listed below. The adaptation files for the
printer
types begin with the letters "LQA" and can be found on the desktop
pages three (for 9 pin printers) and four (for 24 pin printers). When choosing
an adaptation file, it is very important to discern between 9 and 24 pin
printers.
If you own a 9 pin Epson-compatible printer you shouldn't need
any adaptation file at all. If you do need one, then copy that one only to
your work disk. This completes installation of the adaptation file. If you
have more adaptation files on your work disk, the program will only
recognize the first one found. If you've already read the section about the HQ
printer driver disk you shouldn't have any trouble rmding the right file.
If you do encounter difficulty, you can contact CMD Technical Support for
help. Let us know the printer and connection types.
9 pin printers, Epsonmcompatlble
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-80VC and SP-xxxAI)
Most 9 pin printers behave just like Epson printers and are thus referred
to
as Epson-compatible. You can check with your printer manual or dealer if
you're not sure. You can also try out a few, which usually brings instant
success. If your printer is Epson compatible, you will not need a "LQA" file
on your work disk. The program takes care of this itself.
Some SP-1200VC printers have a defective EPROM in their operating
system 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-l000, which must be parallel connected. In
addition, other, older printers may be mM-compatible. Use the adaptation
file "LQA mM 9" for these printers.
Some newer 9 pin Epson-compatible printers can be switched to the mM
mode and will work fine with an mM driver, but this is not practical.
