The
GEOS
LO
Print
System
9 pin Printers, old Star printers
(SG
and others)
These printers are not,
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 the Print System without an adaptation file
with these printers, horizontal lines occur between printed lines. Using a
"LQA Oldmechanics" adaptation fIle for most Epson-compatible
printers
or
"LQA
Star
SG" for a Star SG printer will rectify this problem.
Other
9/8n
pin Printers
This includes Seikosha SP-180VC,
SP-l000VC,
very old Star printers,
MPS 801-803, Epson GX-80 (serial)
If
you
own
one
of
these printers, you may not
be
able
to
use GEOS
LQ
at
all. There are simply too many insufficiencies which do not allow a higher
resolution
printout
than with the normal GEOS printer drivers.
We
recommend you purchase a new
or
used Epson-compatible printer with a
parallel connection.
If
your printer is incompatible with Perfect Print,
we
will
allow you
to
return the package for a refund,
as
long
as
it
is returned
complete
and
in
original condition within
30
days
of
receipt. Please contact

24
pin Printers, NEe-compatible
This includes printers from
NEC
and
practically
all
so-called Epson-
compatible
and
NEC:compatible printers like Star, Panasonic KXP,
Seikosha,
Fuji~u,
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 the "LQA NEC 24" adaptation and fall
back to "LQA Epson Q" only ifneeded.
Do not use the "LQA NEW Epson
Q",
as
it
only works with the very newest Epson
and
Epson-compatible
printers.
The SL-80VC is a specially consttucted Seikosha printer which
has
a 24 pin
print head
but
otherwise behaves like a 9 pin printer.
24
pin Printers from Epson (original Epson printers)
The
Epson
printers present some problems
due
to
the lack
of
a software
command
in
their operating system. All
old
Epson
24
pin
printers and all
LQ-400
models
must
use
the
"LQA
Epson
Q" adaptation file.
The
resolution
on
these models will only reach 360*180 dpi.
