If
you
are
the
fortunate owner
of
an
LQ-550 or a
new
LQ-850/860 (or
1050/2550)
you
can
use
the
nLQA
NEW
Epson
Q"
fIle.
This adaptation
functions
only
with
these
newer
Epson
printers.
The
nLQA
Epson
Q"
will
also
work
with
all
these
printers.
24
pin Printers, IBM-compatible
A
few
24
pin
printers
are mM-compatible
(usually
very
old
24
pin printers).
Use
the
"LQA
mM
24"
adaptation
fIle
in these cases.
Many
new
24
pin
printers
can
be
switched
to
mM
mode.
This
will,
however,
normally
bring
disadvantages
to
the
C-64/128
user.
Problems
which
may
occur
If
the
printout
is
horizontally ragged,
make
sure
that
the
condensed print
mode
on
your
printer is switched
off.
If
an
exotic 9
pin
printer neither functions without adaptation nor
with
"LQA
ffiM"
then
try out
the
"LQA
Oldmechanic" and the
"LQA
Epson
Half' (half<ompatible)
fIles.

you
are
unable

produce quality results
with
this
software,
or are
unable

help. Let
us
know
the
exact printer
make

how

your
computer
(serial, parallel, interface,
etc.).
You
might
also supply
us
with
some sample printouts, if possible.
We
will
try
to
solve
the
problem,
b~t
we
may
require a
copy
of
your
printer
and/or
interface
manual(s)
if
the
printer
and/or
interface
are
less,common.
