With these options you are able to print one, some,
or
all
of
the pages
of
the document Clicking on the arrows moves the page number up or down.
You may also directly write the page numbers into the
broken~lined
boxes
beside the arrows by using the numbers
and
the DEL key on the keyboard.
SIngle Sheets I Copies
If
you click on the "Single Sheet" box, this becomes filled in. The program
will then ask you to insert a sheet before
it
begins to print a new page.
With "Copies" you can determine the total number

Mode
If
you choose this box, your printer will print with all 24 pins, otherwise
only eight pins are used. This box is not visible when a 9 pin adaptation
file is being installed.
Print
density X
and
Y
The most important function in the print menu, and the very heart
of
the
GEOS
LQ
Print System, is the regulating
of
the
resolution (or print
density) with X and
Y.
The number value
of
X extends from 1 through 9
and determines the horizontal print density. Y values extend from 1 through
3 to control the vertical density.
The values X=3 and
Y=1
are
equal
to the normal GEOS resolution (80 x 72.
dpi) on a 9 pin printer. The highest resolution is X=9 and Y=3, reaching a
print quality
of
240 x 216 dpi. With a slow serial connected printer we
recommend a
X/Y
setting
of
6/2 (120 x 144)
or
8/3 (240 x 216). With a 24
pin printer we recommend a setting
of
4/1 (180 x 180). For even greater
demands we suggest a setting
of
6/2 (360 x 360) and recommend using a
parallel connection (new ribbons tend to smear
at
6/2, so use an older one or
adjust the print head spacing away from the paper). More
on
this in Section
4, topic "Quality, Speed and Serial Printers".
Not all printers are able to reach the highest print density. Some older 9 pin
printers cannot print higher than the Y value
of
2,
while older 24 pin
printers are limited to the Y value
Qf
1.
Sometimes different X values
produce the same results.
The
24 pin mode box switches between 2 different
X/Y
values and should
be
set prior to making changes in the X
or
Y values.
