The
GEOS
La
Print
System
The Configuration Files
You
can influence the way
the
Print
System operates
by
altering the
configuration fdes,
of
which there are
three
different types. Two
of
them
have already been mentioned: the connection file ("LQConnecL
.•
") and the
printer adaptation file ("LQA ..•
H).
The third configuration file is called the
parameter
file ("LQP ...
H).
All
of
the configuration fdes
are
simple geoWrite documents which
can
be
opened and modified as you wish.
A configuration fde is installed by simply copying one to your work disk.
If
you have several configuration fdes
of
the same type
on
your disk,
remember that the Print System will choose the first
of
these fdes as it's
configuration file.
Parameter Files ("LQP
•••
")
Contained in
the
parameter file
are
parameters which
can
be altered to change
the
appearance
of
the printout. These changes range from the position
of
the
underlining function to the height
of
the page. One
of
these parameter fdes
may
be
copied on to your work disk (it is not a requirement).
The Supplied Parameter Flies
A few parameter fdes
are
included on the disks which
can
be
used
to serve
different purposes.
If
you-wish to use one
of
these, simply copy
it
on to
your work disk.
"LQP 24 ideal" is useful when you want a 180 x 180 dpi (X=4IY=I)
printout on a 24 pin printer. The text is slightly reduced, resulting in
an
excellent printout when using point
sizes
6,
9, 12 and 18. Installing the
printer driver "24ideal geoWrite" for geoWrite all8ws the
use
of
the entire
page length.
"LQP 1.3 wide" enlarges geoWrite
1.3
or
2.0 text to fit the entire width
of
the page, eliminating unwanted left and right margins. This is useful when
printing narrow geoWrite documents and especially meaningful when using
a 9
pin
printer with a X=6IY=2 print density, as the fonts will not be
reduood.
"LQP FontDisk"
inf~s
the
Print System
that
the fonts
are
not located on
the
Print System disk,
bUt
are
instead located on the document
disk.
