Note: The manual has the resoulutions listed as Y by X rather than X by Y.

All of these resolutions are single pass 24 pin modes with no interlacing.
|
|
Each pass sends three bytes per column.

The default CTT is CP850. The embedded fonts are all either CP437 or
|
|
CP850 and it is necessary to select both the font and code page
|
|
for font selection. I used the Courier 10 CPI as the default font. The
|
|
driver also uses an x-move command that requires setting the printer into
|
|
a known CPI state. As a result, all font de-select commands use the
|
|
ESC[T command to set the printer to CP850 so that the full ANSI char set is
|
|
available.
|
|
|
|
NOTE: The 3.0 driver has GDI fonts mixed in with device fonts. This causes
|
|
some confusion since, for example, Courier has about ten different point
|
|
sizes. The 3.1 driver separates the device fonts from GDI fonts, and device
|
|
fonts only have one point size. The user can use True Type to simulate
|
|
any other point size.
|
|
|
|
The printer cannot do italic print from normal fonts. Special italic fonts
|
|
are required to do the italic text.
|
|
|
|
Since fonts are called by an ID number, it is transparent to the printer
|
|
whether the font is embedded, hardwired cartridge or Downloaded into the
|
|
cartridge. As such, all fonts use the same commands independent of source
|
|
so some font files are used for several modes.
|
|
|
|
If the font is a download font, the font must be loaded into the font cartridge
|
|
from DOS before running the Windows app. The driver does not support
|
|
on-line downloading of fonts. (This is compatible with the 3.0 driver.)
|
|
|
|
**NOTE:**
|
|
I did not check the downloadable fonts since the cartridge and disk are not
|
|
available. The download fonts were copied from the IBM QuietWriter driver
|
|
since they seem to be the same. This will have to be checked for accuracy.

The driver is set up to feed paper from:
|
|
Tractor Feed
|
|
Cut Sheet Feeder Auto
|
|
Cut Sheet Feeder Manual
|
|
|
|
Only the tractor feed option has been tested.
