INTRODUCTION

The Grappler'^'^'' Interface is a Centronics compatible

parallel interface for the Apple 11/11+ Computer. In

addition to advanced text features. It offers high

resolution dot graphics (HIRES) dump routines located in

firmware. These are easily invoked using simple control

commends.

There is no standardization among printer

manufacturers for dot graphics. Therefore, a specific

version of the Crappler interface was developed for

each type of printer. If you connect a printer to an incorrect version of the Crappler, the text features should still function properly. However, the graphics commands wili have unpredictable results.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

To install the Crappler, simply plug it into any slot

inside the Apple (except (S) as follows; 1 Turn off the power to the Apple. This is important to

prevent damage to the computer and the Crappler.

2. Connect the Crappler cable to the set ot pins on the Crappler interface card. Make sure that all the pins on the card go into the cable's matching holes. Also, the cable should point away from the card (it will only tit one way).

3. Remove the cover from the Apple. This is done by pulling up on the cover at the rear edge (the edge farthest from the keyboard) just until the two corner fasteners pop apart. Don't lift the edge any further,

but instead slide the cover backward until it comes

free.

4. Inside the Apple along the rear edge of the circuit

board, there is a series of eight long, narrow sockets called "slots." The leftmost slot (looking at the computer from the keyboard end) is slot »*'0. The adjacent slot is slot *1 and this is where most Apple programs expect the Croppler to be.

5. Be sure the power is off. Insert the Crappler card into slot *1 (or any other slot except zero) with a gentle

rocking motion until fully seated.

6. Pass the cable through one of the vertical openings

in the back of the Apple case.

7. Replace the Apple's cover. Slide the front edge of the cover into place, and then press down ori the rear corners until they pop into place.

8. Connect the Crappler cable to the printer.

TEXT FEATURES

Before sending a character to the printer, the

Grappler will check ttie SELECT and PAPER EMPTY status

lines. If the printer is not "online," or is out of paper, a

warning will be printed on the screen and the Apple will beep. If this occurs check the following:

1. The cable is firmly and properly attached to the printer.

2. The cable is firmly seated on the Grappler interface card.

3. The printer is on.

4. The printer is on-line.

5. There is paper in the printer. Note: The Grappler will not check for paper on Epson printers.

6. The printer is set up for parallel operation. (Check

Appendix B of this manual for proper dip switch settings.)

Once the error condition has been corrected you may

continue by pressing the return key.

The Grappler interface has many text features, including adjustable margins, line length, page length, etc. All commands affecting these features are listed on the following pages with a description of their function. Each one is preceded by a control character which is

CTRL-1 from BASIC or CTRL-Y from Pascal or CP/M, unless specifically changed by the user's program.

To type a control character, hold down the control key (marked "CTRL" on the Apple) and then press the appropriate letter. Then release the letter key, and then the control key. Control characters do not appear on the screen as they are typed. You may also use the CHR$ function found in Applesoft Basic (consult your

Apple manual and Appendix A).

TEXT COMMANDS

Spaces have only been used to make the commands

easier to read: do not type the spaces when issuing the command.

PR'^'n Turns on the Grappler interface card, n is

equal to the slot number of the Grappler. All subsequent characters appearing on the Apple video screen will also be printed on the printer. This command

must be used before any of the following commands will be accepted by the

Grappler.

PR^(i Turns off the Grappler.

CTRL-1 A Append line feeds onto carriage returns.

Basic will not send a linefeed after a carriage return. This means the printhead will return to the left margin but will not advance the paper. The Grappler will automatically issue a linefeed command and advance the paper after every

carriage return. If your printer is performing double line spacing, check

Appendix B of this manual.

CTRL-1 K Don't append linefeeds onto carriage

returns.

CTRL-1 H Allows the high order (8th) bit to be

output to the printer. On many printers this has no effect. On some it allows printing of block graphics (Epson MXI8ij}]. However, when block graphics ore being

printed, the standard character set is not

accessible.

CTRL-1 X Don't output the high order bit to the

printer. This puts the printer back in standard text mode.

CTRL-InN Set line length to n characters from left

side of page (not from left margin). After

issuing this command, characters will only be printed on the printer, and not on the Apple video screen. A carriage return will automatically be generated

.after n characters have been printed. If

the line length is set to zero, the Grappler will not issue a carriage return until it

receives one from the Apple. Note: When listing basic programs, the printing will automatically be formatted for

4(3 columns unless this command is used

(i.e. CTRL-1 80 N).

CTRL-II Transmits characters to both the Apple

screen and printer. When the line length

is set with a CTRL-InN command the

screen will be turned off and printed characters will go only to the printer, if you wish characters to appear on the screen while they are being printed, use

this command. However, this command

will not work when listing a program.

CTRL-lnL Sei left margin to nth column. All

subsequent printing will have n spaces a1 the start of each line. For example, w'hen using CTRL-1 10L, all printing will start in

the 10th column.

CTRL-lnR Set right margin to nth column from left

edge of page (not left margin). This

command will prevent words from being split at the right margin. The Grappler will end the line at the first space that occurs after the right margin, but before the end of the line as set by the CTRL-InN command. A right margin of zero

disables this feature.

CTRL-lnP

Set page length to n. The printer will print six linefeeds after n number of lines have been printed. A page length of zero

disables the page length feature. Continuous form paper typically has a total of 66 possible lines per page (this may vary with the type of printer).

Therefore if you specify a printed page

length of 60 lines (CTRL-I 60P), your printer

will print 60 lines and automatically skip over the perforation with 6 line feeds.

CTRL-l B

Turn on bell. This allows a CTRL-G to ring the printer bell. Many printers do not have a bell so check your printer manual to see if this feature is available.

CTRL-l C

CTRL-l S

Turn off bell. Duplicate the present text screen on the

printer. The screen will be printed 20 spaces from the left edge of the ; paper. This command is accessible from BASIC only as it uses some of the monitor routines. Only the forty character screen is printed. Eighty character boards are

not supported.

CTRL-l CTRL-Y Change to new command character

CTRL-Y. To do this, type in CTRL-l CTRL-Y. Any control character may be used here (instead of CTRL-Y) but you should avoid

characters used by your printer or normal text control characters such as CTRL-M (carriage return).

CTRL-Y CTRL-l Changes back to command character

CTRL-l.

The values and conditions listed below are the values Which are automatically set any time the Grappler is “turned on" with a PR^'^n command or initialized from Pascal or CP/M;

Left Margin-0 Line Length=0 Video =On Eighth Bit =Off

Right Margin =0 Page Length =0 Printer Bell =Off Line feed after

Basic

No with

or CP/M

GRAPHICS FEATURES AND COMMANDS

The Grappler interface can output the HIRES screen to the printer by using simple commands. All graphics commands consist of the command ctiaracter (usually CTRL-l) followed by a "G," and any options described below. If no other options are used (i.e. CTRL-l G [carriage return]), HIRES page 1 will be printed horizontally with every white dot on the screen printed as a black dot on the paper. The different options are described as follows:

2 — Print HIRES page 2 instead of page 1. D — Print the graphics screen double size. Some

printers don't have enough character positions to print a

double size image horizontally (e.g. MX-70, MX-80,

IDS-445). If that is the case, you must also use the "R"

option. Otherwise your printer will get confused and

"crash," meaning it won't do anything. If that happens

you will have to reset the APPLE by pressing the reset

key, and then reset the printer by turning it oft and then on again.

E — Prints an "emphasized" image (EPSON MX-80,

MX-80FT, MX-100, MALIBU 20'0oniy), When in this mode,

the printer will print two closely spaced dots for every

one it would normally print. This results in a denser image but printing time is twice as long.

I — Invert the image before printing. Normally, every white dot on the screen is printed as a black dot on the paper. This works fine for lines and graphs but if you are printing an actual picture ot a person or object it will

NEC 8023), you will be using successive rotated screen dumps.

appear like a negative photograph. Using this command will print the black portions of the screen as black on the paper allowing the picture to appear

nornrrally.

L — Print the image at the left margin previously set using the left margin text command. Depending on the type of printer being used, this margin may be affected by the current print density (characters per inch) or may be automatically set to 7 dot positions per character. If

this option is not used, the image will be printed in the center of an 8V2 inch page.

R — Rotate the picture 90 degrees in a clockwise

direction. Some printers require this option when printing

the image double size. (See D above).

An example of a graphics command would be CTRL-1 GDIR2 followed with a carriage return. This will print the inverse of HIRES page 2, double size, rotated 90 degrees. Options may be listed in any order, as long as they are preceded by a CTRL-1 G and followed by a carriage return. Care should be used when using the “L" specifier. If too large of a left margin is used, the picture may wrap around or, depending on the printer, it could cause it to “crash" and then both the computer

and printer would have to be reset (see “D” on previous page).

Note: When typing Grappler commands directiy from the keyboard (not from a program), the Apple will give a syntax error. This is normai since Applesoft doesn't recognize this as a valid command. However, the Grappler will still recognize the command. To avoid the syntax error, type

a one line program. For example:

10 PR'»'!: PRINT CHR$(9);"G'':PR*0

Then type RUN.

CHART RECORDER MODE

A chart recorder prints a continuous graph on a roll of paper. If you need to chart more information than can be done on a single HIRES screen, you can simulate a chart recorder by printing successive screens without any intervening spaces. The type of printer you are using will determine whether this can be done with normal or rotated images. In general, if your printer prints six graphics dots at a time (e g. IDS Paper Tigers, Centronics 739, Anadex 9500-9501), if you will be using successive normal (horizontal) screen dumps, or if your printer prints even seven dots at a time (e.g. Epsons,

PASCAL AND CP/M COMPATIBILITY

The Grappler is compatible with both PASCAL and CP/M. PASCAL 1.0 and CP/M will both recognize the card as a serial interface. Entry points have been

provided to mimic a serial interface so that the card will function properly with these systems. PASCAL 1.1 will correctly interpret that it is a firmware printer interface and access it accordingly. In either case the card will

function normally with a few minor exceptions as

detailed on the following page.

Since both systems use a CTRL-I to represent a

horizontal tab, the default command character has » been changed to CTRL-Y. If you are listing a file that contains tabs, be certain the printer tabs (see your

printer manual) have previously been set.

PASCAL does not use any of the monitor routines. For

that reason do not try and turn on the screen with a

CTRL-Y I command or do a text screen dump (CTRL-Y S). Either one will “crash" the system and both the computer and printer will have to be reset.

Both PASCAL 1.0 and CP/M use one of the I/O Ram locations to pass the output character. Since the Grappler was already using all available locations for its variables, the right margin function had to be deleted to make it compatible. This feature is still available from . BASIC or pascal 1.1.

FOR ADVANCED PROGRAMMERS: MEMORY LOCATIONS USED BY THE GRAPPLER

The Grappler Interface uses those RAM locations set aside for its particular slot and the slot scratchpad area common to all slots. The ROM is turned on using the standard ROM expansion protocol and resides in the

locations SC800 to SCFFF. The entry points and the

various RAM variables are listed below (N=Slot number):

Cold Entry Warm Entry Left Margin = S478 + Right Margin

Text Flag Bit Representations: (Bit 7 — Output high order bit)

(Bit 6 — Video turned on) (Bits

CUSTOM DRIVERS

If you are writing your own drivers, the following

locations are used to access the card (Y = NO where

N = Slot#):

Printer Status — SC®8t,Y (READ) Output Latch - SCOSBt.Y (WRITE) Strobe Low - $C(Zi82,Y (WRITE)

Strobe High - $0284,Y (WRITE)
