DESIGNING YOUR OWN DRAFT CHARACTERS
Designingand printingyourown charactershas two requirements:first,
designingtheshapeofthecharacter,calculatingthedatanecessarytomake
the shape,and sendingthat datato the printer,and secondly,sendingthe
commandtoprintthedownloadedcharactersinsteadoftheregular charac-
ters. There are a numberof designconstraintsfordownloaddraft quality
characters:
● Thematrixor gridon whichyoudesignthecharactersissixboxes wide
by nineboxes high.
s Horizontally,dotsmaybecenteredinabox, ormaystraddlealine,making
theactualcharactergrid11dotswideby9dots high.Vertically,dotscan
onlybe centeredin a box.SeeFigure5-1.

Next you must choosewhetherto makethe car symbolan ascenderor a

Wedecidedthatourcarsymbolwillnotbea “descender”,so a figure“l” is
writtennexttoDescenderonthegrid.Ifyourcharacterisadescender,write
a“O”next to Descender.
Next, you must specifythe left space and the last print columnof the
character.
Beingableto specifythe widthof the characterallowsyouto specifythe
precisearea insidethe gridthatthecharacterwilloccupy,so that narrow
characterswilllook attractivenexttowideones.
Acceptablevaluesfortheleft spaceareOto7, andthe lastprintcolumnare

DEFINING YOUR OWN NLQ CHARACTERS
Asyouprobablynoticed,NLQcharactersareprintedby two passesof the

onthesecondpass.Thepaperisrolleduphalfadotheightinbetweenpasses
tolettheprintheadprintdotson the secondpassthatoverlaptheprevious
dots,inotier tofillin thespaces andproducedensercharacters.Additionally,tie printhead speedis halved,and the dotsareprintedat doublethe
densityofdraftcharacters.Forthisreason,NLQcharacterscancontainup
to 23dotsin the horizontaldirection.
Fundamentally,theprocessto defineandprintdownloadedNLQcharacter
is the sameasfordraftcharactem,exceptthatyoumustsupplyaboutfour
timesasmuchcharacterdata,andyoumustdesignthecharacterwiththe?SVO
passes of the print head in mind. There are small diffextmceswith the
standardmodein the way the attributeinformationis processedalso.
Inthe draftqualitymodethe attributebytecarriesthedescenderdata,and
specifiestheleftspace andthecharacterwidth.IntheNLQmode,thefirst
bit also carries the descender data, and the next three bits describethe
character’sleft space as with the draft charactem,but the last four bits
describetherightspace.Appropriateallocationof datain thesesevenbits
lets you place the character whe~ you like within the grid, with the
nxtrictionthatthe charactermustbeatleast9 dotswide.

INSTALLING APPLICATION SOFTWARE WITH YOUR PRINTER
Wheninstallingapplicationsoftware,youmayfindthatyourprinteris not

ever, this should pose no problem. Read this section, and guidelines
providedwithyoursoftwareon printerinstallation.
Ifyouhaveyourprintersetup in standardmode,then chooseanEpsonLX-
850as yourprinterto beselected.
Ifthisisnot mentioned,chooseoneofthefollowing(inorderofprefe~nce):
StarNX-1000/LC-10,StarND-10/15,EpsonFX86e,EpsonFX286e.
If youhave yourprintersetup withtheDIP switchesto emulatean IBM
ProprinterIII, simplychoosethis fromthelist of printersavailablein the
applicationsoftwarelist.
If theIBMProprinterIIIis notmentioned,usePmprinterII orPmprinter.
Ifyoursoftwmpackage doesnotmentionprintembyname,butasksinstead
whatfeaturesyourprinteris capableof, the most commonquestionsare:
“Canyourprinterperforma backspace?”and“Canit do a hardwareform
feed?”.Youshouldanswer“Yes”to both thesequestions.

PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER WITH DOS
COMMANDS
If yoursystemincludesthe filePRINT.COMyoucan use themain DOS
printingcommand.SimplytypethewordPRINTfollowedby thenameof
the file you want to print. To print a fde named README.DOC,for
example,type:
A>PR .D
The computermay respond with the followingmessage, asking which
printerto use:
N o 1i d [ :
If yourcomputerisconnectedto onlyoneprinter,pressRETURNto select
the default choice (PRN).Printing will begin and the A> prompt will
reappear.You canexecute othercommandsorprogramswhilethe fde is
beingprinted.
A singlePRINTcommandcanprinttwoormorefiles.List the fde names
consecutivelyonthesameline,or usewild-cardcharactem(* and ?).Each
filewillbe printedstartingon a new page.ThePRINTcommandalsohas
controloptions.For example,youcantermimtea printingjob in progress
withthen option.(Theprintermaynotstopprintingimmediatelyasthere
maybeconsiderabledatastoredaheadinitsbuffer.)Forthen option,type:
A>P
SeeyourDOSmanualforfurtherinformationaboutthePRINTcommand.
If yoursystemdoesnotincludePRINT.COM,youcanprintfilesby using
thePRNdevicenamein COPYorTYPEcommandssuchasthefollowing:

IfyouprintfromtheDOScommandlevelveryoften,itwillbeadvantageous
