I have been playing around with invoking Diablo emulation mode
via a PostScript program. The way I wish to use it is to prepend
it to an ASCII file for printing. I have seen several other
methods for printing ASCII files most of them doing so by prepending
an ASCII emulator to the file. I do have a problem though with
carriage return not working. Line feeds work but carriage returns
do not. One question I have (for Glenn I guess) is "Do all
PostScript printers support Diablo emulation?". The program appears
below. Any help and comments are appreciated.
/dodiablo{
{
statusdict
begin
(Courier) % Normal Font
(Courier-Bold) % Bolding Font
10 % CPI (10,12,15)
1 % 1 - Auto Linefeed 0 - No Auto Linefeed
/diablo load
end
exec
}
stopped
{
showpage
}if
}def
dodiablo
Now is the time for the ASCII file to follow.
But when I print on the next line, it only
performs NL and not CR
\004
Thanks,
Danny
