Here is the 1st Word printer driver for Panasonic printers.
---------------------------cut me-------------------------------
This 1ST_WORD printer driver is compatible with the
following printers : PANASONIC (1090,1080,1091,1092,1592
1093. As well as these ROLAND (1010,1011,1111). Since
the light function is not available on these printers, I
have substituted for proportional mode.
Here are a list of changes and additions :
LIGHT mode (F4) is now set for Proportional mode
In the special character menu on the second line there
ten characters which for lack of a better term I will
call LCD characters, like a calculator display's. Since
only the Atari printer is capable of reproducing these
I use them to enact special funtions like :
LCD ( 0 ) NOW used to turn ON ELITE pitch printing
LCD ( 1 ) NOW used to turn OFF ELITE pitch printing
LCD ( 2 ) NOW used to turn ON CONDENSED printing
LCD ( 3 ) NOW used to turn OFF CONDENSED printing
LCD ( 4 ) NOW used to turn ON ENLARGED printing
LCD ( 5 ) NOW used to turn OFF ENLARGED printing
LCD ( 6 ) NOW used to turn ON DOUBLE space printing
LCD ( 7 ) NOW used to trun OFF DOUBLE space printing
LCD ( 8 ) NOW used to turn ON 1 1/2 space printing
LCD ( 9 ) NOW used to turn OFF 1 1/2 space printing
OPERATING NOTES:
1: It is impossible to print both in ELITE mode and NLQ
at the same time.
2: When using the double space feature place the LCD 6
before the line where you want duoble spacing to
begin. And place the LCD 7 where you want it to end.
For example if you want "The lazy dog" to be double spaced :
ON S C R E E N ON P R I N T E R
Mary had a little 6 Mary had a little
The lazy dog 7
The lazy dog
