- Star LC200 printer and may work with other Star printers. If you do
- experience problems with AddressPrint or Address-Star, please let me know
- giving details of your Amiga, printer and other hardware.
-
-
- Please ensure that you use the correct printer driver for your printer.

-
- In order to make AddressPrint or Address-Star run on another disk the
- following files/directories are required:

-
- 1: AddressPrintV3.1 (obviously!).
- or Address-StarV1.0
-
- 2: AddressPrintV3.1.info
- or Address-StarV1.0.info
-
- 3: Directory named - Addresses and the
- files in it called ADPprefs31

-
- 5: Port-Handler in the l/ directory.
-

- (depending where you have connected
- your printer.) in the devs/ directory.

- History
- -------
-
- AddressPrint was the resolution to a problem I had. Basically I found it
- a hassle to keep changing the set-up on my word processor just to print an
- address label. So with my copy of AMOS in hand I set to work on AddressPrint
- V1.0 (never released)...
-
- The earlier versions of AddressPrint (V1.0 - V2.2) are in fact early versions
- of Address-Star as they would only work with a Star LC200 printer!!!
-
-
- V1.0 Loadfile, Createfile, Printfile and Redofile (once loaded). Very basic
- but done the job (Ooeer!).
-
- V1.3 The same as V1.0 except that it let you know it was printing.
-
- V2.0 Better user interface, looked nicer, this was to be the finished
- product.
-
- V2.1 All singing all dancing version with Printer options. Wow!!!
- The first released version.
-
- V2.2 Basically V2.1 less the bugs and some cosmetic changes.
-
-
-
- Address-Star V1.0 & AddressPrint V3.0
-
-
- AddressPrint improved then renamed to Address-Star V1.0 a custom version for
- the Star LC200 printer. This new version is then reprogrammed to work with
- other printers and renamed back to AddressPrint V3.0
-
-
- Improvements:
-
- A screen has been added to display the current file, and the maximum no. of
- characters permitted is displayed on the main screen. Printer options have
- also been extended:
-
-
- Label Skip
-
- Left & Right margin settings
-
- No. characters per line
-
- Save Preferences feature
-
-
-
- AddressPrintV3.1 - As V3.0 but with a label spacing feature, enabling the
- user to account for labels of different size & spacing. This feature can be
- found on the Print Options screen and is changed in the same way as the
- margin settings. Permitted values are - 1 min to 10 max. It is now also
- possible to quit AddressPrint whilst on the Print Options screen.
-
-
- Please note - Address-Star does not have the label spacing feature. If you
- would like to see an updated version of Address-Star, please contact me at
- the address at the end of these documents.
