- Hello Amiga Users,
-
- I am one of the proud (?!) owners of a MANNESMANN TALLY MT 420 D matrix
- printer. Special features: does not work with any of the printer drivers
- on the standard Workbench disk. So I finally decided to write a printer
- driver with PrtDrvGen. I succeeded partially. On this disk you will find
- the result of my efforts.
-
- The printer needs a non-ANSI Escape Sequence to switch into graphics mode.
- But PrtDrvGen does not request this parameter. So I finally put it into the
- parameter which asks which commands to send to the printer before printing
- graphics (you know..."before 3 sec delay" & "after 3 sec delay"...I think
- it's parameter 251 and 252). But in other drivers, the graphics mode on
- command is not in 251, 252. Where on earth is it ???
-
- Well, the printer SOMETIMES prints graphics, sometimes not. If you run the
- program InitPrinter (in the system drawer on the Workbench) it does print
- graphics. If you don't run it, the printer doesn't. I don't understand
- that...
-
- Is there anybody out there who also has a MT420D and can help me ???
- Please drop a note to the address below. Or if anybody knows where to put
- the graphics mode on command in, please write me !!!
