- The doc file is huge as you've no doubt noticed. It's also
- formatted so that it can be printed to a laser or pin printer. You'll
- need to set up each printer a bit differently in order to print the
- docs correctly, so follow these directions.
-
- The document is formatted at 60 lpp, 75 cpl @ 10 cpi. The file has
- also been compressed by about 45k by using TAB characters at 8
- character spacing. At the end of each page is a ^L^M (Form Feed -
- Carriage Return) combination. The C/R is present since some laser
- printers do not reset the current character position after receiving a
- form feed character. Most laser printers are only capable of printing
- 60 lpp and since the document is formatted to 60 lines the skip-over-
- perforation option in the printer must turned off. Line printers
- usually print 66 lpp so it must have it's skip-over-perforation option
- turned on. The left margin for both types of printers should be set to
- 5 so that there is room to 3-hole punch the output for placement in a
- binder.
-
- Two batch files are included with this archive to handle the
- details of these differences, laser.bat and line.bat.
-
-
- Laser printers:
- ---------------
- The Laser.bat file assumes the use of an HP compatible laser
- printer. Click on the icon to execute the batch file or execute it
- from the CLI directly.
-
-
- Pin printers:
- -------------
- The Line.bat file assumes the use of any Epson compatible pin
- printer. Click on the icon to execute the batch file or execute it
- from the CLI directly.
-
-
- You should get a 216 page document. If you have any problems with
- this please let me know.
