-
- Control is a Workbench tool that is designed to work with any printer that is
- supported in the Amiga Preferences. This tool will allow you to quickly
- change from one printer mode to another. This program works well with
- Scribble!, and several other popular word processors and editors.
-
- The program is mouse driven (except in two places). The screen is divided up
- into four major sections.
-
- The RESET section contains a button that will reset your printer to power-up
- condition.
-
- The Command section (located in the upper right of the screen) is the printer
- test area, the eject the page (TOF), show current printer settings (SET) and
- the HELP command.
-
- The third section, the action section is where you select the type of printing
- you wish. The following is a list of commands that the CONTROL PANEL supports:
-
- NLQ - Near Letter Quality
- DRAFT - Draft Mode
- CDND - Condensed Print (15 CPI)
- NORMAL- Normal Spacing (10 or 12 CPI)
- DB STK- Double Strike ON
- (often used for printers that do not have a NLQ mode)
- DB OFF- Turn Double Strike OFF
- BOLD - Set printer to Bold type printing
- BD OFF- Turn off Bold mode
- ITALCS- Set printer in Italics mode
- IT OFF- Turn Italics off
- 10 PCH- Set printer to 10 Characters per inch (CPI)
- 12 PCH- Set printer to 12 Characters per inch (CPI)
-
- The fourth section is the Status section. This section will show you what
- the printer is currently doing, or the last command that you executed.
-
- What is this program useful for?
-
- This program will work with databases for example. It will allow you to
- fine-tune your reports, give your reports a capability that the programmers
- did not think you needed.
-
- I do hope that you find this useful, if you do I would welcome some bucks, if
- not, maybe I will get you with the next whiz-bang!
