LP 1000 (260-2804) Addendum Faxback Doc. # 4721
Please note the following when you use the LP 1000 in Tandy DMP 2110
emulation mode:
* When you mix bold, enhanced, elongated or double height characters,
you receive an Error 15 (band too complex to print) and the print-
out becomes messy. To avoid this, set the number of characters per
line within the following limitations:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
| Bold | Enhanced | Elongated | Double Height | Limit (char./line) |
|------|----------|-----------|---------------|--------------------|
| Off | Off | On | On | No error |
| Off | On | Off | On | 57 |
| Off | On | On | Off | 30 |
| Off | On | On | On | 24 |
| On | Off | Off | On | 57 |
| On | Off | On | Of | 30 |
| On | Off | On | On | 24 |
| On | On | Off | Of | No error |
| On | On | Off | On | 24 |
| On | On | On | Of | 30 |
| On | On | On | On | 24 |
--------------------------------------------------------------------
* When you use elongation in graphics mode, there is a gap of two pixels
between each dot horizontally.
* When you change the emulation mode (either from Tandy to IBM or
vice versa) while data is in the LP 1000's buffer, the printer prints the
data first, ejects the paper, and then changes the mode. You cannot
change the emulation mode within one printing page.
* When you use more than two downloaded fonts in a document, the fonts
may become scrambled.
* After you download a font, if you change the character set in portrait
mode, the printer prints in landscape format when you use the
downloaded font.
* When you download two new fonts over the ones you previously
downloaded, the LP 1000 might give an Error 7. To clear the
message, press Reset to clear the printer, and then download the fonts
again.
Please note the following when you use the printer in IBM Wheelprinter
mode:
* Unlike the IBM Wheelprinter, the undefined character codes are
ignored instead of printing "-".
* When you use the print next character code sequence (27 "^" n), the
printer actually prints the character corresponding to code n-1. For
example, (27 "^" 4) sequence prints ASCII code 3, the heart mark,
instead of ASCII code 4, the diamond mark.
* When you use Courier 10 font in normal landscape mode, set the left
margin to greater than/equal to 2, so as not to lose the left side of
the first character in a row.
* When you use Prestige Elite or Courier 10 in normal Landscape mode,
some of the special characters (i, deg, 2, etc.) shift to the right.
* When using Proprinter or Wheelprinter emulation in lineprinter
landscape mode, the left margin defaults to 15, but the tabs are set
relative to a margin of one.
