RetroPrinter Support

Hi
How raw is the raw file?

Is it possible to re print from the raw file to check page settings?
Or even re process trying different emulations?

Thanks
Mark

We have a Genicom as well (also has a dataproducts interface)
The best thing is to divert the output to a serial port then deal with it (unless they are all used up!)
I have two PC software based solutions for the serial dataproducts conversion.

I'll test one next week (printronix dataproducts ...

A3 - 25mm top and left would be fine for me just now

depends on the printer :D

And then of course line spacing :-) some were adjustable ...

On Gould/Encore computers I usually divert the printout to a serial line and capture/convert that to postscript. Occasionally I don't have any spare serial lines.

Hi
The manual says you can set the default margins to YES (and gives the margin data)

What happens if you say NO?

As an enhancement I would like to be able to set a bigger margin all round - even better to be able to set top, bottom, left, right separately.

Cheers

The Retro Printer works well as a replacement for the printronix line printer. So long as it has a centronix input - The dataproducts of course not suitable.
Mode IBM
page size L-A3
Thanks Rich for sorting out the A3.
