#NEC SilentWriter
2 messages in this thread
Hello,
I have an NEC SilentWriter Model 95 connected to my Amiga. I also use
my PC with it. On the PC I have an NEC-supplied program called PCPanel
which looks att each file queued to the printer, determines if it is
PostScript or ASCII and sets the Model 95 accordingly. That allows me to
print any type of file without manually setting the emulation mode on the
Model 95's control panel. I wonder if there is similar software for the
Amiga? Anyone have pointers?
Also, I'd like to know what the appropriate ESC sequences are for:
1. Putting the Model 95 into PostScript Mode
2. Putting the Model 95 into LJIII Mode
I can't seem to find specific in the manual. If I had this info, I would
at least be able to send the appropriate control codes from Pagestream to
save me the trouble of setting the Model 95 manually.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Paul MacDonald (WA1OMM)
Paul:
Auto emulation switching is something I'd like to see made available for
the model 95/Amiga combination also. I haven't found any Amiga program
that is the equivalent of the PCPanel.
I'll try to find the ESCape code sequences later today and post them to
you if I can.
