#Tape Backups

I have a new Wangtek 525 MB SCSI tape drive. Can QuarterBack make multiple backups to the same tape volume or is it strictly one backup per tape? Is there any way to append to an existing backup or make incremental backups to the same tape volume without destroying the backup that was previously on the tape?

Mike, Go into Tape Control and turn off "Rewind after backup or restore..", Then use the space button to space past the first backup on the tape. At that point you would make your backup as normal. The main thing to remeber is to keep track of how many backups are on the tape and space that many times before adding to the tape.

Topic: Inadequate print output for PW 3.3.2 I would appreciate some advice about how to configure my system to produce the type of print output that I can get with a PC clone, and Windows 3.1 with its basic word processor, Write. I have an Amiga 2500, use Prowrite 3.3.2, and recently obtained an HP Laserjet 4L. I am generally pleased with the printer, and am aware that it will be somewhat more difficult for me to configure it since it has essentially no external panel controls, and all is done with software. I also understand that the HP4L is generally aimed at the PC market. However, I have tried a number of changes in configurations in WB2.04 preferences (including using other drivers besides the HP Laserjet that comes with the original WB2.04), and the PW3.3.2 "printer" configuration menu, and the "fonts" menu. I am unable to find a combination of settings and font that removes the "jaggies" in my print alphanumeric output. I would greatly appreciate some advice, or even better, a good HP4L printer driver that is compatible with WB2.04 and PW3.3.2; either way, I will have to consider moving to another word processor if this issue cannot be resolved.

If you use the following guidlines you should be able to get smooth output from your HP4L printer. Choose the HP_Laserjet driver that comes with Workbench 2.0, Set print quality in printer preferences to Letter. When choosing fonts in ProWrite use one of the Compugraphic fonts that come with Workbench (CG Times or CG Triumverent) Set the print density in Page setup to 300 X 300 and turn Aspect Adjusted Off. This will yield print with no jaggies if you choose High as the print quality in the print requester.
