RON STORER
HELP! I AM HAVING TROUBLE PRINTING ITALICS, GARAPHICS, AND DIFFERENT
TYPESTYLESON MY OKIDATA MICROLINE 182+. I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN AMIGA 2000 AND
I'M STILL A BIT CONFUSED ABOUT COMPUTER AND PRINTER INTERFACING. ALSO WOULD
APPRECIATE ANY INFORMATION ON DOWNLOAD ING PROGRAMS FROM THE AMIGAFORUM FILES,
SPECIFICALLY CONCERNING THIS ARC STUFF.ANY INFO WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.
THANKS 73230,713
Ron,
A few things…first, you message came thru in all caps. That makes
them hard to read. If you didn't have your caps lock key on, then your CIS
parameters need to be changed. Also, if you see this message as all caps,
you'll need to change your CIS parameters as this message is in mixed case.
To do those changes, type GO TERMINAL at any CIS ! prompt and follow
the menus to set CAPS LOCK OFF and SUPPORTS UPPER/LOWER case.
Now, to your problems. Which printer driver have you selected from
Preferences? Which version of the Operating System are you using (1.2 or 1.3)?
As to downloading and the .arc stuff. Read the file ARC.HLP in LIB 1,
that'll explain what arc is and how to use it. Then go to LIB 4 and download
the file ARC.EXE which is the program file you'll need.
Don
Ron,
I'll help you with your problems if you'll release your caps lock and type in
lower case. Bargain?
Now, on the printer, what driver are you using, and how have you set up your
printer on the preferences screen? Also, how are you sending the codes for
those italics, etc.? From a program set up to do it, or how?
On downloading – first get ARC.EXE from Lib4 and put it in your C directory as
ARC.
Second, capture ARC.HLP from Lib1, and read it carefully. It tells you how to
use ARC.
Then, download a file and try following the instructions in ARC.HLP. If you
need more help, ask us. We'll be glad to help.

Thanks for the info on ARC, I'll let you know how it works. As far as my
printer troubles, I guess I need help in selecting the proper driver. I am
currently set up in preferences on Okidata_292 where I got the best results.
(boldface and underline) I do not have a program to send codes for italics
etc.Any help would be appreciated.
Ron
I assume that you went through Lib7 (I think that's the number for printer
drivers) to see if there was an exact match. And have you looked in the
enhancer manual to see if they had suggestions there?
