LJDOCSMA.TXT - DOCSMASH.EXE 3.0 CODES FOR THE HPLJ II PRINTER
-------------------------------------------------------------

The following printer control codes have given exceptional
results from DOCSMASH 3.0 using the Hewlett Packard Laser Jet II
printer with default settings and no added cartridges. The codes
were optimized for legibility instead of "smashing". It may
therefore be possible to get more printing onto a piece of paper
using DOCSMASH 3.0. However, some loss in legibility would
occur.

The DOCSMASH results with these codes are amazing. Thanks again
to David Rettger for his excellent program.

Enjoy everybody! David wrote a fantastic program that is now in
the PATH command of the two PC's I use the most. Please try it.
And pay the shareware fee he requests. It is minimal and may
help keep a very creative programmer producing new products of
the same quality as DOCSMASH. I certainly want to see this occur
and hope that you agree with me.
