This page covers notes for PrintGL 1.24 that are not included in the
v1.22 manual.

/Q sets the number of copies of each printed page (default /Q1).
Page printers produce multiple copies faster using the "N copies"
prefix code (see Useful Prefix and Suffix Codes).

Color dot matrix formats use true black instead of a cyan, magenta,
yellow mix.

PMI includes five alternate settings instead of three.

/DX1,..,/DX4 provide xon/xoff serial port drive.

/DH1,..,/DH4 provide hardware handshaking serial port drive.

The Canon BJ130 driver (/FJ) is faster, but sets the printer to 10
pitch text.

/FR drives the Tektronix ColorQuick.

You can specify the nominal resolution of PostScript output with a
prefix code that includes the dots/inch followed by ' XX'. For
example /J 54 48 48 32 88 88 sets 600 dpi. The actual resolution
should be set to match, for example /FS 600,600. You can specify the
number of copies similarly with the XC macro, for example /J 50 32
88 67 makes 2 (ASCII 050) copies.

Reverse image is supported on laser printers.

Shading patterns are revised (but have the same coverage).

PrintGL supports forty pens. PMI supports fifteen pens.

  1. Very nice! Thank you for this wonderful archive. I wonder why I found it only now. Long live the BBS file archives!

  2. This is so awesome! 😀 I’d be cool if you could download an entire archive of this at once, though.

  3. But one thing that puzzles me is the “mtswslnkmcjklsdlsbdmMICROSOFT” string. There is an article about it here. It is definitely worth a read: http://www.os2museum.com/wp/mtswslnk/
