Implemented a work around. * Update ACIA detection ACIA should no longer be detected if there is also a UART module in the system. * Handle CTC anomaly Small update to accommodate CTC behavior that occurs when the CTC trigger is more than half the CTC clock. * Update acia.asm Updated ACIA detection to use primary ACIA port instead of phantom port. * Update acia.asm Fix bug in ACIA detection. Thanks Alan! * MacOS Build Improvement Build script updated to improve compatibility with MacOS. Credit to Fredrik Axtelius for this. * HBIOS Makefile - use env vars for target Allow build ROM targets to be restricted to just one platform thru use of ENV vars: ROM_PLATFORM - if defined to a known platform, only this platform is build - defaults to std config ROM_CONFIG - sets the desired platform config - defaults to std if the above ENVs are not defined, builds all ROMs * Added some more gitignores * Whitespace changes (crlf) * HBIOS: Force the assembly to fail for vdu drivers if function table count is not correct * Whitespace: trailing whitespaces * makefile: updated some make scripts to use when calling subdir makefiles * linux build: update to Build.sh fix for some platforms The initialization of the Rom dat file used the pipe (|) operator to build an initial empty file. But the pipe operator | may sometimes return a non-zero exit code for some linux platforms, if the the streams are closed before dd has fully processed the stream. This issue occured on a travis linux ubuntu image. Solution was to change to redirection. * Bump version * Enhance CTC periodic timer Add ability to use TIMER mode in CTC driver to generate priodic interrupts. * HBIOS: Added support for sound drivers New sound driver support with initial support for the SN76489 chip New build configuration entry: * SN76489ENABLE Ports are currently locked in with: * SN76489_PORT_LEFT .EQU $FC ; PORTS FOR ACCESSING THE SN76489 CHIP (LEFT) * SN76489_PORT_RIGHT .EQU $F8 ; PORTS FOR ACCESSING THE SN76489 CHIP (LEFT) * Miscellaneous Cleanup No functional changes.

INSTALLATION
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE
|
||
|
||
WordStar has two installation programs:
|
||
|
||
o WINSTALL contains the basic choices to install WordStar.
|
||
It is recommended for all users.
|
||
|
||
Be sure and install your valid disk drives since WordStar
|
||
running under CP/M cannot recover from attempts to access non-
|
||
existent disk drives.
|
||
|
||
o WSCHANGE contains every installation and customization
|
||
choice. It is designed for advanced users and users who
|
||
want to customize WordStar after they're familiar with it.
|
||
Use the menu listing below for a directory of the menus
|
||
in WSCHANGE.

MEMORY USAGE
|
||
------------
|
||
|
||
WordStar requires a minimum TPA size of 50 kbytes to run
|
||
using the factory defaults. The TPA is the amount of memory
|
||
available in your computer for use by programs that have a
|
||
file type of COM. To see how big the TPA is in your computer,
|
||
press the question mark key (?) at the Opening Menu.
|
||
|
||
The amount of memory required by WordStar can be reduced by
|
||
approximately 3 kbytes if necessary. Use the WSCHANGE program
|
||
to select the minimum memory configuration option. The menu
|
||
will show you what capabilities are being reduced.
|
||
|
||
WordStar uses a general-purpose buffer for a variety of
|
||
tasks. WordStar allocates memory to this buffer for editing,
|
||
for merge printing, and at the Opening Menu (see BFSIZE in
|
||
PATCH.LST). The buffer used for editing is usually the most
|
||
sensitive to a reduced TPA size. (You may be able to use the
|
||
Opening Menu and print, but there may be insufficient memory
|
||
for editing.)
|
||
|
||
The merge print buffer is used only to hold merge print
|
||
variable names and data. Increase it if you run out of memory
|
||
while merge printing.
|
||
|
||
The Opening Menu buffer is used primarily to hold the file
|
||
directory, and for miscellaneous tasks.
|
||
|
||
|
||
LOW-MEMORY INDICATOR IN STATUS LINE
|
||
-----------------------------------
|
||
|
||
If the Low-Memory indicator appears in the status line, it
|
||
means that WordStar was unable to complete some function.
|
||
The most common symptoms are: the line number in the
|
||
status line is wrong, or a paragraph alignment could not be
|
||
completed. You may correct the line counter by saving your
|
||
file, exiting WordStar, and re-loading your file. To correct
|
||
the paragraph alignment, move your cursor to the point where
|
||
paragraph alignment stopped, and then press ^B again.
|
||
|
||
The reason this comes up is that WordStar was not able to fit
|
||
a big enough chunk of text into memory at one time.
|
||
|
||
When you first begin editing, WordStar uses the value from
|
||
EDSIZE in the user area to determine the minimum amount
|
||
of memory required for a page of text. The default
|
||
is set for approximately a 55 line by 66 column page. If
|
||
your page size is routinely larger than this, you may want
|
||
to increase EDSIZE. Multiply the number of lines by the
|
||
number of columns, and divide by 128.
|
||
|
||
If the Low-Memory indicator comes on while printing, it is due
|
||
to either the same reasons as for editing, or there is
|
||
insufficient memory to print the text proportionally spaced.
|
||
The amount of memory required depends on which printer
|
||
driver you are using. If you aren't using the .PS ON dot
|
||
command to turn proportional spacing on in your document,
|
||
low memory won't be a problem. Also, WordStar uses more
|
||
memory for merge printing than it does for regular printing
|
||
(around 2.5 kbytes more).
|
||
|
||
The Low-Memory indicator will also appear when a full disk error
|
||
is encountered during editing. Treat the disk-full error as you
|
||
would normally.
|
||
|
||
|
||
RAM-RESIDENT PROGRAMS
|
||
---------------------
|
||
|
||
RAM-resident programs, such as SmartKey, reduce the amount of
|
||
working memory (TPA) that WordStar can use. The new features in
|
||
WordStar, such as shorthand, may reduce the need for these
|
||
RAM-resident programs, thus freeing memory for WordStar.
|
||
|
||
|
||
ZCPR3 SUPPORT
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
In order to enable the ZCPR facilities within WordStar, the user
|
||
must use the Z3INS utility provided with ZCPR to install the
|
||
address of the ZCPR "environment" into WordStar. The environment
|
||
contains information that WordStar uses to support ZCPR-specific
|
||
functions.
|
||
|
||
Generally, the user should log onto the drive containing the file
|
||
WS.COM, and issue the command:
|
||
|
||
Z3INS SYS.ENV WS.COM
|
||
|
||
The user should also run either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to further
|
||
install WordStar for ZCPR. However, this is not mandatory because
|
||
the only thing that happens is that the WordStar sign-on says
|
||
"ZCPR3," and the LGLUSR location in the user area is changed for a
|
||
maximum user number of 31. (The normal default for LGLUSR is 15.)
|
||
|
||
Once the user has installed WordStar for use with ZCPR, the user
|
||
will be able to use the following ZCPR features:
|
||
|
||
- A named directory may be used when logging onto a new drive/user.
|
||
|
||
- A named directory may be used instead of a drive/user as part
|
||
of any file name.
|
||
|
||
- The drive/user always appears above file directories. (For CP/M
|
||
only the drive letter is shown if the user number is zero.)
|
||
|
||
- The directory name also appears above the directory if one has
|
||
been defined for the currently logged drive/user.
|
||
|
||
- If WordStar does not find its OVR files on the current drive and
|
||
user, it will search the drives and user numbers in the ZCPR
|
||
search path rather than using its standard search pattern.
|
||
|
||
- WordStar installs itself as a ZCPR "shell" process which lets the
|
||
user enter any legal ZCPR command when running a program. (CP/M
|
||
can only run programs that are COM files.)
|
||
|
||
|
||
OSBORNE USERS
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
The command to change a hard carriage return to a soft carriage
|
||
return (document mode) or to turn Auto-indent ON (nondocument
|
||
mode) does not function on the Osborne because of a limitation
|
||
in its BIOS. The following patch can be applied to change the
|
||
command from ^^ to ^- (Ctrl-Hyphen):
|
||
|
||
Using DDT or SID in the file WSMSGS.OVR:
|
||
|
||
At 02DA replace 1E with a 1D
|
||
At 02EF replace 1E with a 1D
|
||
At 0359 replace 1E with a 1D
|
||
At 06B2 replace 1E with a 1D
|
||
At 06C9 replace 1E with a 1D
|
||
|
||
At the system prompt type SAVE 53 WSMSGS.OVR
|
||
|
||
For more information on how to use SID or DDT, see your CP/M
|
||
reference guide. As always, be sure and apply the patch to a
|
||
COPY of the file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
INSTRUCTIONS FOR TWO FLOPPY DISK COMPUTERS
|
||
------------------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Do not remove the Program disk while you are using WordStar.
|
||
|
||
The Printer Driver Library file (WSPRINT.OVR) on the WordStar
|
||
program disk is much smaller than the Printer Driver Library
|
||
file contained on the disk labeled PRINTER. Be sure to read the
|
||
section in "Starting" that discusses the printer library file.
|
||
|
||
|
||
RUN A PROGRAM
|
||
-------------
|
||
|
||
Once you press R you can type the drive and user number for the
|
||
program you want to run. You may run only .COM files. CCP commands,
|
||
such as DIR cannot be used.
|
||
|
||
|
||
INDEXING
|
||
--------
|
||
|
||
Using StarIndex
|
||
|
||
StarIndex 1.01 works with files created with this release of
|
||
WordStar.
|
||
|
||
"Can't Use That Printer" Message
|
||
|
||
When WordStar creates an index or table of contents, it uses
|
||
the printer drivers $INDEX and $TOC. If you created a smaller
|
||
WSPRINT.OVR file, you may have left these drivers out. To
|
||
return them to the file, copy the original WSPRINT.OVR file
|
||
onto your disk. When you create a smaller file again, be sure
|
||
to save these drivers. See Appendix C in the WordStar manual
|
||
for a list of other drivers to save.
|
||
|
||
|
||
SPELL CHECKING
|
||
--------------
|
||
|
||
Dual floppy disk users:
|
||
|
||
Unless you have sufficient room on your working WordStar program
|
||
disk for the files TW.COM, SPELL.COM, MARKFIX.COM, REVIEW.COM and
|
||
MAINDICT.CMP you will not be able to run a spell check from the
|
||
Opening Menu. You will need to exit WordStar and replace the
|
||
working WordStar program disk with the dictionary disk you created
|
||
during installation. This disk should contain the files listed
|
||
above. Make sure the disk in drive B has the file you want to
|
||
spell-check.
|
||
|
||
Follow the directions for running a spell check in The WORD Plus
|
||
manual.
|
||
|
||
|
||
UPGRADING FROM A PREVIOUS RELEASE
|
||
---------------------------------
|
||
|
||
This release of WordStar contains many new features and commands.
|
||
See the "What's New" booklet for a complete list. The following
|
||
changes came in too late to be included in the documentation.
|
||
|
||
Printer Patches
|
||
|
||
Previous versions of WordStar treat most dot matrix printers
|
||
and other non-daisy wheel printers as a DRAFT printer with a
|
||
few patchable items. Because of this, many users have used
|
||
these patches to be able to use certain features of their
|
||
printers. Sometimes the patches have been quite extensive, and
|
||
some users have many files that count on them.
|
||
|
||
The printer drivers of WordStar Release 4, on the other hand,
|
||
are very powerful. Almost every driver recognizes all the print
|
||
controls and all the dot commands. In fact, if a document is
|
||
written to be printed on one kind of printer, it is likely that
|
||
it will also print fine on some other printer.
|
||
|
||
However, if you want to use your existing files with WordStar
|
||
4, and those files rely on the user area being patched in a
|
||
special way, you can probably do so by moving the patches into
|
||
WordStar 4, and using the CUSTOM or SIMPLE printer driver.
|
||
|
||
On the INSTALL disk is a program called MOVEPRN.COM that
|
||
copies the printer driver portion of the previous release's
|
||
user area into files that can be installed into Release 4 with
|
||
the "auto patcher" feature.
|
||
|
||
Copy the program MOVEPRN.COM onto the disk containing the
|
||
WS.COM file for the previous version. Type
|
||
|
||
MOVEPRN WS.COM FILE1.PAT FILE2.PAT
|
||
|
||
MOVEPRN extracts the proper portions of the user area and
|
||
writes them into two files that may then be used with the "auto
|
||
patcher" feature of WSCHANGE.
|
||
|
||
FILE1.PAT is to be used with the general patching menu
|
||
(Choose E "Patching" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then A "Auto
|
||
Patcher"). FILE2.PAT should be used to install strings first
|
||
into the SIMPLE driver, and then into the CUSTOM driver (choose
|
||
B "Printer" on the WSCHANGE Main Menu, then B "Printer driver
|
||
library", D "Change printer driver data" and D "Driver auto
|
||
patcher").
|
||
|
||
Test print your document first with the SIMPLE driver, and then
|
||
with the CUSTOM driver to see which one produces the most
|
||
satisfactory results.
|
||
|
||
Also read Appendix C for more information on using the Auto
|
||
Patcher.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Hanging Indents
|
||
|
||
For WordStar Professional Release 4, MailMerge reformats indented
|
||
text created with ^OG to the current margins. If you want the text
|
||
to remain indented, use embedded ruler lines or the .RM, .LM,
|
||
and .PM commands. See the "Reference Guide" for more information.
|
||
|
||
Pressing ^OG to wrap back to the first tab on the ruler line after
|
||
having reached the last tab works the same way it did in previous
|
||
versions of WordStar, contrary to what is stated in the manual.
|
||
|
||
|
||
TERMINALS
|
||
---------
|
||
|
||
WordStar comes installed for an "idealized" special terminal.
|
||
WINSTALL and WSCHANGE allow you to install many terminals by
|
||
name, thus allowing WordStar to take advantage of the special
|
||
features that the terminal might support, such as underlining
|
||
or the function keys.
|
||
|
||
Use either WINSTALL or WSCHANGE to pick your specific terminal
|
||
or computer screen from the Monitor menu. If your terminal
|
||
isn't on the menu, it probably emulates one of those that is
|
||
there. Look in your terminal documentation to find out.
|
||
|
||
After you install WordStar for the proper terminal, run
|
||
WordStar and open the file PRINT.TST to see which attributes
|
||
(such as bold and underline) work on your screen.
|
||
WordStar will highlight the following in some way...
|
||
|
||
Bold (^PB)
|
||
Underline (^PS)
|
||
Strike-out (^PX)
|
||
Subscript (^PV)
|
||
Superscript (^PT)
|
||
Doublestrike (^PD)
|
||
Italics (^PY)
|
||
Blocks (^KB, ^KK)
|
||
Error messages
|
||
|
||
Most of the time, normal text will be shown in dim intensity,
|
||
and highlighted text will be shown in bright intensity. You
|
||
may have to use a brightness and/or contrast knob to adjust
|
||
your screen the first time you use WordStar this way.
|
||
|
||
If your dim intensity is too dim to see well, and you can't
|
||
adjust it, you can change the BRITE flag to ON using WSCHANGE.
|
||
This will invert bright and dim in your text, so that regular
|
||
text is displayed bright, and highlighted text will be
|
||
displayed as dim. However, text in the menus is not affected.
|
||
|
||
|
||
DISPLAY PROBLEMS WITH TERMINALS
|
||
-------------------------------
|
||
|
||
Once you have installed WordStar for the proper terminal, you
|
||
may still experience display problems.
|
||
|
||
If text from the previous screen remains after WordStar
|
||
displays a new screenful of text, the most likely cause is
|
||
cursor wrap. Basically, WordStar must know what happens to the
|
||
cursor when a character is displayed at the rightmost position
|
||
of the screen. It can either remain at the right edge, or it
|
||
can wrap to the beginning of the next line. The WRAP flag in
|
||
WordStar must be set either on or off to correspond to the
|
||
way the terminal works. (It is generally set for the
|
||
terminal's factory default, but the default can usually be
|
||
changed using the terminal's setup mode.)
|
||
|
||
Another possible cause for display problems is your terminal's
|
||
incomplete emulation of some other terminal. The most
|
||
common differences are...
|
||
|
||
Line insert (LININS), line delete (LINDEL),
|
||
Erase to end of screen (ERAEOS),
|
||
Erase to end of line (ERAEOL),
|
||
And, erase screen (ERASCR).
|
||
|
||
Look in the manual for your terminal and use WSCHANGE to see
|
||
if the control sequences match.

||
CHOOSING A PRINTER
|
||
|
||
WordStar is ready to work with over 100 printers. The printer you
|
||
choose during installation becomes your default printer. However,
|
||
when you print a document, you can choose any other printer. To
|
||
choose a default printer, follow these steps:
|
||
|
||
1. Look at the Printer Information brochure that came in your
|
||
package. The first chart shows the printers listed on the
|
||
Printer Selection Menus. If your printer is on the menu,
|
||
simply choose it during installation.
|
||
|
||
2. If your printer isn't listed on the menu, it may work like a
|
||
printer that is. Refer to the second chart in the Printer
|
||
Information brochure for a list of printers that work like
|
||
printers on the menu. When WordStar asks you to choose a
|
||
printer, choose the printer that works like yours.
|
||
|
||
3. If neither chart lists your printer, choose Typewriter Printer
|
||
(if your printer can backspace) or Draft Printer (if it can't).
|
||
These choices may not take advantage of all your printer's
|
||
features, but they will work with almost any printer.
|
||
|
||
Note: If you choose Draft or Typewriter, you can modify custom
|
||
print controls and printer initialization.
|
||
|
||
If you want to make more modifications to take advantage of your
|
||
printer's feature, choose the Custom or Simple drivers, then use
|
||
the WS Printer Patches section of WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the
|
||
codes for your printer. Refer to your printer manual for these
|
||
codes. Some printers work better with the Custom driver and some
|
||
with the Simple driver. Try using both and see which works better
|
||
with your printer. See the "Reference Guide" for more information.
|
||
|
||
SETTING UP YOUR PRINTER
|
||
|
||
Choosing a Printer Port
|
||
|
||
Each printer is connected to a printer port at the back of
|
||
the computer. WordStar looks for printers on the LST: port.
|
||
If your printer is connected to a different port, use
|
||
WSCHANGE to tell WordStar the correct port.
|
||
|
||
Testing Your Printer Connection
|
||
|
||
At the operating system prompt, type "PIP LST:=READ.ME." This
|
||
file should be printed by your printer. If it is not, your printer
|
||
may be connected to a different port. See your computer reference
|
||
manual, and the section on the STAT command in your CP/M
|
||
reference manual for more information.
|
||
|
||
|
||
PRINTER DRIVERS
|
||
|
||
The WSPRINT.OVR file on the Printers disk contains a printer
|
||
driver for each printer on the Printer Selection Menu. The printer
|
||
driver for a printer contains all the codes WordStar needs to work
|
||
with that printer.
|
||
|
||
Each printer driver has a short name. If you choose a printer when
|
||
you print a document, you see the names of the printer drivers, not
|
||
the names of the printers.
|
||
|
||
PROPORTIONAL PRINTING
|
||
|
||
WordStar supports proportional printing on a number of printers.
|
||
To turn on proportional printing, either install WordStar to
|
||
default to proportional printing, or place a ".PS on" command
|
||
in your document. At print time, WordStar selects the
|
||
appropriate proportional font based on the character width
|
||
(.CW) currently in effect.
|
||
|
||
The specific printer descriptions later in this section show
|
||
recommended character widths for proportional typefaces.
|
||
These widths are for a normal mix of upper- and lowercase
|
||
letters. If you have many words or phrases all in uppercase
|
||
or if you want your text less densely printed, choose a larger
|
||
character width.
|
||
|
||
While WordStar mostly sets character widths based on the
|
||
proportional-width table in the driver, on the more advanced
|
||
daisy wheel printers, WordStar uses the printer's proportional-
|
||
spacing mode. WordStar determines how much white space is needed
|
||
to right-justify the line based on its own proportional width
|
||
tables. If the table values don't match the wheel installed,
|
||
WordStar won't be able to justify the line correctly.
|
||
|
||
WordStar sends standard ASCII characters; if a proportional wheel
|
||
uses a different spoke mapping, set up the printer to handle this.
|
||
|
||
LASER PRINTERS
|
||
|
||
WordStar supports laser printer features such as font changes
|
||
and proportional spacing.
|
||
|
||
WordStar supports several laser printers: the Canon LPB-8 A1 & A2;
|
||
the Hewlett-Packard LaserJet, LaserJet+, and LaserJet 500+;
|
||
and the Ricoh LP4080. Refer to the "Specific Printer
|
||
Information" section of this file for information on these
|
||
printers. General notes about using laser printers are given below.
|
||
|
||
Paper Size and Margins
|
||
|
||
Laser printers come with preset page margins. You need to
|
||
compensate for these margins by changing page length in your
|
||
WordStar documents. The chart below shows the recommended
|
||
settings for 8 1/2 X 11 inch paper for both portrait and landscape
|
||
orientations. These settings allow 55 lines of text for portrait
|
||
orientation and 40 lines of text for landscape orientation (at 6
|
||
lines per inch). They also allow for a footer of up to 3 lines
|
||
and a one-line header. If you use multiple-line headers, adjust
|
||
the top margin accordingly.
|
||
|
||
Dot Default Portrait Landscape
|
||
Setting Command Value Orientation Orientation
|
||
------- ------- ------- ----------- -----------
|
||
page length .PL 66 62 47
|
||
top margin .MT 3 2 2
|
||
bottom margin .MB 8 5 5
|
||
header margin .HM 2 1 1
|
||
footer margin .FM 2 2 2
|
||
|
||
If the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE
|
||
to make these settings the defaults.
|
||
|
||
Because laser printers leave small margins at the left and right
|
||
sides of the page, you may want to use a smaller page offset
|
||
setting (the default is .PO 8).
|
||
|
||
Form Feeds
|
||
|
||
When you print with a laser printer, answer Y for yes to the "Use
|
||
form feeds (Y/N)?" prompt at print time. (The default is NO.) If
|
||
the laser printer is your primary printer, you can use WSCHANGE to
|
||
change the default to yes.
|
||
|
||
WordStar Commands for Font Selection
|
||
|
||
The WordStar dot commands and print control commands listed below
|
||
determine the fonts used for printing a document.
|
||
|
||
.PR .PR OR=L selects landscape orientation; .PR OR=P (or just
|
||
.PR OR) selects portrait orientation (the default). If
|
||
either of these commands appears after the first printing
|
||
line on a page, the orientation will not change until the
|
||
following page.
|
||
|
||
.PS .PS ON selects proportionally spaced characters; .PS OFF
|
||
(the default) selects fixed-spaced characters.
|
||
|
||
.CW The character-width setting (.CW followed by the width in
|
||
120ths of an inch) determines the character pitch and font
|
||
selected for fixed-width printing. For proportional fonts, it
|
||
determines the point size and proportional-width table
|
||
selected.
|
||
|
||
.LQ .LQ ON selects near letter quality print (if supported by
|
||
your printer). LQ OFF selects draft quality print. Default
|
||
is ON.
|
||
|
||
^PY The italic print control toggles between normal and italic
|
||
characters when the appropriate italic font is available.
|
||
|
||
^PB The boldface print control toggles between normal and bold
|
||
characters when the appropriate bold font is available.
|
||
|
||
^PD The double strike print control used with the laser printers
|
||
toggles overprinting with a horizontal offset of 1/120"
|
||
between the two character images. This allows a bold effect
|
||
where no bold font is available.
|
||
|
||
^PA ^PA turns alternate pitch on. Use .CW to assign different
|
||
character widths to normal pitch (see ^PN below) and alternate
|
||
pitch so that each pitch accesses a different font. You can
|
||
then change fonts by switching between the two pitches. This
|
||
is the only way to use two fonts on the same line.
|
||
(See "Character width" and "Pitch" in the "Reference Guide.")
|
||
|
||
^PN ^PN turns normal pitch on. You can use it with ^PA as
|
||
described above.
|
||
|
||
^P@ When working with columns, if you use alternate and normal
|
||
pitch for two fonts, or if you use proportional spacing, you
|
||
may need to use ^P@ to make sure the columns line up.
|
||
Remember that the column position set with ^P@ is determined
|
||
by the normal pitch character width. (See "Columns" and
|
||
"Proportional spacing" in the "Reference Guide."
|
||
|
||
INFORMATION ON SPECIFIC PRINTERS

HEWLETT-PACKARD LASERJET PRINTERS
|
||
|
||
The following information applies to the LaserJet, the LaserJet+,
|
||
and the LaserJet 500+. For general information on laser printers,
|
||
see the "Laser Printers" section above.
|
||
|
||
The LaserJet Fonts
|
||
|
||
The LaserJet has three different types of fonts:
|
||
|
||
- The "internal" fonts that came with the printer
|
||
- Plug-in cartridges
|
||
- Soft fonts that must be downloaded through your computer.
|
||
(Only the LaserJet+ and LaserJet 500+ can use downloaded fonts.)
|
||
|
||
The fonts available in your LaserJet depend on which cartridge
|
||
you have installed and which fonts you have downloaded.
|
||
|
||
Font Installation
|
||
|
||
Internal Fonts:
|
||
|
||
The fonts that came with your printer are already in memory and
|
||
ready to use. Different LaserJet models come with different sets
|
||
of internal fonts.
|
||
|
||
Cartridges:
|
||
|
||
Cartridges containing a variety of character fonts can be
|
||
inserted into any LaserJet model. See your printer manual for
|
||
instructions.
|
||
|
||
The font selection guidelines in the sections below contain
|
||
information about specific cartridges. The letter that identifies
|
||
your cartridge is on the front label, directly following the
|
||
number 92286. For example, the Y cartridge is labeled 92286Y.
|
||
|
||
Soft fonts:
|
||
|
||
Soft, or downloadable, fonts are supplied on disk. These fonts
|
||
are not explicitly supported by WordStar.
|
||
|
||
LaserJet Font Selection
|
||
|
||
Each LaserJet font has several characteristics associated with
|
||
it. When a printer driver specifies font characteristics to the
|
||
LaserJet, the LaserJet searches its available fonts for the best
|
||
match to the characteristics requested. The following table
|
||
describes these characteristics, in the order in which the
|
||
LaserJet evaluates them when selecting a font.
|
||
|
||
Characteristic WordStar Control
|
||
-------------- -----------------
|
||
* Orientation (portrait or landscape) .PR OR=P/L
|
||
* Symbol Set (Roman-8, USASCII, Printer driver
|
||
Line Draw, etc.)
|
||
* Proportional or fixed spacing .PS ON/OFF
|
||
* Print pitch (fixed-width fonts) .CW
|
||
* Character height (point size) .CW
|
||
* Character style (upright or italic) ^PY
|
||
* Stroke weight (light, medium, bold) ^PB
|
||
|
||
Note that symbol set is high in the list of characteristics:
|
||
make sure that the driver you select is compatible with the symbol
|
||
set of your cartridge or downloaded fonts. The symbol sets used by
|
||
each driver are listed in the table in the next section. For example,
|
||
if your cartridge has the USASCII Symbol Set, you can't use the
|
||
HPLJ:U driver because it uses only the Roman-8 Symbol Set.
|
||
|
||
LaserJet Printer Drivers
|
||
|
||
WordStar provides two printer drivers for use with different
|
||
LaserJet font cartridges. Each of these drivers
|
||
lets you print with several of the available fonts. You can
|
||
use any of these drivers with the LaserJet, LaserJet+, or
|
||
LaserJet 500+, depending on the cartridge.
|
||
Refer to the table below to see which driver works
|
||
best for you.
|
||
|
||
The table lists the following information for each driver:
|
||
|
||
o The symbol sets used for fixed and proportional spacing
|
||
|
||
These must correspond to the symbol sets on the installed
|
||
fonts you want to use. The "Default" symbol set refers to the
|
||
one the LaserJet defaults to.
|
||
|
||
o The proportional-spacing tables used by the driver
|
||
|
||
These tables are part of the LaserJet's method of proportional
|
||
spacing. The tables determine the width of each character in a
|
||
proportionally spaced font. The fonts corresponding to these
|
||
tables are used if available. If the corresponding font is not
|
||
installed, the table is still used, and the closest available
|
||
font is used. This may cause the spacing to appear too tight or
|
||
too loose. In this column, the number is the point size, R stands
|
||
for regular, B stands for bold, and I stands for italics (the
|
||
LaserJet has separate tables for each of these).
|
||
|
||
o The font cartridges that work best with
|
||
the symbol sets and tables used by the driver
|
||
|
||
The cartridges listed are the only ones directly
|
||
supported for use with WordStar. If your cartridge is not
|
||
listed, you may still be able to use it. Look at
|
||
the font information below and try the most compatible driver.
|
||
You may need to try different dot command settings or another
|
||
driver. The HPLJET is the most "general purpose" driver, so if
|
||
you're not sure which driver to use, try it first.

The printer driver charts below show the actual fonts that print
|
||
with each printer driver and the recommended font cartridges.
|
||
The charts show the fonts used for both fixed
|
||
and proportional spacing and for different character width (.CW)
|
||
settings.
|
||
|
||
The recommended .CW settings are shown first. The settings in
|
||
parentheses select the same font, but the spacing of characters
|
||
within a line may appear tighter or looser.
|
||
|
||
After the name of each font, the charts note whether regular (R),
|
||
bold (B), and italic (I) fonts are available. If a bold font is
|
||
not available, you can use the ^PD (double strike) command to get
|
||
a boldface effect.
|
||
|
||
The last column shows whether you can print in landscape (chosen
|
||
in WordStar with .PR OR=L) as well as portrait orientation.
|
||
|
||
To use a particular font, choose the settings listed. For example,
|
||
to use the Times Roman 8 font with the HPLJET printer driver, insert
|
||
the F cartridge, turn .PS on and set character width to .CW 7.
