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."

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.
