Would anyone having any information on the Olivetti/Docutel
Ink Jet Printer please let me know if it can be used
for Graphics, Letter Quality, compressed print, ...
Also, does it have many serviceable parts?
Does it use standard paper?
Are ink ampules costly, and in what colours?
I am thinking of purchasing this printer, but
I would like some more information first.
Also, is all I need a parallel card to hook it
up to my APPLE II+, and will the CPS card
from Mountain Hardware suffice?
Thanks a lot for your help,
I will post responses to the net,
GARY

The Olivetti is a nice printer
but the manual is very vague on how
to do the hi-res graphics (it is very
hi-res). Infact the program that gives
the example on how to do it doesn't
even work! (well at least on the TRS-80)
After trying different things
we seemed to get somewhere but didn't
understand any of the codes and stuff.
If you want standard printing
with different sizes and features
they all work. It works great with
everything except the graphics. If
ANYONE understands how the graphics
working I would like to know. I will
share my knowledge of what have have
accomplished (we could print vertical
lines and few other things).
