I have a Citizen GSX-140 printer and use Excellence! often. The problem I
have is that the printer does not interpret the vertical margin settings
from Excellence! I found, by trial and error, that I need to format my
documents on screen first and then adjust the margins by subtracting .5 inch
from the top and adding .5 inch to the bottom. Otherwise, the printer ends
up sending the output too low ('bout .5 inch). I figure there is probably
some setting on my printer I can use to fix it, but so far I haven't found
anything in the manual.
Is there anyone out there who also has a Citizen GSX-140 printer and uses
Excellence? If so, how have you worked around this (assuming you have this
"feature")?
Thanx in advance,
Agitator

The fix is in the adjustment to TOP OF FORM. Lokk it up in the Index of the printer manual. (Mine is not handy.) The adjustment is very easy and is actually needed for most programs.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Robert M.

As for the density problem, check the 1.3 Enhancer manual...I beleive it does support it, however, the printer can only really print 180 dpi across. The higher resolution has the dots overlapping. 360 dpi is only good for certain graphics operations. I also have ProWrite and a GSX-140. I don't quite see what benefit 360x360 dpi will give in this case.... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------- Robert M.

I have written an epson 360*360 printer driver. This one is faster, has more features and there's also a 68020/30 version. With this message you should receive this driver via email. I don't have any FTP access, so those in need for this driver drop me a note and I'll send you the package (or somebody with FTP...). I'm also working on a printer driver package for Star, Oki, Nec, Seikosha, EpsonLQ with major(!) speed improvements. Should be available realy soon... >Also, I would like to be able to use the color option on it. Hmmm... this Epson driver does color but this has never been tested (somebody out there with an LQ860 ???) >David Navas navas@sim.berkeley.edu -- Wolf Faust UUCP: wfaust%venus%cbmger%cbmehq@cbmvax,commodore.com Tel: (+49)69 5486556(voice) FIDO: 2:243/43.5
