%CO:A,12,70%%H2%Library File Suite Z174%H2% for the Hewlett-Packard DeskJet 500


This is a set of files to demonstrate some of the features of the 
DeskJet 500 printer. It may also be worth trying the files on other 
printers using HP emulations.

%H2%Z174B%H2% HP Cat

This file, written in BASIC, demonstrates the graphics printing 
capabilities of the printer. To use, have the DJ500 on line and enter 
BASIC, at the prompt type %H2%LOAD "LIBRARY/Z174B"%H2%. Once loaded type %H2%RUN%H2%, 
answer the prompt, and watch the screen. This will report the speed 
of sending the graphics to the printer, about 9 seconds, whilst the 
printer will print the demonstration in about 12 seconds. The screen 
clears after a further 20 seconds.

The program is developed from the listing in the HP DJ 500 Technical 
Reference Manual, pages 8-24/26. (Part Nr C1206-90030)

The program is also discussed in my Notes on Printing, pages 41 - 42.

All graphic codes Dec 10 and higher are listed in Hex, i.e. Dec 10 = 
Hex (&0A), this will make comparison with the original list easier.

Also, compression method 3 has been converted to uncompressed codes 
so that the program should run on a wide range of Hewlett-Packard 
LaserJet printers, as well as earlier DeskJets and emulations.

%H2%Z174C%H2% HP Printer Driver

This is a printer driver that I currently use for my Notes on 
Printing. Whilst it is not essential to load this prior to printing 
file Z174D it will ensure that the file prints as I intend. 

%H2%WARNING!%H2% I still suffer from the odd %H4%FAIL%H4% message so ensure that 
suspended activities are saved prior to entering the PrinterEd.

To use, enter the Printer Editor, if you have made any changes to 
your current PD save it. Load the file, %H2%<>FL Z174C%H2% and update the 
Printer Editor with %H2%<>FU%H2%.

%H2%Z174D%H2% Supplement 2 from my Notes on Printing.

This supplement specifically deals with my experience of the DJ 500. 
Read it on screen and print it as well. Pages 3 and 4 are designed to 
be printed back to back. The actual embedded codes will control the 
printer and the explanation codes will print out. Page 2 will allow 
you to print the file without installing Z174c.PDR as the printer 
driver. However, it is then likely that the secondary font will not 
work as planned nor will the black squares (� and used to represent 
the ESC code in the embedded codes) print as planned.
