Read_Me file for NEC printers. ------------------------------ The "NEC.P6-Plus" printer definition file is for use with the NEC P6 Plus and NEC compatible 24 pin printers. Most of the graphics resolutions are 24 pin dumps. The 360 DPI vertical resolution graphics dumps are interlaced and as such require the support of the FS "3" control sequence to set n/360 inch line pitch. Note that colour printing should only be selected if you have installed a colour ribbon in your NEC P6 Plus - the ribbon that comes with the NEC P6 Plus is black only. ISO Latin 1 text characters are obtained by using ESC "t" 1 and ESC "6" to select IBM character set 2 instead of italic characters for the top bit set printer characters. In addition ESC "R" sequences are used to print some of the characters. The "NEC.P6-Plus" file will in fact work with many Epson compatible 24 pin printers, with the exception of the 360 DPI vertical resolution graphics modes which use the NEC specific command. Colour printing is available at all supported resolutions, but it should be noted that the interlaced graphics printouts ie. 180 by 360 DPI or higer, result in a large number of print head passes (8 or 16) over the same line on the paper and on the second or subsquent interlace passes, the light ribbon colours are printed on top of dark colours already on the paper. This may cause contamination of the lighter ribbon colour.
