Color Scripsit and the Line Printer VIII
Garrett E. McGowan 3207 Evergreen Ave. Hopewell, Virginia 23860
This correspondence was prepared on a Line Printer VIII, which will do 3 sizes of characters. It was also done by Color Scripsit on a 32K Color Computer. While the Color Scripsit was basically prepared to be used with a Line Printer VII, which I also have, it will do the job on a Line Printer VIII as well.
To do so the computer must be off, with the Program Pak out. Now follow these steps:
1. Turn on the printer
2. Turn on the computer (comes up in BASIC)
3. Initialize the printer to the appropriate type style 'PRINT#-2, CHR$(27);CHR$(n)'
4. Turn off the computer (leave the printer on)
5. Insert the Scripsit Program Pak
6. Turn the computer on
7. Choose option #6 (Change Standards)
8. Set Line Width and Margins as appropriate
9. Proceed as usual
Maybe this will assist those who have a Line Printer VIII. It certainly helps me.
