GSport Emulated Printer
|
||||
|
||||
* GSport Setup
|
||||
|
||||
After GSport starts, press F4 to enter the text based menu and select the "Parallel Card Configuration" option.
|
||||
By default, printer emulation is turned off. Enable it by setting "Parallel Card in Slot 1" to "On":

||||

|
||||
|
||||
Parallel Output for Applesoft text (i.e. when using PR#1) should be set to Mask off high bit,
|
||||
otherwise output won't look like the ASCII you expect.
|
||||
In all other cases (like printing from normal applications) it should remain on the default Send Full 8-bit data.
|
||||
Optionally you can set the virtual printer to ignore the high bit with ESC/P codes.
|
||||
|
||||
Next, navigate back to the main menu and select the "Virtual Printer Configuration" option:
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
Printer Timeout configures how long until a form feed is automatically sent to the printer
|
||||
(which forces the emulator to kick out a "page".)
|
||||
It should be set higher for PR#1-type printing to work correctly.
|
||||
If it is set to "Never", you have to manually send a form feed, fill a page with text, or exit the emulator before any output is saved.
|
||||
This behavior is similar to modern laser/inkjet printers when they are used with Applesoft.
|
||||
Most applications are good about sending form feeds at page end, so this issue usually doesn't crop up.
|
||||
|
||||
Make sure to configure font locations.
|
||||
Roman is used by default and the printing emulation won't work if none at all are defined.
|
||||
Any monospaced truetype font you have will work.
|
||||
|
||||
Printer output should appear in the same directory as GSport as page1.bmp, page2.bmp, etc.
