 INTRODUCTION
LASR_MAN prints ÿASCII text files on a laser or ink jet printer in any of 
thirty-six ÿdifferent ÿstyles. ÿÿThey ÿinclude ÿthe ÿnormal ÿportrait ÿor 
landscape orientation with either 10, ÿ12, ÿ17, 23 ÿor 33 ÿcharacters per 
inch (cpi), ÿlandscape with two pages per side (pps) ÿat 17 ÿcpi or eight 
pps at 33 cpi, and portrait with four pps at 23 cpi. Each of these styles 
may ÿuse ÿmultiple ÿpasses, ÿprinting on both sides of each sheet. ÿÿThis 
allows up to sixteen pages of sixty ÿlines each to be printed on a single 
sheet ÿof ÿletter ÿsize paper. ÿConfiguration data is included ÿto ÿallow 
printing on A4 and legal size paper. 

In addition, the program has the ability to print individual files, ÿeach 
in the form of a booklet, or a group of files may be printed together, as 
chapters of a book, in the form of a manual with two, four or eight pages 
per side. Each book page will contain one, two or four text pages. 

Other ÿoptions ÿinclude selection of only files that have ÿbeen ÿchanged, 
page ÿÿtitles, ÿÿsubstitution ÿof ÿspaces ÿfor ÿtabs, ÿÿbinding ÿmargins, 
underlining, ÿcovers, ÿa half-tone "rubber stamp", ÿprint font selection, 
and a variety of option switches. 
Options may be specified as an environment variable, on the command line, 
in ÿan ÿoption file or ÿby menu selection while the program ÿis ÿrunning. 
Files to be printed may be selected in the same manner. 

LASR_MAN ÿprints only unformatted ASCII files. ÿIf you use it to print ÿa 
.COM file or a document stored in coded form by a word processor such ÿas 
WordPerfect, the output will look strange. 

The only control characters that ÿare passed to the printer are ÿcarriage 
return (13), ÿline feed (10) and form feed (12). The tab character (9) is 
converted to spaces. All other control characters (0-31) ÿare replaced by 
a 'þ'. Valid characters (32-255) are printed 'as-is'.

 PRINTER
LASR_MAN ÿcan ÿsupports ÿboth LaserJet and ÿDeskJet ÿprinters. ÿÿLaserJet 
support is denoted on this menu by "LJet" and DeskJet by "DJet". 

A variety of program parameters are affected by the choice ÿof ÿprinters. 
These include PAPER SIZE, ÿPAPER SOURCE and PRINT FONT ÿTO USE, ÿboth for 
the individual fonts and globally. 
The print fonts available for the various printer selections include:

LaserJet +.....Internal and Type 1 soft fonts - a 192 character soft font 
               set ÿ(ASCII ÿ32-127 ÿand 160-255), ÿin both ÿportrait ÿand 
               landscape, ÿÿis required by some ÿof ÿthe ÿearly ÿLaserJet 
               models and their compatibles. In general, use Type 1 fonts 
               only if your printer will not work with Type 2. 
LaserJet II....Internal and Type 2 soft fonts - ASCII characters ÿ32-255, 
               in both portrait and landscape, ÿis required for ÿLaserJet 
               II and compatibles that cannot rotate ÿa ÿportrait font to 
               landscape. (HP IID/P can rotate fonts) 
LaserJet III/IV..Internal and Type 2 soft fonts, ÿin portrait mode ÿonly, 
               for ÿLaserJet IID/IIP/III/IV and compatibles. ÿTHIS IS THE 
               NORMAL DEFAULT. 
DeskJet, 0K....Internal fonts only, required for DeskJet, DeskJet +, ÿand 
               DeskJet 500 and compatibles. ÿThese printers, without add-
               itional memory, are not capable of accepting soft fonts. 
DeskJet,ú256K..Internal and soft fonts for DeskJet printers with at least 
               a 256K memory cartridge, and compatibles. 
This ÿPRINTER selection function will not change these program parameters 
until a different printer is selected. At that time, ÿall of the affected 
parameters are set to their default values. 

Í>To leave the PRINTER as currently selected, press [ESCAPE].

Í>To change the PRINTER to the desired one, ÿpress its highlighted letter 
or move the highlight bar to it and press [ENTER]. A print change message 
will then be displayed.

Í>To leave the printer as currently set, press [ESCAPE].

Í>To change the printer, press any other key.

 PRINT FONTS TO USE
Printer ÿfonts used for the five possible output pitches may be ÿselected 
by use of this option. 

Most ÿlaser/ink jet printers have internal 10/12/16 ÿcpi fonts ÿ(although 
they may ÿnot ÿbe ÿable to print these three fonts in ÿboth ÿPortrait and 
Landscape). ÿUse of the internal fonts, ÿor those from a cartridge, ÿwill 
produce ÿhigher ÿprint speeds than  using ÿthe soft fonts, ÿÿdue ÿto ÿthe 
required ÿsoft ÿfont ÿdownload ÿtime. ÿAll ÿfive ÿsupplied ÿsets ÿof ÿthe 
downloadable soft fonts are modified Letter Gothic. 
The three choices, for each of the five pitches, are: 

 INTERNAL......Use ÿan internal printer font, ÿone from a cartridge, or a 
               previously loaded soft font.  Do NOT download a soft font.
               LASER DEFAULT FOR PICA, ELITE, AND LINE PRINTER PITCHES.
 192úCHAR......Download ÿa ÿTYPE 1 soft font. ÿThis font will ÿprint ÿthe 
               ASCII characters  32-127 ÿand 160-255. ÿThis option should 
               be ÿused for older LaserJets and those that emulate ÿthem. 
               (NOT AVAILABLE WITH DESKJET PRINTERS) 
 256úCHAR......Download a TYPE 2 soft font (normal). ÿThis font ÿproduces 
               all ÿprintable ÿcharacters and should be used for most ÿHP 
               II/III/IV-compatibles. DEFAULT FOR SMALL AND TINY PITCHES.

spaces. 

For example, ÿif a page has lines that are 85 characters long, ÿbut there 
are 5 blank spaces at the beginning of each line, ÿsetting NO LEFT MARGIN 
to 5 will allow the page to print properly, ÿusing a style of output that 
has 80 characters/line. 

Í>To ÿchange ÿthe NO LEFT MARGIN option setting, ÿpress ÿits ÿhighlighted 
letter or ÿmove the highlighted bar to it and press [ENTER]. ÿIts current 
value will be displayed for editing.

alignment of the final output. 

The ÿSPACES/TAB option switch should be set to the value used by the text 
editor or word processor that generated the document to be printed. ÿThis 
value is normally eight spaces per tab. 

Í>To change the SPACES/TAB option setting, ÿpress its highlighted ÿletter 
or ÿmove the highlighted bar to it and press [ENTER]. ÿIts current ÿvalue 
will be displayed for editing. 

Í>To ÿedit the SPACES/TAB data, ÿuse the cursor control keys shown on the

Í>To cancel changing the SPACES/TAB data, press [ESCAPE]. 
TABúPRINTúWIDTHúSWITCH....Although ÿtabs ÿmay ÿhave ÿbeen ÿdefined ÿas ÿa 
specific width, ÿsuch as ÿeight spaces, ÿÿthey can be printed out with ÿa 
different width by use of the option switch. 

Í>To ÿchange the TAB PRINT WIDTH option setting, ÿpress ÿits ÿhighlighted 
letter or move the highlighted bar to it and press [ENTER]. ÿIts ÿcurrent

TEXTúWORDúWRAPúSWITCH....When ÿthe ÿfile ÿtext line is ÿlonger ÿthan ÿthe 
selected style of output print line, ÿthe part of the text that will ÿfit 
on the first line  is printed. ÿThe remaining text for that line is ÿthen 
handled based on the selected text word wrap option. ÿAvailable TEXT WORD 
WRAP options include: 

+++............The ÿfirst ÿoutput text line is filled completely and ÿthe 
               remaining ÿtext ÿis then placed on the ÿnext ÿoutput ÿline 
               preceded by line continue character string. 
Cut............The ÿfirst ÿoutput text line is filled completely and ÿthe 
               remaining text for that line is discarded. 
Yes............The first output text line is filled to the last full word 
               and ÿthe ÿremaining text is then placed on the next output 
               line. ÿÿSingle ÿcarriage ÿreturns ÿare ignored and ÿdouble 
               carriage ÿreturns ÿare ÿprocessed ÿas ÿsuch. ÿÿThis ÿis ÿa 
               "paragraph" approach ÿto preparing the output and will not 
               work well with tabular or graphical text material. 

Í>To ÿtoggle ÿthe TEXT WORD WRAP OPTION SWITCH, ÿÿpress ÿits ÿhighlighted 
letter or move the highlight bar to it and press [ENTER]. 

 LINES PER PAGE LIMIT
The ÿLINES ÿPER PAGE LIMIT option can be used to force a text ÿfile ÿthat

for this printout, ÿÿto ÿcontrol pagination and properly paginate it when 
the files lines per page is different than the selected style of output's 
lines per page. 

For example, ÿif a text file has 66 ÿlines per page without any form feed 
characters ÿand ÿthe selected style of output prints 72 ÿlines per ÿpage, 
setting the ÿLINES PER PAGE LIMIT to 66 ÿwill result in ÿproperly printed 
pagination. 

Í>To ÿchange the LINES PER PAGE LIMIT, ÿpress its highlighted ÿletter ÿor 
move the highlight bar to it and press [ENTER]. ÿEdit the LINES PER ÿPAGE 
LIMIT as desired. 

Í>To accept the edited LINES PER PAGE LIMIT, press [ENTER].

Í>To ÿcancel editing and leave the LINES PER PAGE LIMIT as currently set, 
press [ESCAPE]. 

 STAMP-IT!
The STAMP-IT! ÿoption ÿallows selection of a text phrase for ÿa half-tone 
"rubber ÿstamp", ÿÿthat will then be printed as background on ÿeach ÿtext 
page. The size of the half-tone letters - about 3/8" ÿhigh - is fixed and 
does not change with the style of output. The "rubber stamp" text will be 
printed in the selected STYLE. 

Í>To cancel printing of a "rubber stamp", select "NONE".
