DJET520C.PRD and DJET520D.PRD Notes 
===================================

The enclosed printer drivers (DJET520C.PRD and DJET520D.PRD) allow a Marcel 2.2 
user to print both internal proportional fonts supplied with the Hewlett 
Packard Deskjet 520 printer (CG Times and Univers) in every available point 
size, i.e. 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14.  

DJET520C.PRD prints point sizes which match the point sizes specified on the 
Marcel Select Font menu, i.e. 7, 10, 12, and 14.  Other selections will print 
the nearest matching point size, i.e. selecting 11 will print point size 10.

DJET520D.PRD prints all available point sizes, i.e. 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14.  
The Marcel Select Font menu's hard-coded point size selections do not match 
these sizes.  These are the actual sizes printed by the DJET520D.PRD driver for 
a given menu selection:

Select Font Menu Point Size:       Actual Printed Point Size: 
7                                            5 
9                                            6 
10                                           7 
11                                           8 
12                                           10
14                                           12
24                                           14


I have not yet succeeded in getting the internal Letter Gothic font to work at 
all, nor have I been successful in getting Courier to print properly in 6 point 
size.  The fact that both these fonts are not proportional may have something 
to do with the problem.  However, DJET520D.PRD does allow the user to print in 
either Univers or CG Times in 5, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, and 14 point type, which is 
everything allowed by those internal Deskjet 520 fonts.  Courier will print 
nicely in 12 point; 6 point Courier prints in the same width as 12 point, which 
is amusing but not very useful.

I have made two other improvements in this driver: 
-    Draft mode now works, and can be selected from the Adjust Output menu.  
The printer will automatically revert to full quality mode after printing the 
document. 
-    I have set the driver up to allow printing of the copyright symbol (c).  
Those Marcel users who are musicians (a large portion of the Atari community) 
will probably like that.  See my notes in either driver for comments on the 
technique used.

I have provided a copy of my drivers on disk with this note for the 
unrestricted use and enjoyment of registered users of Marcel.  If you are not 
registered, I urge you to do so.  Ten dollars is a very reasonable price for a 
product as good as this one.

This is my first semi-successful attempt at putting together a printer driver, 
and I have no illusions that it's the best possible solution.  If anyone 
succeeds in working out the Deskjet 520 driver setup for Letter Gothic and 
Courier, please let me and other Marcel users know via notification to Marcel 
Software.  Thanks!

For the record, I will note here that any user of either of these drivers does 
so at his or her own risk.  If you choose to use either driver, any problems 
that result are your responsibility, not mine.
