153/Printers/Panasonic/Read_Me

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

Read_Me file for Panasonic printers.
------------------------------------

Panasonic printers usually closely follow industry
standard emulations such as Epson or IBM series.
In some cases the printers will have extra or
different features such as different font sets.
Also, the KX-P1124i and KX-P2124 have 90 column
print width rather than 80 column.

If you cannot find a Printer Definition File for
your Panasonic printer in the Panasonic directory,
then please refer to the list below and choose one
of the suggested files from the Epson or IBM
directories. Not all of these will have been
tested with the Panasonic printer, but should work
based on information provided by Panasonic.
