153/Printers/Star/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 Star printers. ------------------------------- The following table shows which printer definition file to use with which Star printer, together with a brief indication of the DIP switch or control panel settings needed on the printer: Printer File DIP Switches/Ctrl Panel ------- ---- ----------------------- DP-510 Star.DP-510 FR-10 Epson.EX-800 FR-15 Epson.EX-800 LC-10 Epson.EX-800 (switch 1-6 ON) LC-15 Epson.EX-800 (switch 1-6 ON) LC-20 Epson.EX-800 LC-100 Star.LC-200 LC-200 Star.LC-200 (EDS A-1 ON) ND-10/15 Epson.LX-80 NL-10 Epson.LX-80 NR-10/15 Epson.LX-80 NX-15 Epson.LX-80 ZA-200 Star.LC-200 ZA-250 Star.LC-200 LC24-10 Epson.LQ-860 LC24-15 Epson.LQ-860 LC24-15 II Epson.LQ-860 LC24-20 Star.LC24-200 LC24-20 II Star.LC24-200 LC24-30 Star.LC24-200 LC24-100 Star.LC24-200 LC24-200 Star.LC24-200 (EDS A-1 ON) LC24-300 Star.LC24-200 NB24-10/15 Epson.LQ-860 NB15 Epson.LQ-860 XB24-10 Epson.LQ-860 XB24-15 Epson.LQ-860 XB24-200 Star.LC24-200 XB24-250 Star.LC24-200 SJ-48 (inkjet) Canon.BJC-800 (switch 1 ON) SJ-144 Star.SJ-144 LaserPrinter4 HP.LasJet-II LaserPrinter4III HP.LasJet-III LaserPrinter8 HP.LasJet+ LaserPrinter8III HP.LasJet-III LS-5 HP.LasJet-II LS-5 EX HP.LasJet-III LS-5 TT HP.LasJet-III The StarJet SJ-48 inkjet printer may alternatively be used with the IBM.Pro-X24E file if the DIP switches are set for IBM emulation mode (switch 1 OFF). However, all resolutions above 180 by 180 dpi will be interlaced whereas using Epson mode and the Canon.BJC-800 file gives full 360 by 360 dpi non interlaced. The LaserPrinter 4, 4III and 8, 8III StarScript options can be used with Postscript files as well as HP files. The "Star.DP-510" printer definition file is for the Star DP-510 printer. The maximum vertical resolution is specified in multiples of 1/144 inch using ESC "3" on this printer (instead of the usual 1/216 inch) and so vertical interlacing is limited to two passes (144 dpi resolution). ISO Latin 1 text characters are obtained using the unusual range of top bit set characters available on this printer, plus some use of backspace over-printing and some use of Epson standard ESC "R" international character set selections. There is no use of double strike mode (ESC "G" and ESC "H") or superscripts and subscripts (ESC "S" and ESC "T") as there are some problems with this printer which make these features difficult if not impossible to use reliably. For the Star DP-510 DIP switch 3 must be OFF (select 8 bit interface) and DIP switch 4 must be OFF (no auto line feed on carriage return). In the unlikely event that you need auto line feed set to ON, then you can use !PrintEdit to remove the trailing ",10" from the "Line skip:", "Line end 1:" and "Line end 2:" fields in all the graphics resolutions. The "Star.LC-200" printer definition file is for the Star LC-200 Colour printer in standard emulation (EDS A-1 ON) and other similar Star 9 pin printers. The graphics definitions are the same as the Epson.EX-800 file. The text definitions are the same as the Epson.LQ-860 file, except that the LC-200's ability to select IBM Code Page 850 (Multi-lingual) is used to print ISO Latin 1 top bit set characters. The Legal international character set (ESC "R" 64) is also used. You should not attempt to print in colour unless your printer has a colour ribbon installed. Please see the Epson.Read_Me file for comments about printing in colour at interlaced resolutions (above 120 by 72 DPI). The "Star.LC24-200" printer definition file is for the Star LC24-200 Colour printer in standard emulation (EDS A-1 ON) and other similar Star 24 pin printers. The graphics definitions are the same as the Epson.LQ-860 file. The text definitions are also the same as the Epson.LQ-860 file, except that the LC24-200's ability to select IBM Code Page 850 (Multi-lingual) is used to print ISO Latin 1 top bit set characters. The Legal international character set (ESC "R" 64) is also used. You should not attempt to print in colour unless your printer has a colour ribbon installed. Please see the Epson.Read_Me file for comments about printing in colour at interlaced resolutions (above 180 by 180 DPI). The "Star.SJ-144" printer definition file is for use with the Star SJ-144 Colour printer. It consists of the graphics support from the Canon.BJC-800 file and the text support from the Star.LC24-200 file. The SJ-144 printer does work with the BJC-800 or BJC-600 files, but with the SJ-144 file you get better character mappings due to selecting Code Page 850 for top bit set characters.
