153/Printers/Integrex/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 Integrex printers. ----------------------------------- The "Integrex.Coljet132" printer definition file is for use with the Integrex Colourjet 132 printer. This definition is unlikely to work with any other printer, unless the printer provides an Integrex Colourjet 132 emulation mode. ISO Latin 1 text character mappings are provided, using the unusual selection of top bit set characters available on the Colourjet 132. Backspace overprinting is not used, as the Colourjet 132 cannot backspace. The range of fancy text highlights supported is reasonable. There are only three graphics resolutions, and the highest one (160 by 252 DPI) is unlikely to be useful since it is very slow and it tends to put too much ink onto the paper. Note that you need firmware revision 9.14 or later in your Colourjet 132 or you may encounter problems with text printing. To check your firmware revision, switch the printer on while holding down the LF button. Contact Integrex if you need a firmware upgrade. The "Integrex.ColJet2000" printer definition file is for use with the Integrex Colourjet 2000 printer. The range of fancy text highlights is limited on this printer. The ISO Latin 1 text character mappings are good since the printer is HP PaintJet compatible and therefore has most of the Latin 1 character set built in. There are only two graphics resolutions (90 and 180 DPI) but both of them are perfectly usable. There is a problem with graphics printing on the Colourjet 2000 with firmware revision 1.02. Sometimes the output on the paper is inverted ie. black prints as white and vice versa. If this happens, press Escape (to stop printing) and switch the printer off and back on again. Print your document again. This time it will probably be printed correctly. To check your firmware revision, switch the printer on while holding down the LF button. If you think you need a firmware upgrade you should contact Integrex. The Colourjet 2000 functions better when driven exclusively as an HP PaintJet compatible printer. You should check with your dealer or third party software vendors about availability of software to drive the printer in this manner.
