153/Printers/Qume/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.

File contents
Read_Me file for Qume printers. ------------------------------- The definition file in the Qume directory is for a Qume ScripTEN printer. If you have a Qume CrystalPrint Publisher, the same definition file can be used, but it is possible that problems may be experienced with early versions of the CrystalPrint in two areas: 1. The timing of their Centronics interface was not always compatible 2. The PostScript '#Copies' command was not supported. Discussions with Qume confirmed that a new version of the firmware in the Qume CrystalPrint was needed. The problems have been fixed and you can obtain a free of charge upgrade of the firmware for your printer directly from Qume. Their address and telephone number is: Qume Ltd Bridgewater Close Reading Berkshire RG3 1JT Tel: 0734 584646 You should quote details including serial number of the printer.
