!ArcWorld/Goodies/InitDM/!InitDM/!Help
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.

!InitDM ======= This RISC OS-application initiates dot matrix printers, i.e. resets the printer and sets font pitch, line spacing, page length, margins, etc. Afther that you can start plain text printing by means of the RISC OS printer driver !PrinterDM. The file !PCodes is specific for a dot matrix printer. Provided is a driver for the STAR NL-10 printer, but it is easy to change the file for your own printer (see the !PCodes-file for further instructions).
