Its * main difference being that it was parallel. * * This code should work fine on Imagewriters, as they have a superset * of commands compared to the DMP printer. * * This driver does not produce the smalles output files possible. To * do that, it should look through the output strings and find repeat * occurances of characters, and use the escape sequence that allows * printing repeat sequences. However, as I see it, this the limiting * factor in printing is not transmission speed to the printer itself, * but rather, how fast the print head can move. This is assuming the * printer is set up with a reasonable speed (9600 bps) * * WHAT THE CODE DOES AND DOES NOT DO: * * To print out images, it sets the printer for unidirection printing * and 15 cpi (120 dpi). IT sets line feed to 1/9 of an inch (72 dpi). * When finished, it sets things back to bidirection print, 1/8" line * feeds, and 12 cpi. There does not appear to be a way to reset * things to initial values. * * This code does not set for 8 bit characters (which is required). It * also assumes that carriage return/newline is needed, and not just * carriage return. These are all switch settings on the DMP, and * I have configured them for 8 bit data and cr only. * * You can search for the strings Init and Reset to find the strings * that set up the printer and clear things when finished, and change * them to meet your needs. * * Also, you need to make sure that the printer daemon (assuming unix) * doesn't change the data as it is being printed. I have set my * printcap file (sunos 4.1.1) with the string: * ms=pass8,-opost * and it works fine. * * Feel free to improve this code if you want. However, please make * sure that the old DMP will still be supported by any changes. This * may mean making an imagewriter device, and just copying this file * to something like gdevimage.c. * * The limiting factor of the DMP is the vertical resolution. However, I * see no way to do anything about this. Horizontal resolution could * be increased by using 17 cpi (136 dpi). I believe the Imagewriter * supports 24 cpi (192 dpi). However, the higher dpi, the slower * the printing. * * Dot Matrix Code by Mark Wedel (master@cats.ucsc.edu) */ #include "gdevprn.h" #ifndef X_DPI # define X_DPI 120 #endif #ifndef Y_DPI # define Y_DPI 72 #endif /* The device descriptors */ private dev_proc_print_page(dmp_print_page); /* Standard DMP device */ gx_device_printer gs_dmp_device = prn_device(prn_std_procs, "dmp", 85, /* width_10ths, 8.5" */ 110, /* height_10ths, 11" */ X_DPI, Y_DPI, 0, 0, 0.5, 0, /* margins */ 1, dmp_print_page); /* ------ Internal routines ------ */ /* Send the page to the printer. */ private int dmp_print_page(gx_device_printer *pdev, FILE *prn_stream) { int line_size = gdev_mem_bytes_per_scan_line((gx_device *)pdev); /* Note that in_size is a multiple of 8. */ int in_size = line_size * 8; byte *buf1 = (byte *)gs_malloc(in_size, 1, "eps_print_page(buf1)"); byte *buf2 = (byte *)gs_malloc(in_size, 1, "eps_print_page(buf2)"); byte *in = buf1; byte *out = buf2; int lnum = 0; /* Check allocations */ if ( buf1 == 0 || buf2 == 0 ) { if ( buf1 ) gs_free((char *)buf1, in_size, 1, "eps_print_page(buf1)"); if ( buf2 ) gs_free((char *)buf2, in_size, 1, "eps_print_page(buf2)"); return_error(gs_error_VMerror); } /* Initialize the printer and reset the margins. */ fwrite("\r\n\033>\033q\033T16", 1, 10, prn_stream); /* Print lines of graphics */ while ( lnum < pdev->height ) { byte *inp; byte *in_end; byte *out_end; int lcnt; register byte *out_blk; /* The apple DMP printer seems to be odd in that the bit order on * each line is reverse what might be expected.
