RetroPrinter Support

Here is a File I printed on My Panasonic KX-P2123 24 Pin Printer then scanned to PDF. Miller Made Military Graphics Utility Scanned Print.pdf

Here is the same printed output run through the Retro-Printer saved directly to PDF. Miller Made Military Graphics Utility Retro-Printed Directly to PDF.pdf ...

I attached the shareware program in the last 7zip file.

Here is another 7zip containing hexdump, Raw, Actual print scan,pdf and a shareware program I mentioned previously trying.

This time I swapped out everything and used an Atari 800xl, Atari 850, different set of SIO Cables and a different parallel cable.

I also used some 70% alcohol and a tooth ...

Yes, that is the same Print Shop I have been using. I was also using this Print tool http://gury.atari8.info/software/1768.php This prints out all the graphics from print shop graphics disks, in little 2.5cm squares, about 60 images per page.

I have big hands and not good for soldering anything small. My ...
