Excellent - how about uploading some pdfs of generated images compared to the original (if you have any examples).

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
This was printed on my Panason Kx-P2123 24 Pin Printer then scanned to PDF.

Here is the same printed output run through the Retro-Printer saved directly to PDF. I am liking how clean the output from the Retro-Printer is, plus is Inkless and paperless!!

Best Regards

OK that actually produces a clearer output than the original printer which is good and is a great comparison of the graphics and text.

The text is offset on the Retro-Printer version - so it might be worth altering your default font - not sure what the default font is used by the Panasonic (possibly set via DIP switches). The fonts used by the Retro-Printer are our own design, so it may well need some tweaking
