Commodore CR

Post by flip »

Hi,

Trying the retroprinter on a C64 with a parallel adapter, I run into problems. It seems that printers had a auto-linefeed option, that would add a LF whenever they got a CR. The C64 only sends CR and lines are printed on top of each other. If I understand correctly, the linefeed_ending doesn't make any difference in generating the png or pdf...

What's more, the interface manual mentions that ground pin 14 on the interface should enable auto-linefeed on most printers... It doesn't seem to do that on the retroprinter.

Can't attach any files here (pdf or raw extension not allowed...)

I am working on v3.2 of the software too - it would be easy enough to add a new configuration option for line feeds.

I have also allowed documents and raw files to be added as an attachment to the forum
