D.Using PrimeraProÕs FARGO: Device Print Program

When canceling a print job you may need to turn the printer off and on to complete the cancellation and clear the paper from the printer. You will also need to cancel the print job from within the application.

Multitasking

If you want to print from applications which will be running simultaneously, the printer device will be locked by the first application to print until you have exited from that applicationÕs print box. If you attempt to print from the second application, a warning may or may not be issued to tell you that the printer is still in use (even if it is idle).

Applications

The PrimeraPro will print well with any application which uses the ÓPreferences PrinterÒ interface properly. The PrimeraPro will not print well, however, from programs which dither the image before sending it to the printer. ADPro and a few other programs fall into this category. If you have questions about your particular program, contact the software manufacturer or FARGO Technical Support.

The PrimeraPro printer driver diskette also includes an additional print program called the FARGO: device which loads with the PPCI and shows up as an icon on the desktop. This device allows you to print images in full 24-bit color by bypassing the Preferences print function and, therefore, the color limitations which lie within. Any of the native Amiga file formats such as IFF, ILBM, Ham-6, or Ham-8 can be printed through the FARGO: device. The FARGO: device is only compatible with Amiga DOS version 2.x or higher.

To print through the FARGO: device, you simply

Copy As or Save As the file to the FARGO: device rather than using the Print options from within the various software programs. You do not need to use the Print section of the software programs when printing through the FARGO: device. The PPCI is still used, however, to provide some of the controls such as ribbon and paper choices. The FARGO: device has a wide range of controls from A to Z.
