Congratulations on having purchased a serial, impact dot matrix printer that offers you more quality, greater flexibility and convenience, and superior reliability than you could find in any other printer in the same price range.

As you already know (or are about to learn), the Gemini-lox and Gemini-15X let you print both regular and italicized alphabets, as well as normal, elite (smaller), condensed, enlarged, emphasized, and double-strike characters. You can print on regular stationery, multiple-sheet forms, fan- fold computer paper, or paper fed from a roll (European style).

The graphics capability provided by the Gemini printers is limited only by your graphic talents, and includes three bit-image modes: Low Resolu- tion (60 by 72 dots per square inch), High Resolution (120 by 144) and Ultra High Resolution (240 by 144).With all this printing power at your fingertips, what are you waiting for? Let’s get started!

This User’s Manual is organized to serve both the first-time user and the sophisticated computer buff. The first five chapters provide the basics you need for putting your printer to work in most home and office applications.

Chapters 6 through 10 deliver information for intermediate and advanced users, supported by technically rich appendices. If you are a beginner, you might want to look at Chapters 6-10 sometime in the future, when your curiosity about how the printer does what it does has replaced your initial interest in what it can do.

Take a moment to examine the Table of Contents on the following page. It shows you how this manual is organized to best serve your information needs. You should note, if you are just now unpacking your new printer from its shipment packaging, that Appendix G shows you what you have and how it all fits together. This manual’s first several appendices are computer- specific, and help you connect your new Gemini with your computer. At the back of this manual, there is a glossary that gives simple definitions of com- mon terms. Following the glossary is an index to help you quickly find answers to your questions.

A Quick-Reference Guide is printed on the inside folding flap of the back cover. By reading this manual carefully, and practicing with your Gemini, you should soon be able to achieve full printer performance just by referring to this Quick-Reference Guide.

Congratulations on your purchase of a Gemini. May it work for you long and well.
