Microsoft Word 5.0 Printer Drivers
----------------------------------

This directory contains two printer drivers for the Kodak
Diconix 150 printer.  Their filenames are as follows:

DICONIXE.PRD   (Epson mode, DIP switch #6 down)
DICONIXI.PRD   (IBM mode, DIP switch #6 up)

Epson mode supports italic characters; IBM mode provides extended
character support, including line draw characters.  Select the
driver that best meets your needs, and set DIP switch #6
accordingly.

Use the DOS COPY command to copy the selected driver(s) from this
diskette to your application disk or hard drive.  (Example:
COPY A:\WORD5\DICONIX*.PRD C:\WORD5).

The Print Options menu contains two models of the Diconix 150:
serial and parallel.  When using justified paragraph formats or
boxes, use at least .2" left and right margins (or paragraph
indents).  The Epson mode driver is exactly the same as in
Word 4.0, to provide compatibility with other documents.  The IBM
mode driver supports not only graphic boxes, but imported graphics
as well.  It will print at 8 lines per inch as a default but if
line spacing (in Format Paragraph) is set to AUTO, the 12 point
font will print 6 lines per inch.  The page length must be set at
14.667".  When importing graphics and using adjacent boxes, make
sure the graphic width (or frame width) and text position from
graphic (in Format position) add up to an even 1/10th of an inch.
If not, the box may be printed with a broken vertical line due to
rounding errors.
