Control is a Workbench tool that is designed to work with any printer that is 
supported in the Amiga Preferences.  This tool will allow you to quickly 
change from one printer mode to another.  This program works well with 
Scribble!, and several other popular word processors and editors.

The program is mouse driven (except in two places).  The screen is divided up
into four major sections.

The RESET section contains a button that will reset your printer to power-up
condition.

The Command section (located in the upper right of the screen) is the printer
test area, the eject the page (TOF), show current printer settings (SET) and 
the HELP command.  

The third section, the action section is where you select the type of printing
you wish.  The following is a list of commands that the CONTROL PANEL supports:

      NLQ   - Near Letter Quality
      DRAFT - Draft Mode
      CDND  - Condensed Print (15 CPI)
      NORMAL- Normal Spacing (10 or 12 CPI)
      DB STK- Double Strike ON 
              (often used for printers that do not have a NLQ mode)
      DB OFF- Turn Double Strike OFF
      BOLD  - Set printer to Bold type printing
      BD OFF- Turn off Bold mode 
      ITALCS- Set printer in Italics mode
      IT OFF- Turn Italics off
      10 PCH- Set printer to 10 Characters per inch (CPI)
      12 PCH- Set printer to 12 Characters per inch (CPI)

The fourth section is the Status section.  This section will show you what
the printer is currently doing, or the last command that you executed.

What is this program useful for?

This program will work with databases for example.  It will allow you to
fine-tune your reports, give your reports a capability that the programmers
did not think you needed.

I do hope that you find this useful, if you do I would welcome some bucks, if
not, maybe I will get you with the next whiz-bang!
