The NX1000/B printer driver is written for the Star NX-1000 printer but will work with similar printers with little or no modification.

Unlike other printer drivers with multiple choice options this one does not rely on a dialogue box or text prompt for you to make your selection. In stead, the driver prompts you by ringing the bell on your printer, in the NX1000, or by changing the color of a square, in NX1000B. Each time the bell rings or the color changes, enter your selection. The color sqaure will revert back to its original color before printing begins. Here are the choices you can make in the order that you make them. See next page for selections and for the embedded text codes.

1) Font or Dpi

2) Page Length

3) Character Pitch

4) Proportionality

The majority of the source for this was taken from EX800 V3.3 by Kevin McConnell. Of course, almost all printer drivers are the result of George Wells' superior efforts. He also solved the problem of this driver not being able to print geoPaint files from deskTop. J. Bendixsen's driver was picked apart for the embedded command code.
