Appendix D

Using Your

P-80

with the Geneva™ PX-8™

Since your

P-80

is a portable printer, it is a suitable companion for

any portable computer. With the P-80, you can print anywhere, thus

eliminating the need to wait until you have access to a desktop printer.

The Geneva is one example of a portable computer. It comes with a

pre-installed

utility ROM capsule

with CP/M-80™ and a pre- installed

BASIC ROM capsule. Additional ROM capsules containing Portable

WordStar™,

Portable Calc, and Portable Scheduler’” are also

included. Instructions on how to print data from each of these soft-

ware applications can be found in their accompanying documenta-

tion. Check the index under printing for the appropriate pages.

P-80 and WordStar

To print the desired results from some of these programs such as

WordStar, some modifications may be necessary. For example, the

P-80 stops printing when no paper is in contact with the paper-out

sensor (a reed switch located on the paper guide).

The paper-out sensor keeps the printer from printing after the paper

has run out, but it also keeps you from printing page numbers near the

bottom of the page. To compensate for this, you can either change the

page length

footing margin, place your page numbers near the top

of the page, or omit the page numbers. All of these can be done by

using dot commands in WordStar. See Chapter

in your Geneva

Portable WordStar Reference Manual.
