9.5.2 Printing Direction (LEFTRITE)<br />
Weather FAX as well as most other facsimile prints from left to right,<br />
but occasionally you may find a station that is reversed. If you come<br />
across such a transmission , you may simply issue the command LEFTRITE<br />
OFF to correct this. The <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> will respond with:<br />
LEftrite now OFF<br />
9.5.3 Inverting Black and White (FAXNEG)<br />
You may occasionally come across a station that appears to be<br />
inverted; that is printing black where you expect white, and leaving<br />
white where you expect black. In this case you may issue the command<br />
FAXNEG ON. The <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> will respond with:<br />
FAXNeg now ON<br />
What was before printing black will now be white, and vice versa.<br />
9.5.4 Printing Density (GRAPHICS)<br />
How the graphics will look on your printer depends on the setting of<br />
the GRAPHICS command. There are 7 graphics commands providing<br />
horizontal dot densities from 480 dots to 1,920 dots horizontally<br />
across a page. The default setting is 960 which Epson compatible<br />
graphics printers can reproduce. See the GRAPHICS command description<br />
in the Command Summary for a complete description of this command.<br />
9.6 Printing Other Services<br />
Most of the weather services in the US use a facsimile scan speed of<br />
2-lines per Second, which corresponds to an FSPEED of 2 (Default).<br />
Facsimile photographs often use 1-line per Second, which is an FSPEED<br />
of 1. Some foreign services use speeds of 4-lines per Second, which<br />
is an FSPEED of 4. Speeds of 1.5 and 3-lines per Second are also<br />
supported. See the command summary in for more information on FSPEED.<br />
When different horizontal scan speeds are used, the number of lines<br />
per vertical inch can also vary. If nothing is done to change the<br />
number of lines printed by the printer, the pictures may appear<br />
squashed or elongated. The ASPECT command resolves this by allowing<br />
from one to six lines to be printed out for every six lines received.<br />
The default setting is ASPECT 2 which means that 2 out of 6, or 1 out<br />
of every 3 horizontal lines is printed. This is the most common<br />
setting you will use for WEFAX, but other services may require using<br />
other values to print pictures without aspect ratio distortions.<br />
9.7 Transmitting FAX<br />
The <strong>PK</strong>-<strong>232</strong> does support FAX transmission, but attempting to do this<br />
without a Timewave HF Wefax or n AEA's PC-PAKRATT II WITH FAX program<br />
is difficult. We recommend you consider this program if FAX<br />
transmission is desired.<br />
