317.0. "Neo to LCP01??" by RDGENG::KEANE () Mon Nov 28 1988 17:20

    Hello,
    
    	We have got an old LCP01 colour scanning inkjet printer in our
    office. Its been broken for a long time. The other day a FS guy
    actually came and mended it!! He said its got to be used or the
    ink will gunge up, and it wont work again.
    	SO!! I really want to help to keep this beast working!!!. Is
    there any way of converting .NEO pictures to output on this printer?,
    I cannot find anyone in our office who really knows how to drive 
    it, or any manuals or info.                                                              
    	I have used the VT_NEO,EXE etc programs, is there one that produces
    an output file suitable for feeding this color (US SPELLING) printer?
    
    Keep the kids happy for Christmas!!

    The LCP01, now known as LCG01, accepts ReGis, GIDIS, NAPLPS, UIS
    and Colour Sixels. Does VTNEO produce colour sixels?

317.2UIS directly on LCG01?MRSVAX::MISKINISTue Nov 29 1988 16:215
    I know you can render UIS files (/DEV=LCG01), but is there an
    easier way?  As far as getting (color) .NEO to UIS or SIXEL files
    that would be GREAT!

    Yes VTneo produces a VT240 color sixel output. Why don't you just
    try. ?
    Good luck, 
317.4Eureka! (well almost)RDGENG::KEANEWed Nov 30 1988 06:4125
    Hi,
    
    I did, I did !!
    
    I actually got an image out of the lcp01, unfortunately it is half
    size. Apparently there is a escape sequence, what I can put in the
    sixel file header, which will double the size, (if only I new what
    it is). any offers??? . Also the color rendering is a bit pukey,
    all the background is matt black. 
    
    Its the first time I have actually seen the LCP01 "burst" ?? into
    life and do its thing. Its quite frightening, with the whirring
    and hissing of the vacuum system, and then the couple of minute
    wait while the drum spins and the carriage scans. 
    Even if the output was crud, the experience was worth while!!                                 
    
    Back to the drawing board.
    
    Cheers

317.5SIXEL file aspect ratio changeMRSVAX::MISKINISWed Nov 30 1988 15:535
    In the first line of the sixel file (edit it), look for the
    escape sequence that ends in lowercase Q (<ESC>somethingq) and
    change the number before the q to 9. 
    
    Let me know... 
317.6will it drive a lj250 as wellBAHTAT::REIDWed Nov 30 1988 15:537
    Can you explain to a thick District Manager (frustrated ex techie)
    just what you did and will it work to a lj250 as well. I 've got
    ST520 & DEGAS ELITE. What else do I need and where can it be obtained.
    I have Uniterm and Kermit set up. NODE::ERIC.
    
    Thanks in advance.

    	Hi Patrick,
    
    	Where can I find the VTNEO.EXE NEO to SIXEL converting file?
    
    	We have LJ250 and LCP's here at DECdirekt and would like to
    	show some good printout as demonstration set.
    	
    	I use a 1040ST with ICTERM and Kermit to connect.
    
    	I got a file called CSIX.EXE to convert IFF and HAM files into
    	Sixel.
    	If any interrest drop me a VAXMAIL please no " ALL IN ONE "
    	and I make it available.
    	It should be in RTOIC::$1$dua7:<hschoening.a1.picture>
    
    	I hope I don't forget to change the protection.
    
    	With binary regards,
    
    		George
