Re: Infoprint 40, twinax to TCP/IP, shrinks font - solution

[Buck <kc2hiz@xxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks Pat,
Your working InfoPrint 40 looked like mine.  I ended up creating a WSCST
for this printer and setting the CPICOR values as follows:

 :CPICOR
   CPI=10
   ASCIIFNT=  204
   FNTWTH=   108
   FNTATR=    1
   DATA =''X.
 :CPICOR
   CPI=12
   ASCIIFNT=  223
   FNTWTH=   96
   FNTATR=    1
   DATA =''X.
 :CPICOR
   CPI=15
   ASCIIFNT=  281
   FNTWTH=   72
   FNTATR=    1
   DATA =''X.
