QUill
will
read the current printer driver from the Quill cartridge
in
Microdrlve

what facilities are available on a particular printer and
how they can be used. Quill
will
work with most makes of printer and
you

find details
of how
to
make changes for a particular type of printer
in
the Informalion section, where
the printer driver program
IS
described.
You

change things such as the line spacing and the number of lines
per page of the
