From b76c70b397328a13c06dac3fef9aefdcd940a78d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Solomon Peachy Date: Wed, 19 Oct 2016 00:48:01 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Doc updates on the mitsu 98xx family. In short, it's going to need an image processing library of sorts, and data tables directly extracted from the windows or mac drivers. --- README | 24 ++++++++++++++++++------ 1 file changed, 18 insertions(+), 6 deletions(-) diff --git a/README b/README index c6fadde..34f0867 100644 --- a/README +++ b/README @@ -39,7 +39,6 @@ DNP DS620 Citizen CW-01 Mitsubishi CP-9550D/DW/DW-S/DZ/DZ-S - Mitsubishi CP-9800DW-S/DZ/DZ-S Mitsubishi CP-3800DW Shinko CHC-S6145 (aka Sinfonia CS2) Ciaat Brava 21 @@ -49,7 +48,7 @@ DNP DS80DX Mitsubishi CP-D70DW, CP-D707DW, CP-K60DW-S, and CP-D80DW Mitsubishi CP-9000DW, CP-9500DW, and CP-9600DW/DW-S - Mitsubishi CP-9800DW, CP-9810DW, and CP-9820DW-S + Mitsubishi CP-9800DW, CP-9800DW-S, CP-9810DW, and CP-9820DW-S Fujifilm ASK-300 Citizen CW-02 and CX2 Olmec OP900 and OP900II @@ -588,7 +587,7 @@ Supported and tested printers: Mitsubishi CP-9550D/DW and CP-9550DZ/DZS/DW-S - Mitsubishi CP-9800DZ/DZS/DW-S + Mitsubishi CP-9800DZ/DZS/DW-S [1] Work-in-progress printers: @@ -599,15 +598,28 @@ Unsupported (unknown VID/PID): Mitsubishi CP-9600DW-S/DZ/DZ-S - Mitsubishi CP-9800D/DW - Mitsubishi CP-9810D/DW - Mitsubishi CP-9820DW-S + Mitsubishi CP-9800D/DW [1] + Mitsubishi CP-9810D/DW [1] + Mitsubishi CP-9820DW-S [1] Valid commands: -s Query printer status -m Query printer media + Notes: + + **** VERY IMPORTANT **** + + The CP-98xx family is similar to the CP-D70 family in that it requires + the input data to be gamma corrected (and likely transformed in other + ways) before it is sent to the printer.
