PAR_PULSE
Syntax |
PAR_PULSE x |
Location |
ST/QL, SMSQ/E for the Atari |
Some accelerator boards enhance the speed of the Atari ST and TT computers so much that the parallel printer port may be affected. This can be fixed by using PAR_PULSE to increase the rate of the strobe pulse. This problem tends to be required if you have a printer which has heavy drive requirements (notably a CANON) or if you use a long printer cable.
Example
PAR_PULSE 80
NOTE
On SMSQ/E running on non-Atari’s, this command has no effect.
