|
|
.Sh SYNOPSIS
|
|
.Cd "vp0 at uba0 csr 0177510 vector vpintr vpintr"
|
|
.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
NOTE: This driver has not been ported from
|
|
.Bx 4.4
|
|
yet.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The Versatec printer/plotter is normally used with the
|
|
line printer system.
|
|
This description is designed for those who wish to drive the Versatec directly.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To use the Versatec yourself, you must realize that you cannot open the
|
|
device,
|
|
.Pa /dev/vp0
|
|
if there is a daemon active.
|
|
You can see if there is a daemon active by doing a
|
|
.Xr lpq 1 ,
|
|
and seeing if there are any files being sent.
|
|
Printing should be turned off using
|
|
.Xr lpc 8 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
To set the Versatec into plot mode you should include
|
|
.Aq Pa sys/vcmd.h
|
|
and use the
|
|
.Xr ioctl 2
|
|
call
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
ioctl(fileno(vp), VSETSTATE, plotmd);
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
where
|
|
.Em plotmd
|
|
is defined to be
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
int plotmd[] = { VPLOT, 0, 0 };
|
|
.Ed
|
|
.Pp
|
|
and
|
|
.Em vp
|
|
is the result of a call to
|
|
.Xr fopen 3
|
|
on stdio.
|
|
When you finish using the Versatec in plot mode you should eject paper
|
|
by sending it a
|
|
.Tn EOT
|
|
after putting it back into print mode, i.e. by
|
|
.Bd -literal -offset indent
|
|
int prtmd[] = { VPRINT, 0, 0 };
|
|
\&...
|
|
fflush(vp);
|
|
ioctl(fileno(vp), VSETSTATE, prtmd);
|
|
write(fileno(vp), "\e04", 1);

.Sh HISTORY
|
|
A
|
|
.Nm
|
|
driver appeared in
|
|
.At v7 .
|
|
.Sh BUGS
|
|
The configuration part of the driver assumes that the device is set up to
|
|
vector print mode through 0174 and plot mode through 0200.
|
|
As the configuration program can't be sure
|
|
which vector interrupted at boot time,
|
|
we specify that it has two interrupt vectors,
|
|
and if an interrupt comes through 0200 it is reset to 0174.
|
|
This is safe for devices with one or two vectors at these two addresses.
|
|
Other configurations with 2 vectors may require changes in the driver.
