Using Color Graphics Software Packages - Oki OKIMATE 10 Handbook

Color Graphics
The Color Screen Print program available
with your OKIMATE works only with the
Commodore 64 or SX64 model computers and
a compatible graphics software program, like
Doodle, Edumate Light Pen, Koala Pad and
Super Sketch. Other software packages and
programs are being added weekly to the list.
Simply check the box asking to be placed on
our mailing list that appears on your warranty
registration card, and we'll keep you up-to-
date plus you'll receive information on how
to keep your disk library current.
Once you have the right equipment (If you
don't yet, try some color samples on the OKI­
MATE 10 disk), here's how you run OKI­
MATE's Color Screen Print program:
1. Insert the Learn to Print disk in the
disk drive.
2. Type: L O A D " C O L O R " , A
3. Press the RETURN key.
4. When the READY prompt appears,
type: RUN
5. Press the RETURN key.
After about a minute, you'll see the main title
frame. The program will then ask you if you
want instructions. Answer "Y" for "y es" the
first time around. You'll be asked to prepare
the OKIMATE with paper and a black ribbon.
The program will then print an instruction
sheet explaining how to print a picture—it's a
good idea to save this to use as a reference
later.
The Color program is completely self-docu­
menting, so all you have to do is follow the
directions on the screen at each step to
choose the format you're using and the pic­
ture you want to print. The program will even
tell you if OKIMATE isn't ready to print and
will give you a list of things to check.
Once you've made your selections and the
printer is ready— don't forget to insert the
color ribbon—just press the RETURN key and
watch OKIMATE print your picture in full
color. It will take a while because each line
must print three times, but the results should
be worth the wait.
