# ASCII Photobooth printer configuration
# Sourced by txt2printr.sh and photobooth.py.

# Is the printer loaded with A4 paper for a landscape printout? (true/false)
# Needle/dot-matrix printers have no hardware page-rotation command: the
# print head only scans across a fixed carriage width while the paper feeds
# in one fixed direction, so there is no way to make the physical page
# itself "landscape". Instead, when this is true:
#  - txt2printr.sh rotates the ascii art 90 degrees in software before
#    sending it to the printer (turn the printed page 90 degrees to read it)
#  - photobooth.py sizes its live-preview viewfinder to an A4-landscape
#    character grid instead of just following the terminal size, so what you
#    see in the preview matches the shape of what gets printed
PRINTER_A4=false

# Your printer's real per-page capacity in the normal (portrait, unrotated)
# orientation, used to size the A4 viewfinder above and to know when a print
# job already fills the page (see txt2printr.sh). Paper geometry and stated
# pitch don't reliably predict this - measure it directly with pagetest.sh:
#   ./pagetest.sh && PRINTER_A4=false ./txt2printr.sh pagetest.txt
# then read off the last line number on page 1 (-> PRINTER_MAX_LINES) and
# how many characters of the 64-wide test lines actually printed before
# being cut off (-> PRINTER_MAX_COLS).
PRINTER_MAX_LINES=64
PRINTER_MAX_COLS=54
