# 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
# The Epson DFX-5000+ is a wide-carriage tractor-feed printer that only
# takes continuous (fanfold) paper 4-16 in (101-406.4mm) wide - it has no
# A4 sheet path, so this stays false.
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).
#
# Set PRINTER_MAX_LINES=0 for a roll/continuous-feed printer that has no
# fixed page length. In that mode photobooth.py sizes captures to fill
# PRINTER_MAX_COLS width and lets height follow the image's own aspect
# ratio instead of cropping to a row count, and txt2printr.sh always feeds
# the paper out at the end of a print instead of skipping the feed when a
# page is already full (there's no page to fill).
#
# The DFX-5000+ is fed from continuous fanfold stock rather than cut
# sheets, so it's treated the same as a roll printer here (0). Its DIP
# switches 3-1/3-2 do let it track a fixed page length (11in, 12in, 8.5in,
# or 70/6in) with perforation-skip (switch 3-3), but that's a page-break
# convenience on the paper feed, not a limit on total printable length -
# re-measure with pagetest.sh if you rely on perforation-skip and want
# output to stop short of the next perforation instead of running past it.
# See epson5kp-dipsettings.md for the recommended DIP positions.
#
# PRINTER_MAX_COLS below is the datasheet's rated printable-column count
# at the printer's default pitch (10 cpi) on its widest supported stock
# (16 in fanfold): 136 columns. That's the printer's own printable-area
# limit (0.51-1.22 in left margin, 0.51 in right margin), not a
# measurement against this install's actual loaded paper width -
# re-measure with pagetest.sh if narrower stock is loaded.
