Using the HIRES Screen Dump Program
Should I Study This Chapter?
Epson dealers can supply a machine language “screen dump” diskette for
Apple users with 48K disk systems. It permits creation of exotic HI-RES
graphics on the Apple screen, then dumping them, dot for dot to the MX-70
printer.
Since the MX-70 graphics are related to the Apple (as the MX-80 graphics
replicate the TRS-80’s), this particular software is of interest only to Apple
users. Knowing this crazy field however, some ingenious software writer work-
ing in his garage will probably come up with a partial HIRES program for use
with our popular computers.
Meanwhile, if you are using your MX-70 with another brand of computer, you
can just as well ignore this chapter. Go in peace, and enjoy your printer.

Apple Dump
The “screen dump” diskette comes with a DOS 3.3 operating system, so it
works fine on a one drive system.
