Abstract

The dot matrix printer offers language teachers a means of producing instructional materials in many writing systems that cannot be printed economically in any other manner.  This report, which is based upon my presentation at CALICO '85, outlines the structure of a printer driver program that converts Romanized texts composed with the aid of standard word processing software into codes that enable a dot matrix printer to produce high-quality printouts in various target scripts.
