JETCOL prints two columns, each up to 90 or more characters wide, on a standard sheet of paper in portrait or 132 characters wide in landscape. Most lasers and many DeskJet (2COL supports all Deskjets) printers are supported. By suppressing unnecessary blank lines and ignoring page breaks, JETCOL (while averaging approximately 4 pages on one side of a sheet) is able to use a larger font than other compressed print programs. JETCOL will optionally print an exact number of pages/column retaining original formatting. Professional and Windows versions are available.
JETCOL is ideal for printing reference material (such as shareware manuals)and word processing drafts. It saves paper and storage space. By putting more information on less paper, JETCOL saves you money when faxing or mailing.
JETCOL includes 10 specially designed soft fonts in graduated sizes which are automatically selected according to the amount of compression desired. This permits up to ten pages on one side of a sheet. Approximately 20 pages can be put on a single sheet when using two sided printing.
The font pitch is automatically adjusted for maximum readability according to the column width chosen. The variable font pitch always allows you to create a margin for hole punching regardless of document width.
The program has been designed to be easy to use, even for the novice. It comes with a demo/tutorial which demonstrates most of the printing options and shows how to use them.
NEW FEATURES:
Print with TrueType fonts using the Windows interface.
Print Booklets/Pamphlets
Footers
