Centronics Microface for Timex 2048 and ZX Spectrum

Centronics Microface is a universal interface for CENTRONICS-standard printers, designed for the following microcomputers:

• TIMEX 2048
• ZX SPECTRUM 48K

The pass-through MIKROFACE interface, together with its software—which is supplied on cassette tape or floppy disk—is a very inexpensive and effective device that allows the computers listed above to work with printers such as:

• SEIKOSHA SP 1200 A
• SEIKOSHA SP 1000 A
• CENTRONICS GLP II

After installing the interface and loading the software, you can:

• Write any text on the printer.
• Print program listings.
• Set the printout width.
• Send control characters directly to the printer.
• Copy all or part of the screen to the printer at a 1:1 or 2:1 scale.

In addition, thanks to its pass-through design, MICROFACE lets you use a printer when an AC/IC DOS 5¼-inch disk drive or a TIMEX FDD 3/3000 3-inch disk drive is connected to the microcomputer.

Once loaded, the MICROFACE operating software is placed before the "PROG" program area and remains resident in memory until you execute the "NEW" command or switch off the computer.

In summary: if, dear reader, you own the device and a printer mentioned above, write to ZX LAND about your experiences. We are all waiting for your comments.

P.S. We have the full instructions and a diskette with the operating program in the editorial office (at Py-zy's place). If anyone needs them, LitSteve will give these materials away—free of charge, of course.
