[Ql-Users] Sinclair QL Printer

2011-04-04 Thread Dilwyn Jones
I would like to put together a copy of the manual for the Sinclair QL 
Printer, which I think is a badged Seikosha SP1000A with a QL 
character set ROM, for the replacement manuals section on my website.


I have obtained from somewhere a set of individual PDFs of each page. 
Unfortunately they are scanned as graphics and also protected, so I 
can't even combine them into easier to handle groups of pages.


Anybody out there got a manual for this printer which I could borrow 
to rescan, or even better got an unprotected scan of the pages?

I scanned this manual a few years ago and it was individual images. It 
might be my version that you have.  It is possible to use OCR software 
to convert the images to text and then put that into a word processor 
and produce a final output.  This will take time and may not be exact as 
the manual.


Using ImageMagick (open source), it is possible to take a number of JPEG 
images and convert them into a PDF file.  The PDF file will be the same 
size as the JPEG images combined.  Meaning, if you have 10 1 MEG JPEG 
images, the PDF will be 10 megs.
