directory defined in the path name within your ASSIGN.SYS
file should contain all screen, meta, and printer fonts
as well as all device drivers (eg SLM804.SYS).

| *** Atari SLM804 Printer Caveats *** |
|______________________________________|
(1) If an SLM804 Laser Printer is connected to the ST Hard
Disk (DMA bus) port, then the printer must be powered-
on in order for floppy or hard disk operations to
occur.
(2) For the best print results on an SLM804 Laser Printer,
set up the application software to maintain a minimum
half-inch left and right page margin.
