This file is used to initialize your printer for report generation. Lines
1-6 are the ONLY ones that have any effect:
Ln 1: printer initialization for printing reports in the Hunt mode;
Ln 2: select character set containing IBM graphics characters (if your prin-
ter uses switches to select character sets, you may skip this item);
Ln 3: compressed print; Ln 4: 1/8 inch line spacing;
Ln 5: # of columns your printer can print in compressed mode (132 or 230);
Ln 6: # of lines per per page with 1/8 inch spacing (88 or 68);
Line 1 may contain an escape sequence up to 30 characters long. Lines 2 to 4
may have up to 9 characters each. You need not fill in all the lines, but the
ones you do fill in must follow the above scheme. Each escape sequence must be
in the form of CHARACTERS, not decimal or hex numbers. Consult your printer's
manual for the character sequences you need, and remember to enter the se-
quences on the correct lines above. Lines 5 and 6 consist of mere numbers.
In EDITX, to enter a CONTROL-CHARACTER (such as ESC), you must press ^P
(CTRL-P) just before you type the control character. Example for Epson LX-800:
LINE SEQUENCE IN EDITX, YOU ENTER APPEARS AS
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 ESC @ ^P, then press ESC, then @ @ .
2 ESC t 1 ^P, then press ESC, then t, then 1 t1 .
3 ESC ^O ^P, then press ESC, then ^P, then ^O .
4 ESC 0 ^P, then press ESC, then 0 .
Note that Line 2's graphics sequence will not have the desired effect un-
less your printer's graphic character set is absolutely identical to that of
the IBM PC line of computers.
If you were using an Epson LX-800 printer and standard 8-1/2" x 11" paper,
lines 1 to 6 would appear as:
@ .
