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)
Each of lines 1 to 4 should contain a valid 1- to 9-character escape sequence
for your printer. 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
sequences you need, and remember to use the correct lines above for whatever
sequences you enter. 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 ^P, 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:
@ .
