.TP Printer.sys
.DES A device driver for code page switching on printers
Your computer has hardware code page switching as well as software
code page switching for printers. If you are a U.S. user, the code
page has already been prepared by AT&T.
However, if you want to use your AT&T computer with printers that
support code page switching from the parallel port, this is possible
only with specific printers. Use LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3 ports, (PRN is
a substitute for LPT1).
Install your printer.sys driver in the CONFIG.SYS file:
Device=[d:][path]PRINTER.SYS LPT#[:]=(type[,[hwcp][,n]])
OR
Device=[d:][path]PRINTER.SYS LPT#[:]=(type[,[hwcp1,hwcp2,...)][,n]])
.PG
[d:] specifies the disk drive on which the driver is found.
[path] specifies the directory where the driver is located.
LPT# specifies the printer device, which can be entered up to three
times for printers LPT1, LPT2, and LPT3. PRN is a substitute
for LPT1.
(type) specifies one of the following type printers: a Proprinter II
4201 equivalent, or a Quietwriter III 5202 equivalent.
[hwcp] specifies the code page supported directly by the hardware.
The possible [hwcp] values are 437 (U.S.), 850 (Multilingual),
860 (Portugal), 863 (French-Canadian), and 865 (Norway).
.PG
(n) specifies the number of additional code pages that can be supported.
This value refers to an allowable range of additional code pages
between 0 and 12.
EXAMPLE:
If you want to specify that code page switching support for the PRN:
device displaying in Enhanced Graphics with the 437 code page built
in, enter the following:
Device = PRINTER.SYS PRN:=(4201,437,1)LPT2=(5202,437,0)
