LOCATING THE PRINTER

Before you start unpacking and setting up your printer, make sure that you
have a suitable place on which to locate it. By “a suitable place”, we mean:

l A firm, level surface which is fairly vibration-free
l Away from excessive heat (such as direct sunlight, heaters, etc)
l Away from excessive humidity
l Away from excessive dust
l Supply it “clean” electricity. Don’t connect it to the same circuit as alarge,

noise-producing appliance such as a refrigerator.

l Make sure the line voltage is within 10% of the voltage specified on the

identification plate.

l A location with sufficient space to locate the printer and any paper to be

fed into it, as well as the printed paper coming out.

l If you are using a parallel connection to your computer, make sure that it

is within 2m (6ft) of the printer (an RS-232 connection using the optional
RS-232 interface can be made over longer distances).

After loading fanfold paper with the internal tractor unit, you do not have to
unload it when you want to print on a single sheet. The printer will “park”
it for you if you follow the procedure below.

Paper parking starts with power ON, fanfold paper loaded in printing

line (ON LINE indicator off).
Tear off the printed form at the last perforation, leaving not more than

3.

about half a page showing above the top cover. If necessary, press the

(PAPER FEED) button to feed paper forward until a perforation is located

just above the top cover, and tear there.

Press the ( s%&cT ) button on the control panel.

4.

The printer will automatically feed the fanfold form backward until the

paper is completely free of the platen.
Move the release lever to the down position.

5.

Mount the paper guide in the upright position.

6.

Now you can load single sheets either automatically or manually, as ex­plained previously. The fanfold paper remains parked at the back of the
printer.

Paper unparking

When you want to resume using fanfold paper, the procedure is as follows.

1. , Remove all single sheets from the printer.

2. Mount the paper guide in the horizontal position.

3. Move the release lever to the up position.

4. Press the ( sE~‘~~CT ) button. The printer will automatically feed the
parked fanfold paper into position for printing.

ADJUSTING THE PRINTING GAP

The distance between the print head and the platen can be adjusted to

accommodate different paper thicknesses. To make this adjustment, remove
the top cover. The adjustment lever is located near the right end of the paper

bail. Pulling the adjustment lever upwards narrows the gap; pushing it

downwards widens the gap.

There are five positions; you can feel the lever clicking into each position.
The second position from the top is the one most commonly used for single

sheets of paper. Try different positions until you get the best printing results.

CONTROL PANEL OPERATIONS

The control panel buttons can be pressed singly to perform the operations

indicated by their names. Other functions can be obtained by holding these
buttons down when you turn the printer’s power on. Still further functions
can be executed by pressing the control panel buttons in combination.

This chapter explains all the button and indicator functions.

l Pause printing
l Feed paper (fast and slow, forward and reverse)
l Park fanfold forms
l Set the top-of-form position

. Select the print pitch

l Select a font style
l Print test patterns
l Prevent software from changing the panel pitch and font selections

l Print a hexadecimal dump
l Clear the printer’s buffer

BUTTONS AND INDICATORS

The printer is equipped with five buttons on the control panel: from right to
lefttheyare,( ON LINE X( PAPER FEED> and( sE&‘~~CT )(largerbuttons),

and (PITCH) and (STYLE) (smaller buttons).

The following is a brief guide to the buttons and indicators on the control
panel.

Figure 2-T. Control panel

19

ON LINE button

The ( ON LINE ) button sets the printer on-line and off-line. The state
changes each time you press the button.

In the on-line state the printer receives data from the computer and prints the
data. In the off-line state the printer stops printing and sends the computer
a signal indicating that it cannot accept data.

The printer powers up in the on-line state if paper is present. If paper is not
present, the printer powers up off-line with the POWER indicator flashing.
When you load paper the POWER indicator stops flashing, but the printer
remains off-line. To start printing you must press the ( ON LINE
go on-line.

) button during printing, the printer stops
printing and goes off-line, allowing you to check the printout or change a
control panel setting. Printing resumes when you press the ( ON LINE )
button again to go back on-line.

l To cut fanfold forms at the end of printing

When using fanfold forms, if you hold the ( ON LINE )button down for
one second, in addition to go off-line the printer feeds the paper about two
inches forward, allowing you to cut it off just below the last line printed.
When you press the C

‘ON LINE )button again to go back on-line, the paper

feeds backward about one inch, stopping in the right place to resume
printing.

20

PAPER FEED button

If you press this button in off-line, the paper feeds forward. If you hold this
button down, the printer performs consecutive line feeds.

While you are feeding lines, if you also press the ( ON LINE > button, the
paper will feed to the top of the next page. This is explained later.

If you press this button in on-line, this will alternately illuminate and
extinguish the QUIET indicator. When in Quiet mode with the QUIET
indicator illuminating, the printer will print slightly slower, but at a reduced

noise level.

SET/EJECT PARK button

Pressing this button causes the printer to execute paper loading if the paper
has not loaded while in the off-line state.

If the paper has been loaded, this button causes the printer in different
functions depending on the release lever position.

If the release lever is set to the upward position for the fanfold forms, this
button operates to park the fanfold forms to the backward position.

If the release lever is set to the downward position for the single sheets,
pressing this button ejects the paper.

This button has no effect if the optional pull tractor unit is mounted.

PITCH button

This button selects the print pitch that will be printed. Remember that the
printer must be off-line for you to do this. Successive presses of this button
will illuminate (and select) the following options in this order:

Pitch

Pica
Elite
Semi-condensed
Condensed pica
Condensed elite
Proportional
Condensed proportional

Holding down this button will cycle continuously between these options.

STYLE button

This button selects the font style to be printed. Courier style is always
selected at power-up. To change to one of the other styles, set the printer off­line, then press the (~3) button repeatedly until the indicators beside the
desired selection illuminate. The selections cycle in the following order:

POWER-UP FUNCTIONS

In addition to their normal functions, all the control panel buttons have
special functions that operate if you hold them down while switching power
on.

number of the printer’s ROM, followed by six lines of the character set.
Each line will be offset by one character from the one before it. The final

result will be something like the following.

Figure 2-3. Short self-test

Since the test print occupies the whole width of the carriage, it is recom­mended that the printer is loaded with continuous stationery to avoid
possible damage to the print head and/or platen.

23

Long test mode

If the printer is turned on while the (PAPER FEED] button is pressed, the
printer will enter the long self-test mode. The printer will start printing as
soon as the (PAPER FEED) button is released, and will print the version
number of the printer’s ROM, followed by the whole character set printed

in each font styles and pitch available.
The test cycles endlessly. To stop the test you must switch power off.
Since the test print occupies the whole width of the carriage, it is recom-

mended that the printer is loaded with continuous stationery to avoid
possible damage to the print head and/orplaten. In addition, the total number
of lines printed is considerable, more than can be accomodated on a single
sheet, so fanfold paper is certainly suggested for this test.

Print area test mode

If you want to know how many lines on your paper can be printed, try to run
this print area test. By holding the C
up, the printer will enter the print area test mode. The printer will print the
first line message, then prints the last line message on your single sheet after
feeding the paper to the bottom of the paper.

If you have loaded the fanfold paper, the printer shows only the first line.

Stay in panel pitch

By holding the (PITCH) button down during power-up, you can prevent
software Interference with the print pitch selected from the control panel.
You will hear an acknowledging beep as power comes on.

After the beep tone, you can set the printer off-line, select a print pitch, then
return to on-line and start printing. The pitch you selected will not be reset
or otherwise changed by any commands your software may issue.

24

-

Stay in panel style

If held down during power-up, the (STYLE) button prevents software inter­ference with the font style selected from the control panel. There will be an
acknowledging beep, after which you can set the printer off-line, select a
font style, then return to the on-line state and start printing. The selected font
style will not be changed by any commands sent by software.

Stay in panel pitch and style

If you want to protect both the pitch and font style settings from software
changes, press the (PITcHJand (S31 buttons during power-up. There will
be a little long acknowledging beep.

Pressing these buttons during power-up does not prevent you from making
any number of changes later from the control panel.

Hexadecimal dump

This feature is useful for programmers who are debugging printing pro-

grams and want to see the actual codes the printer is receiving. (Some
computers change the codes the programmer intended.)

In this mode, all received data will bc printed in a hexadecimal dump format,
rather than the control codes being acted on as command codes.

This mode is accessed with the following procedure:

1. Holding both the (PAPER FEED) and ( sE;5!~CT ) buttons down, turn
,power ON. A beep tone will be heard.

2. Start printing. In place of the usual printout you will get a formatted
dump showing exactly what data the printer receives. Each line presents
sixteen characters, their hexadecimal codes to the left and printable
characters printed on the right.

3. At the end of the hexadecimal dump, set the printer off-line with the
( ON LINE Ibutton. This is necessary to print the last line.

25

The following BASIC program is a simple test you can run in hexadecimal
mode:

10 FOR I=0 TO 255
20 LPRINT CHR$(I);
30 NEXT I

40 LPRINT

50 END

If your system passes the codes directly to the printer without changing
them, you will get a printout like Figure 2-4.

Figun,2-5. Sample hexadecimal dump with IBM-PC

When the IBM-PC BASIC interpreter sends hex code OD (carriage return)
it adds an extra hex OA (line feed). Hex code 1A (end-of-file) also gets

special treatment: the interpreter does not send it at all. This can cause

problems that generate graphics or download character data, but there is a

solution. Try changing line 20 in the preceding program and adding the

coding shown below.

27

SWITCH COMBINATION FUNCTIONS

Several additional functions can be obtained by pressing the control panel
buttons in combinations,

Top of form

Clearing the buffer

If you are using single sheets, this operation ejects the current page. If you
are using fanfold forms, it feeds to the top of the next page.

1. PreSS the ( ON LINE ] button to set the printer off-line.

2. Pressthe (PAPER FEED) button and hold it down. The printer will start
performing successive line feeds.

3. Still holding the (PAPER FEED) button down, press the ( ON LINE )
button, then release both buttons. The printer will smoothly eject the
current page.

Top of form

When you turn on printer power, the top-of-form position is automatically
set to the current position. If this is not where you want the top of the page
to be, you can change the top-of-form position as follows.

1. Press the( ON LINE )button to set the printer off-line.

2. Move the paper to the desired top-of-form position by pressing the

(PAPER FEED) button, orby performing a forward or reverse micro-feed.

3. Press and hold the ( ON LINE 1 button.

4. Press and hold the (PITCH) button.

5. Release both buttons at the same time. The printer will beep to indicate
that the top-of-form position has been set.

Forward micro-feed

For fine alignment, you can feed the paper forward in very small increments
as follows:

1. Press the ( ON LINE 1 button Lo set the printer off-line.

2. Press the ( ON LINE ) button again and hold it down.

3. Press the (PAPER FEED) button. The paper will start advancing in a series

of small steps. When you want to stop, release both buttons.

Reverse micro-feed

You can also feed the paper in small increments in reverse, to return to a
higher position on the same page.

Not’e:With fanfold forms, do not try to return to a previous page. The per-

foration may catch inside the printer.

1. Press the C ON LINE 1 button lo set the printer off-line.

2. Press the ( ON LINE > button again and hold it down.

3. Press the ( SF&E&CT ) button. The paper will start moving backwards
in a series of small steps. When you want to stop, release both buttons.

Clearing the buffer

When DIP switch 2-l is ON, the printer stores received data in a large

memory buffer. This creates a problem when you want to abandon a printing

job and restart: the printer may be holding much more data in its buffer than

it has actually printed, and this unprinted data must be cleared out before
restarting. Turning power off is one way to clear the buffer, but there is
another way:

1. Halt the printing program on the computer. If printing stops immedi­ately, the buffer is clear and the rest of this procedure is unnecessary. If
printing does not stop, continue as follows:

2. Press the ( ON LINE ) button to set the printer off-line. Printing will
now stop, but there may be data remaining in the buffer.

3. Press and hold the ( ON LINE ) button.

4. Press and hold the (SZKiZ) button. Continue holding these two buttons
down. In about three seconds you will hear a beep tone signaling that the
buffer has been cleared.

5. Release these buttons, make any necessary control panel settings, then
set the printer back on-line.

It is essential to halt the printing program on the computer before you go off­line. Otherwise, when you go back on-lint the computer will start sending
data again and the printer will continue printing, with missing data where the
buffer was cleared.

30

Chapter 3

D/P SWITCH SETTINGS

The bank of DIP (Dual In-line Package) switches inside the printer is used
for various functions.

This chapter explains where the DIP switches are located, and how to use
them.

LOCATION OF THE DIP SWITCHES

When you remove the printer’s cover and look inside, you will see on the
green board at the bottom of the printer two groups of small white switches

marked DSWl and DSW2. These arc the printer’s DIP switches. DSWl has

eight switches, named 1-l to l-8 from Icft to right. DSW2 has eight switches
named 2-l to 2-8.

I

Figure 3-1. DIP swtches

For all switches, the ON position is towards the back of the printer and the
OFF position is towards the front. To set a DIP switch, use a ballpoint pen
or other small implement to move the switch to the ON or OFF position.

The printer’s power should be off when you set the DIP switches. Settings

made while power is on do not take effect until power is switched off, then
on again, because the printer reads the DIP switches only at power-up.

31

FUNCTIONS OF THE DIP SWITCHES

The printer is delivered with all DIP switch set to the ON position. These are
the standard settings. By changing the settings, you can alter various printer
functions to match your requirements. The following questions will help
you make the right settings.

International character set

Font style and pitch selection

Switch l-l: Is the page length of your paper 11 inches or 12 inches?

Leave this switch ON if you will be using 11 -inch forms. Move it to the OFF
position if you will be using 12-inch forms.

Switch 1-2:

Do you want an automatic carriage return?

Leave this switch ON. The printer will automatically perform a carriage
return by moving to the left margin at each line feed. Even if your software
sends a separate carriage-return code, an extra carriage return does no harm
because two consecutive carriage returns are the same as one. Very few pro­grams require this switch to be OFF.

32

Switch l-3: Do you want a bottom margin?
Leave this switch ON if you do not want to set the bottom margin. Move it

to the OFF position if you want to set the bottom margin to the l-inch.
Switch 1-4: Are you going to use the automatic sheet feeder (ASF)?

To use the automatic sheet feeder, move this switch to the OFF position.

Otherwise leave it ON.
Switch 1-5: Do you want the printer to stop printing at the end of the paper,

or to keep printing?

Leave this switch ON except when you need to print very close to the end
of the paper. When this switch is OFF the printer ignores the paper-out
detector and prints down to (and beyond) the bottom edge.

Switch 1-6: Do you want to use the printer in standard mode or IBMmode?
Select the mode compatible with your computer and software. In standard

mode the printer operates like the Epson LQ-1050. In IBM mode it operates
like the IBM Proprinter XL24. The ON position selects standard mode. The
OFF position selects IBM mode.

Switch 1-7: The action of this switch depends on the mode chosen with

switch l-6.

If you selected standard mode, do you want italics or graphic char­actes?

Leave this switch ON to print italics in the standard character set. If you set
this switch to the OFF position, in place of italics you will get the graphic
characters, international characters, and mathematical symbols of IBM
character set #2. See Chapter 9, character codes 128 to 254.

If you selected IBM mode, do you want IBM character set #l or #2?

ON selects character set #2, which is for computers with an 8-bit interface
(the most common kind). OFF selects character set #l, for computers with
a 7-bit interface.

33

Switch 1-8: Do you want an automatic line feed?

If you leave this switch at the ON position, a separate line-feed code is
required to obtain a line feed.

If you move this switch to the OFF position, the printer performs both a
carriage return and line feed each time it receives a carriage-return code.

Most computer systems send a line feed code, or both a carriage return and

line feed, at the end of each line, so this switch should be left ON.
If you get double line spacing when you expect single spacing, or if lines

overprint each other, try changing the setting of this switch.
Switch 2-1: Does your software download new characters to the printer?
To download characters this switch must be OFF. The printer then uses its

RAM memory for storing character patterns and provides only a one-line
print buffer. If you leave this switch ON the printer uses its RAM memory
as an input buffer, allowing the computer to send data faster than the printer
prints.

Switches 2-2 to 2-4: Do you want an international character set?
International character sets differ in their assignment of 14 character codes.

See the character tables at the back of this manual. With the DIP switches
you can select one of eight character sets as follows:

* Denmark/Norway when switch l-6 .is OFF and switch l-7 is ON.

Switches 2-5 to 2-7: What font style and print pitch do you want?
You can select the default font style and print pitch by setting these switches

as shown next.

34

Switch 2-8: Which type of printing area format do you want to use for single

sheets?

This printer can use two types of printing area format for single sheets. By
putting the switch ON (“A type”), the top of the first line of printing will start
to one inch from the top of the paper, and the printed area will end to print

6 mm from the bottom of the paper.

By putting the swich OFF (“B type”), the top of the first line of printing will
start l/6 inch from the top of the paper, and the printed area will end l/3 inch
from the bottom of the paper.

chapter 4

PRINTER CONTROL COMMANDS

The printer has two emulation modes: Standard mode and IBM mode.
In standard mode, the printer emulates the functions of the Epson LQ-1050.
In IBM mode, the printer emulates the IBM Proprinter XL24. Additional
command codes are included as a superset of these emulations.

The emulation is changed by means of DIP switch l-6. When ON, the printer
will be in standard mode, and when OFF, the printer will be in IBM
emulation mode (see Chapter 3). It is not possible to change the emulation
mode by means of software control or the front control panel.

This chapter describes the printer’s control commands. Some commands are

common to both the standard and IBM modes. In the descriptions of the com­mands, all commands will be given by function. The name of each command
is followed by a table like the one below:

Defines one or more new characters and stores them in RAM for
later use. DIP switch 2-l must be OFF; otherwise RAM is used as
an input buffer, not for downloading characters, and this command
is ignored.

nl is the character code of the first character defined and n2 is the

between 33 and 254. nl must be equal to or less than n2. Use of
character codes 32 (space) and 127 (delete code) should be avoided

if possible. The data for each character start with three bytes

specifying propottional spacing attributes: the first byte, mO, speci-

fies the left of the character; the second byte, ml, specifies the

character width; the third byte, m2, specifies the right of the

character. These values must not exceed the following maximum

limits:

DOWNLOAD CHARACTERS

With this printer you can create new characters and symbols, download their

dot data, and have them printed in place of selected characters in the regular

character set. Characters that can be generated in this way range from simple
but useful symbols like the check mark through complex Chinese or
Japanese characters.

Regular characters are permanently stored in the printer’s ROM, but char-

acters you design are downloaded and stored in RAM for use.

DEFINING YOUR OWN CHARACTERS

Designing and printing your own characters has two requirements: firstly,
designing the shape of the character, calculating the data necessary to make
the shape, and sending that data to the printer, and secondly, sending the
command to print the downloaded characters instead of the regular charac­ters. There are a number of design constraints for download characters:

l The matrix or grid on which you design the characters is depending on the

print mode as shown below:

Character mode Horizontal

Draft characters
LQ pica characters
LQ elite characters
LQ semi-condensed
LQ proportional

Draft super/subscript
LQ super/subscript
LQ prop. super/subscript

l The minimum width of a character is five dots.
l Dots cannot overlap.
l You may define any position in the ASCII table, except the block graphics

We will use a tiny representation of a telephone symbol for our example.

F/gun, 5-7. Telephone symbol, Normal LO pica

ASCII Code: 60

Left space: 4
Character width:
Right space: 3

29

Assignjng the character data

Now, we calculate the vertical numerical values of the columns of dots, and
enter them underneath the grid. Each vertical column (which has a maxi­mum of 24 dots) is first divided into three groups (or two groups for super/
subscripts) of eight dots. Each group of eight dots is represented by one byte,
which consists of eight bits.

-

That’s where the numbers down the left side of the grid come in. Notice that
there is a number for each row of dots and that each number is twice the
number below it. By making these numbers of two we can take any
combination of dots in a vertical column and assign them a unique value.

-

Assigning a value of character space

Besides being able to specify the actual width of the character, this printer
allows you to specify the position in the standard grid where the character
will print. You must specify the dot column in which the printed character
starts and the dot column in which the character ends. Why, you may ask,
would you want to define a character this way instead of merely defining the
overall width of the character? Because this printer’s proportional character
definitions can also be used to print normal width characters. And by
centering even the narrow characters in the complete grid they will look
good even you aren’t printing them proportionally.

The three bytes are used to specify the width of the character and the space
to be allowed on either side of it. The left space (in dot columns) is specified
by m0 and the right space is specified by m2. The second byte (ml) specifies
the number of columns of dots that will be printed by the character. By
varying the width of the character itself and the spaces around it, you can

actually create proportional width characters.

When defining characters, the number of printed columns (ml), and the sum
of side spaces and the character width (mO+ml+m2) cannot exceed the value
shown below.

Chapter 6

MS-DOS AND YOUR PRINTER

When using your printer with an IBM PC, PC-XT, or PC-AT or compatible,
you will probably be using PC-DOS or MS-DOS as an operating system. A

number of software tricks may be useful here. This chapter is not, however,

a substitute for the operating system manuals supplied with your computer.
To learn how to print files, etc. it is best to read the relevant parts of these
manuals.

INSTALLING APPLICATION SOFTWARE WITH

YOUR PRINTER

When installing application software, you may find that your printer is not
specifically mentioned in the lists of printers given for installation. How­ever, this should pose no problem. Read this section, and guidelines
provided with your software on printer installation.

If you have your printer set up in standard mode, then choose an Epson LQ-

1050 or LQ-850 as your printer to be selected.
If neither of these are mentioned, choose one of the following (in order of
preference): Star NB-15, Star NB24-15, Epson LQ-1000, Epson LQ-1500.

If you have your printer set up with the DIP switches to emulate an IBM
Proprinter XL24, simply choose this from the list of printers available in the
application software list.
If the IBM Proprinter XL24 is not mentioned, use Proprinter X24 or
Proprinter II.

If your software package does not mention printers by name, but asks instead
what features your printer is capable of, the most common questions are:
“Can your printer perform a backspace?” and “Can it do a hardware form
feed?“. You should answer “Yes” to both these questions.

Other software packages may well allow you to install specific features.
Spreadsheet programs will often ask for the maximum number of columns

to be printed. This is given below.

83

Number of columns CPI
Pica 10
Elite 12
Condensed pica

17.1
Condensed elite 20
Proportional

136

163
233
272
Variable

Sometimes the software installation will ask you for an initialization
sequence to return to the default settings. The command for your printer is
<ESC> @.

Make sure that the DIP switches are set for the right printer emulation, and
that you have selected the appropriate character set using the DIP switches.
If you are in doubt about the configration of your application software, seek
expert advice. Your software supplier will probably be your most conve­nient reference.

EMBEDDING PRINTER COMMANDS

Many word-processors and other software lack commands for changing font

style, or printing double-size characters, and some do not even support bold
printing or italics. Your printer therefore has commands that can be embed­ded in documents to control these functions without software help. The
commands consist of a capital letter enclosed in double parentheses,
followed by a digit:

Font style:

Size:

Bold:

Italic:

84

WI)1

If you want to print a title in double-size Script, then change to regular-size
Courier for some text that includes italics, you can use these commands as
follows:

File as seen on computer screen:

t(P))4 c(S))3

Printer Commands

t(F))0 t(S))0

Font style, size, bold print, and

((1))lItalic ((1))Ocommands can be embedded
((1))lanywhere ((1))Oin a document.

Printout:

l

P-Jt-

co-

Font style, size, bold print, and

Italic commands can be embedded

anywhere in a document.

When you use these commands there are several points to note:

l The font style ((F)) and italic ((I)) commands are ignored if the (STYLO

button was held down when power was switched on.

.

A line consisting of commands alone prints as a blank line.

l Software does not know that these commands are commands, so you

cannot trust your software to give you the correct line width. The printed

‘line may he considerably shorter than the line on the screen; the missing

space is the space that was occupied by the commands.

One way to handle the last problem is to prepare your document without the
commands, then insert them as a final step, with the margins released. The
find, replace, and copy functions of word-processing software can he helpful
here.

If you do not use these commands or the panel controls, the printer will print
standard-size, draft, non-hold, non-italic characters.

The printer supports various commands in addition to the above, such as

quadruple-size printing.
Most of these other commands consist of the escape code followed by one
or more letters or numbers.
If your software enables you to place the escape code in your files, or if you
were able to define this as a user option during installation, you can also
embed these escape sequences.

PROGRAMMING THE PRINTER WITH DOS

COMMANDS

If your system includes the file PRINT.COM you can use the main DOS
printing command. Simply type the word PRINT followed by the name of
the file you want to print. To print a file named README.DOC, for
example, type:

A>PRINT README.DOC

The computer may respond with the following message, asking which
printer to use:

Name of list device [PRNJ:

If your computer is connected to only one printer, press RETURN to select
the default choice (PRN). Printing will begin and the A> prompt will
reappear. You can execute other commands or programs while the file is
being printed.

A single PRINT command can print two or more files. List the file names
consecutively on the same line, or use wild-card characters (* and ?). Each

file will be printed starting on a new page. The PRINT command also has
control options. For example, you can terminate a printing job in progress
with the /r option. (The printer may not stop printing immediately it may
have considerable data stored ahead inits buffer.) For the /‘f option, type:

A>PRINT/T

See your DOS manual for further information about the PRINT command.
If your system does not include PRINT.COM, you can print files by using
the PRN device name in COPY or TYPE commands such as the following:

A>COPY README.DOC PRN
A>TYPE README.DOC >PRN

86

COPY and TYPE do not permit you to execute other commands while the
file is printing.

If you want a particular font style, or print pitch, you can make these settings
from the control panel before you start printing. See Chapter 2.

If you print from the DOS command level very often, it will be advantageous
to create a printer setup file. Then instead of setting font style etc. manually
each time, you can complete the setup with a single command from your
computer. For example, you can create a file containing printer commands
to select letter quality, and select elite pitch. You can find the commands in
Chapter 4. We suggest the following:

l Letter quality
l Elite pitch

<ESC> “x” “1”

‘&,9?

<ES0 .

<l>

<ES0 “!” <l> is a powerful command that, in addition to selecting elite

pitch, cancels unwanted features such as underlining which might be left

from previous commands. The angle brackets around the <l> indicate
character code 1, which is a control code, not the printable digit “ 1”.

You may want to place additional commands in this file, such as left and
right margins, line spacing and bottom margin commands. Or you may want

to create a variety of setup files with a different set of commands in each.
To avoid excess line feeds, you should place the commands on one line in

the setup file. You may or may not be able to generate a setup file with word­processing software; it depends on whether your software lets you enter
control codes. If your system includes the file EDLIN.COM, however, you
can easily create a setup file with the DOS line editor.

An appropriate name for this setup file would be LQELIIEDAT. To use the
DOS line editor, type the command EDLIN LQELIIEDAT, then type the
underlined parts of the following display. Press RETURN at the end of each
line. Don’t type the symbol “*“. This symbol means to hold the CTRL key
down while pressing the next key: for example, /\V means to type CTRL-V.
*C means to type CTRL-C, which indicates the end of the input.

A>EDLIN LQELITE.DAT

New file

*.L

l:*

*V[xl^V[!*VA

.

2'*^c

“E

-

87

AV indicates that the following character is a control code. ^V[ enters the
<ES0 code. <ES0 has character code 27, and “[” is the 27th character in
ASCII sequence from A. Similarly, *VA enters the control code cl>. See
your DOS manual if you need further information about EDLIN.

You can now set up the printer by sending it the file LQELITBDAT. To
avoid unnecessary logging of commands, switch hard-copy output off (by
pressing CTRL-PRTSC if hard copy is on). To print the file README.DOC
in LQ elite type, give the following two commands:

A>COPY LQELITE.DAT PRN
A>PRINT README.DOC

For greater convenience you can make a batch file that will set up the printer
and print any specified file with a single command. To create such a batch
file with the name LQPRINT.BAT, type in the first four lines shown next.
‘55 means to press the CTRL and Z keys simultaneously. To use this file to
print RBADMBDOC, type the fifth line.

A>COPY CON LQPRINT.BAT
COPY LQELITE.DAT PRN
PRINT %l

*Z

A>LQELITE README.DOC

The first above line is a copy command from the CONsole screen to a file

named LQPRINT.BAT. The next two lines are the contents of this file. The

% 1 is a dummy parameter: whatever file name you type after LQPRINT will

be substituted for % 1 and printed.

PROGRAMMING WITH BASIC

As an example of programming the printer on Microsoft BASIC, we have

listed the program for the IBM-PC. This program runs in the printer’s

Standard mode, and the downloadable’condition (DIP switch l-6 ON and
DIP switch 2-l OFF).
