Appendix C
Printer Command Summaries
Printer control codes are listed under each of the two printer control modes: BJ mode and LQ mode.
Printer control codes tell the printer how to print a job.
You can send commands in several ways:
You can use your software application to automatically embed certain commands (such
as bold, underline, or indent) within a document. Your software application usually
displays a symbol (such as B for bold) or changes the appearance of the displayed text
to indicate the embedded commands. When the document prints, the embedded
commands control the way the printer produces the printed page. See your software
application manual for instructions on sending commands.
You can send specific commands directly to the printer, using either a BASIC
statement or a printer command option in your software application.
Entering a setup string in Lotus 1-2-3
The procedure for entering printer control commands in Lotus 1-2-3 is typical of the procedures used
in spreadsheet software applications. If you are using another spreadsheet, review your application
manual to determine if your software application supports printer option setups. Although the
procedure to enter the codes may differ slightly, you will still have to enter the same number codes.
For a list of these codes, refer to the tables later in this appendix.
