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.
