Most word processors are not initially set up to send all of the
commands you might want to use. Most of them have a key or
sequence of keys, to send the bold command. Others may also
underline. If you want to send other commands, perhaps for italic, or
double-width, you’ll probably have to set up your word processor
accordingly
Many programs allow you to assign commands to function keys (or
a sequence of keys). When the key (or keys) is pressed, the command is
then placed in the document. This is called
embedding
printer
commands.
Although many word processors let you assign commands to
various keys, most rely on you to find the correct command for the type
of printing you want.
For example, if your word processor isn’t set up for double-width
printing, you would look up the LQ’s command for double-width
(ESC W 1) in the Command Summary Once you’ve found the
command, you would check your word processors manual to find out
how to send it.
Remember, if your LQ is not printing the way you think it should,
check
both
the LQ and your word processor, and review this checklist:
Make sure you’ve selected the correct printer.
Carefully read the printer setup and installation information in your
word processors manual.
C heck the printer options that may be part of the installation or
setup section (line feeds, interface, etc.).
your word processor cancels SelecType macros or other settings
before printing, find out whether you can modify the program’s
initialization command.
Make sure your word processor is capable of sending the proper
commands to your printer.
If you’re still having difficulty printing, check the troubleshooting
section in your word processor’s manual, or in Appendix D of this
manual.
