Spreadsheets
Although spreadsheets seldom use as many printing styles as word
processors, they do have some very specific requirements.
Installation and column width
If your spreadsheet program provides a list of printers, refer to Table
4-1 for the proper priority If your spreadsheet doesn’t have a printer
setup routine, you should carefully read the program’s manual for
information on its printing facility
A major concern when printing spreadsheets is the width of the
printer. The LQ-2500 is a 136-column printer, which makes it
particularly well-suited for spreadsheets. By combining modes and
pitches with SelecType, you can have 68 to 272 printable columns (or
characters), across a 14-inch page, as shown in Table 4-2.

Printer commands
Unlike word processors, spreadsheet programs don’t usually let you
place printer commands within a spreadsheet. Instead, one pitch or
mode of printing is used for the whole spreadsheet. With the LQ-2500,
there are three ways of sending commands to print a spreadsheet.
