This chapter describes many of the printing features of the LQ. You
can read this chapter if you wish, but you may not need to. Whether
or not you use the rest of this manual depends upon your expertise,
your interest, and the software you use.

tures covered:

The details of printer-computer communication are complex, but
for most purposes all you need to know is that the computer sends a
series of codes (each consisting of one or more numbers) to the printer,
and the printer interprets them.
