Another of the selections under options is Setup. This selec-
tion allows you to create a setup string that will be sent to the
printer before each section of the spreadsheet is printed. You
can include non-printing codes in the setup string by using a
backslash (\) followed by a three digit number that consists of
the decimal ASCII value for the code that you wish to send (with
leading zeros if required). For example, to print a worksheet in
condensed print, use the setup string \O15. This sends ASCII
15which is the code for condensed printing. The following table
shows how many character columns will fit with different print-
ing width, and the setup string to get each width.
