Example:
#printcap entry for OKIPAE 14i PAGEPRINTER on Network
OKIPAGE 14i:\ :lp=\ :rm=OKIPAGE 14i:\ :rp=OKIPAGE
If there is # at the beginning of the line, this line becomes a comment.
If you enter a carriage return without a space character after a back slash (\), this entry continues to the next line. Please note that if you enter a space character at the end of the printcap line, by mistake, a serious error will occur.
In this example, a tab is set for the left margin for the continuing lines. A continuing line of any entry must begin with a space character, normally with a tab character. If an entry continues to the second line or more, you must place a colon at the end of each line and the beginning of next line.
English
