1. Introduction

Programming Manual

4.You may want to minimize keystrokes and program size by assigning the <ESC> character to a string variable since this character is used quite often.

The following two examples in BASIC show a typical example using these hints. Both of these examples use the Standard Protocol codes.

1.5 Printing with the Parallel Port

10	E$=CHR$(27)	Sets the “E$” string as an
		<ESC> character
20	WIDTH “LPT1:”,255	Sets the width of the output to
		255 characters
30	LPRINT E$;"A";	Sends an “<ESC>A” command
		code to the LPT1 parallel port
40	LPRINT E$;"H400";E$;"V100";E$;"XL1SATO";	Sends the data “SATO” to be to
		be placed 400 dots horizontally
		and 100 dots vertically on the
		label and printed in the “XL”
		font.
50	LPRINT E$;"Q1";	Instructs the printer to print one
		label.
60	LPRINT E$; “Z”;	Tells the printer that the last
		command has been sent. The
		printer can now create and print
		the job.
