Star Micronics NR-10, NR-15 user manual Print columns on a page with Lotus l-2-3

14

You can direct sections of headers and footers to the left, right, or center by using the ) character. Each header or footer is divided into three sections; Left, center and right. The ~ character shows the limits of these sections. So to print a header with the date to the left, a title in the center, and a page number to the right, the header might look like this:

@ I Spreadsheet Title I Page #

And, on August 12, 1986, the results might look like this:

12-Aug-86 Spreadsheet Title Page 1

Another of the selections under Options is Setup. This se- lection 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 \015. This sends ASCII 15 which is the code for condensed printing. The following table shows how many character columns will fit with different printing widths, and the setup string to get each width.
