character to the printer. Use the font translation ta-

beyond the normal range of your computer keyboard.
H.3
Changing the Command Translation
Table
If
your computer will not transmit control characters to the
printer, you can change the command translation table to
assign a control character to any decimal code you desire.
For example, you could assign the
Form Feed
charac-
ter (decimal code 12) to the backslash character (decimal
code 92) or to any other decimal code you choose. (When
reassigning characters you should choose characters that
you do not normally need during printing.)
To make this change to the command translation table,
you would send this command:
LPRINT CHR$(27);"[O;O;92;12 _"
Important Considerations:
• Once you modify the command translation table, it
will affect all emulation modes .
• Modifications to the command translation table affect
all fonts.
• If two or more people are using the same printer,
all users need to be aware of modified translation
tables.
