Qume

and
all
future

Printers
that
do
not require lpc:
26-1150,
1152, 1153, 1154, 1159,
and
the
a
version of
lpiii
(26-1
156A).
You
must
load the
lpc program
before
you
load
an
application
program.
The
easiest
way
to
do
this
is
to
copy lpc
onto
your data/program
diskette
and
then
use
the
auto
command
to
load
lpc
automatically
each
time
you
use
the
system.
For
instance, type:
COPY LPCsi
:0
dNSE)
Then,
to
make
lpc
an
auto
command
on
the diskette, type:
AUTO LPC/CMD
(ENTER)
Whenever
you
use
your
program
diskette,
lpc
will
automatically load
into
memory
and
you
can use
the
program
as usual.
lpc
locates into the
highest available
memory.
There
is
no need
to
set
MEMORY
SIZE
to
protect lpc.
It
"hides"
itself.
However, you
still
need
to
set
memory
if
required
by your
application
program, lpc
will
be
killed
if
the
clear
command
is
used.
Warning: Once
the
lpc
utility
program
is
loaded and
installed,
you
should not
reload
it
except
after
a
reset.
Reloading
re-installs
the
program and
uses
up
more
space each
time!
lpc
will
not
execute
if
the Printer
has
been
routed elsewhere.
Also,
if
lpc has been executed and
then
the Printer
is
routed elsewhere,
the
original printer
driver
will
regain control
after the
routing.
