LOTUS 1-2-3
Original Version:
The original version of Lotus l-2-3 is perhaps the most widely used
applications program. It also predates the popularity of laser printers.
However, Lotus l-2-3 can readily be used with dot-matrix printers. This
makes it easy to use with the Star LaserPrinter 8111, because it emulates two
dot-matrix printers, the Epson EX-800 and the IBM Proprinter.
There are two ways to make Lotus compatible with a printer:
l
permanently, in a startup configuration file through the /Worksheet
Menu, and
l
temporarily, through the Print/Printer Menu.
The more straightforward of the two choices is to make the choice pennanent
and automatic upon startup. Doing this saves the printer setup in the file
223.CNI on the Lotus system disk. Here is how to do this:
At the opening screen and Menu, select Worksheet by typing
/W
ln the next Menu, select Global by typing
G
and then, at the Global Menu, select Default by typing
.D
ln the Default Menu, type
P
for Printer. Now you are ready to make some selections about the configu-
ration of your Star LaserPrinter 8111..
The first of these is telling Lotus l-2-3 whether your printer will use a parallel
or serial interface.
For parallel, type
