<ESC> code. <ESC> has character code 27, and "[" is the 27th character
from A in the ASCII sequence. Similarly, 'VA enters the control code< 1>.
See your DOS manual if you need further information about EDLIN.
You can now set up the printer by sending it the file LQELITE.DAT. To
avoid unnecessary logging of commands, switch hard-copy output off (by
pressing CTRL-PRTSC if hard copy is on). To print the file README.DOC
in LQ elite type, give the following two commands:
A>COPY LQELITE . DAT PRN
A>PRINT README. D OC
For greater convenience you can make a batch file that will setup the printer
and print any specified file with a single command. To create such a batch
file with the name LQPRINT.BAT, type in the first four lines shown next.
'Z means to press the CTRL and Z keys simultaneously. To use this file to
print README.DOC, type the fifth line.
A>COPY CON LQPRINT . BAT
COPY LQELITE . DAT PRN
PRINT %1

A>LQPRINT README . D(3C:
The first line above is a copy command from the CONsole screen to a file
named LQPRINT.BAT. The next two lines are the contents of this file. The
Yo
1is a dummy parameter: whatever file name you type after LQPRINT will
