MTPL

As the emulations do not cover the entire scope of your printer, a new printer
language, which is adapted to this printer model, has been created. Using MTPL
you are able to optimize operation and handling.
MTPL can be used in connection with other emulations or can be used alone.

Example in BASIC

open "LPT1:" as #1
width #1,255
Text1$ = "10 characters/inch"
Text2$ = "15 characters/inch"
ESC$ = chr$(27)
print
#1,ESC$;"[4w";Text1$;ESC$;"[6w";Text2$;ESC$;"[4w";Text1$
end

Example in Pascal

program cpi_example;
uses printer;
const ESC = #27;
Text1 = "10 characters/inch";
Text2 = "15 characters/inch";
begin
writeln(lst,Esc,"[4w",Text1,ESC,"[6w",Text2,Esc,"[4w",Text1);
end.

Printout

After the program has been completed the following text will be printed out:
10 characters/inch 10 characters/inch
15 characters/inch
