STOP COMMANDS
If
you want the printer to stop printing at a specific location in a file, you can put a
printer stop command in the file when you type it. The stop command can be used to
stop the printer so you can change print wheels in the middle of a file.
When the file is printed the printer will stop at the command. You can restart the
printer by pressing the F key.
The printer stop command is on the Format (Nondisplay) Menu - 115 on the Main
Menu. The command is given by pressing CTRL
