^V indicates
that the following
character
is a control
code. "V[ enters
the <ESC > code.
< ESC>
has character
code 27, and "[" is the 27th
character
in ASCII
sequence
from A.
Similarly,
"VA enters
the control
code < 1 > and "VL enters the control
code < 12 > . See your DOS manual
if you need further
information
about
EDLIN.
You can now set up the printer
by sending it the file NLQELITE.DAT.
To avoid unnecessary
logging
of commands,
switch hard-copy
output
off
(by
pressing
CTRL-PRTSC
if hard
copy
is on).
To
print
the
tile
README.DOC
in NLQ elite type, give the following
two commands:
A >COPY
NLQELITE
. DAT
PRN
A>PRINT
README.
DOC
For greater
convenience
you can make a batch file that will set up the
printer
and print any specified
file with a single command.
To create such
a batch file with the name NLQPRINT.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 NLQPRINT.BAT
COPY NLQELITE.DAT PRN
PRINT %1
^Z
A>NLQPRINT README.DOC
The first above line is a copy command
from the CONsole
screen to
a file named
NLQPRINT.BAT.
The next two lines are the contents
of this
file. The %l is a dummy
parameter:
whatever
file name
you type after
NLQPRINT
will be substituted
for %l and printed.
PROGRAMMING
THE PRINTER WITH BASIC
As an example
of programming
the printer
in Microsoft
BASIC,
we
have listed the program
for the IBM-PC
that printed
the sample of features
shown at the beginning
of this manual.
This program
runs in the printer's
Standard
mode (DIP switch l-6 ON).
