Printer codes are easy to install in PROFILE 2068 as per the manual pages 115 & 116. The easiest place to get the printer codes in hex is from your printer manual. An up-arrow must be used for each hex number making up the code. This works fine for the printer driver in LPRINT mode.
If the printer makes an extra line feed or maybe no line feed it is not necessary to change the dip switch that controls LF. Just PEEK the address 63773 for either a “10” or a “0”. If you are getting an extra LF just POKE 63773,0 and if no LF poke in “10”. The up-arrow does not seem to work for this code, at least when working with a PROFILE file.
Other printer codes can be entered in PROFILE as a file or added to the first line first characters. The easiest is to make a file of just the up-arrow codes and use “THEN” to send that code to the printer. Another ENTER will bring back the cursor. In order to cancel this file save the file with “G” and then search for the file data you entered, as “^1B^6C^20”. Then delete it with “D”. This code sets the left margin at 32 for my printer. NOTE: If this procedure is followed when starting a new file in empty PROFILE it may wipe out the date on the menu page. Just reset the date if it does.
Now you can use AUTO and print files at other than 0 left margin. Italics, Compressed, Elite, Emphasized, NLQ, can be used for file printing.
The reason for making a special code file and deleting it after sending the data to the printer is that the first file to be printed in AUTO mode can’t be added to without changing it to the last file, which defeats the purpose of setting the printer.
