- Line Length
- ───────────
- This is the length of each word-wrapped line.
-
-
- Page Length
- ───────────
- This is the number of lineswhich can be printed
- on a page. Depends on how your printer is set
- up. Usually Length times Lines per Inch = Page
- Length. For example, 11 inches times 6 lines
- per inch = Page Length 66
-
-
- Top Margin
- ──────────
- The number of blank lines you want to appear at
- the top of each page.
-
-
- Left Margin
- ───────────
- The number of blank spaces you want to appear
- at the left margin of each line.
-
-
- Init String
- ───────────
- This is a sequence of codes (up to 40
- characters) which is sent to the printer prior
- to any text and in used to set the printer to a
- desired font, character size, etc. These codes
- are very specific to each printer. Consult your
- printer manual for more information. Examples
- include;
-
-
- CHR(15) - Condensed mode for many printers
-
- CHR(27)+'[0p' - Sets QMS Kiss to Portrait Mode
-
-
- NOTE: Spelling errors, missing quotation marks,
- etc. can cause an unrecoverable error in
- the program. You are, in essence,
- placing a line of code into the program
- by entering an Init String. A
- syntactically correct string will not
- cause an error. Check your Init String
- carefully!
