- Printer definition file for WSSINDEX custom print utility
-
- All lines of this file are comments until a line beginning ----. After that,
- alternate lines are comments and parameters. See the CUSTPRNT documentation
- for a description of the format allowed here. The codes in the distributed
- version of this file are for an Epson-compatible dot matrix printer, but you
- may alter these to suit your needs. To make it easier for people to read the
- printer sequences, I have used blanks to separate characters, and commas to
- separate multi-character printer commands. Most of these delimiters are
- not required by the routine which reads this file.
-
- Canon LBP-8A1 commands should work with LBP-8A2 and probably other Canon
- laser printers.
-
- Commands used in this file:
-
