3. Type an escape sequence, for example, the NLQ On command:
ESC [2"z
What you type will not
be
echoed on the screen.
4. Hold down the CTRL key and press the backslash
("')
key to terminate the
keyboard file.
If
your printer supports NLQ mode, NLQ will now be on. Any
file
you
COpy
or
TYPE to prt: will be printed
in
near letter quality. You can also use the four steps
above to create small printer command files. For example, you could replace the
prt: in step 1 with ram:NLQon.
Then the four steps will create a file called NLQon
in
ram:. To tum on NLQ,
copy ram: NLQon to prt:.
