Chapter 6 / Command Reference
• The first
three
parameters
must
all
be included on
the
com-
mand line when
ON
is specified. OFF should be specified
alone. For example,
LPSETUP ON,
18M,
1 and LPSETUP
OFF
are
valid commands,
but
LPSETUP ON, IBM is not.
• Each time
LPSETUP
is
turned
on, any previous escape codes
sent to a printer
in
IBM mode (or to LPDRVRSYS)
that
deal
with
page length or perforation skip
are
cancelled. Otherwise,
there would be conflicts between
the
pagination attempted by
LPSETUP and
that
by
the
IBM printer or LPDRVRSYS.
If
your printer is
not
IBM-compatible, and
has
been issued
escape codes
an
IBM printer would not understand, consult
your printer
manual
and
cancel those codes to prevent the
same printer/LPSETUP pagination conflicts mentioned above.
In
particular, use whatever code
it
takes to cancel skip
perforation.
• Each time you invoke LPSETUP
with
the
ON
parameter,
the
line number is
set
to
1,
and
the
page number is either
set
to
the
page number value
in
the
command line, or to 1
if
you
omit
that
parameter. All other pagination settings (number of
lines per page, number of lines to skip over page perforation,
etc.)
are
not
changed
until
a new escape code is issued
for
that
particular
pagination setting.
•
You
must
re-type
the
LPSETUP command each time
the
clock
inside your computer rolls over to a new 24-hour period (day)
to
insure
LPSETUP has
the
current
date.
•
If
the
parallel port number
you
specify is not available
(because
the
appropriate parallel board is not installed
in
your machine), you will be told so, and the entire command
will be aborted!
