Procedure II
1. At the MS-DOS prompt, type LPINST (ENTER).
Now, the screen shows:
Does your printer automatically linefeed
after a carriage return?
2. Press Q or Q. If you are not sure about what to answer, run
a printout test. If the printer double spaces lines, return to
MS-DOS, run LPINST as above, and answer Q. Again, run a
printout to insure the printer is performing as expected.
Note: If you do not want the system to automatically
set for your printer (i.e., you change printers frequent-
ly), you may manually reconfigure the system by issu-
ing
a simple “MODE” command at the MS-DOS prompt.
To turn the extra line feed off, type If (ENTER). At the system
prompt, type
mode lfoff (ENTER).
To turn the extra line feed on, type If (ENTER). At the system
prompt, type
mode lfon (ENTER).
If you reset the computer, the system returns to its default setting,
LFON. After you issue the appropriate mode command, your
Tandy
1000 is configured to work with your printer.
