Try typing PRINT 5,10,15 at the "]" prompt and you will see what I mean...it sends the numbers with lots of spaces in between, which isn't what the printer wants here. Anyway, from my ref manual it looks like the thing wants THREE-DIGIT tab stop numbers. So try this (noting that CHR$(40) is a "(" and that CHR$(46) is a "."; you can use either approach): 50 PRINT CHR$(27);"(005,010,015,020,025,030,035,040,045,050."; (The ";" at the end prevents a RETURN from being sent. Leaving it out would just cause a blank line to be printed.) By the way, I noticed another note suggesting something like PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#1";CHR$(9)... This won't work; you _do_ need a return after a Ctrl-D command (the return does _not_ get sent to the printer; it just ends the command). >-Shabtai Klein >____________________________________________________________________ >| There is more to life than | UUCP: uunet!pyramid!cdp!sklein \ >| increasing its speed. | Internet: cdp!sklein@arisia.xerox.com | >| | BitNet: cdp!sklein%labrea@stanford | >| --Mohandis K Gandhi | PhoneNet: (301) 270-2250 | > \___________________________________________________________________/ --David A.
