printed output

[Nancy Palmquist]

Richard,

I usually also adjust the top margin also to make the printed part of 
the page fit more centered on the page.

That code is $1b l7E  Mess with the 7 to make it bigger or smaller and 
just add that after the codes given for the initialization string in code 3.

Every filepro programmer should have a chart with the basic PCL 
commands, it does not have to come from the specific printer you are 
using.  I have a book I kept that came with a printer we bought last 
century and the code list has been invaluable over the years.  I keep it 
handy.
