Printer configuration

Configuration of external programs

You can select a printer driver and make changes in an editor. The main user-specific settings are the output medium and number of lines.

The printer drivers for list output are Ascii files with variable names for the list generator. They are defined in the following manner:

DATA >VarName< >typ< [>text length<] >starting value<

A driver file looks like this:

DATA LstTrgt TEXT 32 "LPT1"

DATA LstInit TEXT 32 0

DATA LstClose TEXT 32 0

DATA LsttoUSA TEXT 32 0

DATA LsttoGER TEXT 32 0

DATA LstTgSet TEXT 32 0

DATA LstTgCls TEXT 32 0

DATA LstZeil GANZ 64

DATA LstSpal GANZ 80

DATA FormF TEXT 2 12 0
