There are 3 types: 1. Enter - to indicate the FID(0) device and enter lines 4(a),4(b),4(c) 2. Enter a physical device followed by a lock file name (eg./dev/lp /tmp/lp.lck) 3. Enter > follow a linux command to pipe print lines to the command (eg. >lp -o nobanner -s 2>/dev/null) |
| 2: | Init String | This string is sent to the printer at open time. Enter - for no string ; Enter the string HEX format. | |
| 3: | Term String | This string is sent to the printer at close time. Enter - for no string ; Enter the string HEX format. | |
| 4: | Pass Thru | Always enter - lines 4(a),4(b) and 4(c) do not apply | IF the OS Name was NOT - THEN enter - here and lines 4(a),4(b) and 4(c) do not apply ELSE this line become lines 4(a),4(b),4(c) |
| 4(a): | Pass On | Not Applicable | A HEX string that will turn on the Pass Thru Port |
| 4(b): | Pass Off | Not Applicable | A HEX string that will turn off the Pass Thru Port |
| 4(c): | Off Code | Not Applicable | Enter # of characters returned when Print Thru port turns off. 0 for none. |

| Last | Open Mode | Contains MS if the driver starts in serial mode or MP to start in parallel mode | |
| single at positiong @(x) |
| Simulates a Vertical Format Unit (VFU) slew positioning 'S2'->'S8'('VT'='S6'). Slew channels have to be loaded by 'SL',A$,'EL'. A$ contains 1 charater for each line of the page. Start with a "1" (top of form) and contains slew positions numbers "2"->"8" "0"=no stop. |
| double striking character attribute ('BB' to start 'EB' to end) |
| over striking with underline char ('BU' to start 'EU' to end) |
| 'EP' applies to the whole line and is turned off by 'CR'. 'FF','LF','Sx' will execute a 'CR' to empty buffer before positioning takes place. |
