Fire-Lite PRN-6 Reference-Manual - Manual (Page 33)

MTPL As the emulations do not cover the entire scope of your printer, a new
printer language has been created. Using MTPL you are able to optimize
operation and handling.
MTPL can be used in connection with other emulations or can be used
alone.
Example in BASIC open “LPT1:” as #1
width #1,255
Text1$ = “10 characters/inch”
Text2$ = “15 characters/inch”
ESC$ = chr$(27)
print #1,ESC$;"[4w";Text1$;ESC$;"[6w";Text2$;ESC$;"[4w";Text1$
end
Example in Pascal
program cpi_example;
uses printer;
const
ESC = #27;
Text1 = “10 characters/inch”;
Text2 = “15 characters/inch”;
begin
writeln(lst,Esc,"[4w",Text1,ESC,"[6w",Text2,Esc,"[4w",Text1);
end.
Printout After the program has been completed the following text appears:
10 characters/inch 15 characters/inch 10 characters/inch
How are escape sequences used?
