Example EVFU Loading Program
▪ Using standard CENTRONICS parallel interface with 36-pin
connector and P Series protocol.
▪ Using the channel code chart without the PI lead.
▪ This program loads the EVFU table with channel stops at lines 6,
25, 57, and 66.
▪ Set the printer as follows:
▪ GenPtrOpts | Group 2 | Strap 8 OUT to deactivate coded
SELECT/DESELECT operation.
▪ Set up vertical format emulation (VFU)

A start load RS code immediately followed by a stop load US code will
clear the EVFU table. The BASIC code to do this follows
10 LPRINT CHR$(30);
20 LPRINT CHR$(31);
