MTPL
As the emulations do not cover the entire scope of your printer, a new printer
language, which is adapted to this printer model, 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 will be printed out:
10 characters/inch
15 characters/inch
10 characters/inch
