(PC437).
In order
to print the

the command ESC t 1 must be sent. In the Basic
programming language, the sequence would be as follows:
t.PRtNT
CHR$(27);“CT);CHR$(3);CHR$(O);CHR$(l);CHR$(3);CHR$(O);
LPRINT
CHR$(27);7’;CHR$(l);
LPRINT
CHR$(245)

and
LQ-1170
printers sold for the U.S. market. Foreign
Character Generator ROMs ARE NOT available in the United States. The following
