SLM v2.0 and SRM v2.0 (and SLMQUIET)
NOTE: The only advance over v2.0 of this library is the inclusionáì
of SLMQUIET.COM, which is nothing but a version of SLM which doesáì
not write a banner or any other text to the console screen. Thisáì
may be preferred for inclusion in aliases and other shell scriptsáì
for aesthetic reasons, but the user should note that, failing aáì
sound from the printer, it may be almost impossible to knowáì
whether the program has or has not run.
These two programs are for Z80 and HD64180 based computers andáì
daisywheel printers using the Diablo 1610 command set, whicháì
includes many popular Brother, Comrex, Dynax, and other models. áì
They set the left and right margins on your printer respectively.áì
They have only one command:
SLM n or SRM n
where n is a number from 1 to 255. SLM sets a left margin ináì
column n, SRM a right margin in column n. Typing SLM or SRMáì
without a number shows you a program banner and help screen butáì
has no effect on the printer.
Margins can be cleared by switching power to the printer off oráì
by setting the left margin to 1 and the right margin to a numberáì
larger than the width of your paper.
Note that the right margin setting is fairly brutal. It does notáì
wordwrap. It will trim off anything beyond the margin and printáì
it on the next line. The result of setting a right margin to theáì
left of the left margin is also fairly nasty. It doesn't makeáì
any difference which order you set the margins in, but make sureáì
the number for SLM is smaller than that for SRM.
