This library of files contains what you need to get more from 1-2-3 and
your printer. It is made up of 3 files:
1) 123PRINT.DOC <THIS FILE>
2) PRTCODES.WKS <THE PRINTCODES WORKSHEET>
3) SAMPLE.WKS <A SAMPLE WORKSHEET SHOWING THE USAGE OF THIS TECHNIQUE>
The method here is to imbed the required control or escape codes right
into a 1-2-3 worksheet to access special features available on your printer.
The SAMPLE.WKS file listed above will work with Epson printers. However, the
method can be used with any printer on the market that has the ability to
recognize and respond to control and escape codes. The negative side to this
system is the the graphics characters that correspond to the codes show up on
the screen when the worksheet is in use.
This system allows you to get the most out of your printer when using
1-2-3. It eliminates the need for printing the worksheet to a disk file and
then adding the desired codes with a word processor. Keep in mind that a 1-2-3
file that has "printed to disk" contains only a "picture" of the worksheet and
that if any revision is needed to the worksheet, (formulas, tables etc.)
importing the .PRN file back into 1-2-3 won't do any good.
If you wish to have a diskette with the print codes needed for your
printer sent to you, send a $15.00 check or money order to the address below.
Include a list of the printer control and escape codes that you wish to access,
along with the description of each feature. Be sure to indicate whether the
codes are in ASCII, HEX or SYMBOLIC as shown below. A library of popular
printers and their codes is constantly being updated. If there is any question
about a specific code, try to send a photocopy of the manual page(s) along with
the order for clarification. An example of this is shown below.
Printer name and model: EPSON MX-100
Printer feature Required code(s)
Condensed print on 15A
Permanent double wide on 1BH 57H 01H
Italic character set on ESC 4
NOTE: PRINTCODES REQUIRING THE USE OF THE NUL CHARACTER CODE MAY NOT WORK CORRECTLY WITH THIS METHOD.
You will receive a diskette containing a document file that will walk
you through some examples of using this method, and a 1-2-3 worksheet file
containing the printer codes that you requested. If you wish to get codes for
more than one printer, include an additional $5.00 for each additional set of
codes. All of the codes will be returned to you on one IBM formatted doubled
sided 8 sector diskette. Send your order to:
