455.0. "Translation from Danish to English help wanted" by FORTY2::MOORE (Paul Moore, 7-830-4267, RE02 E/F2) Tue Mar 12 1991 07:40

I've just received this configuration file for a printer. However, I'm not 
able to understand the file's operation as the comments are in Danish. Would
some kind person be able to help with a simple English translation, please?

Regards,

- Paul

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here follows the configuration file (I've only included the comments):

# lp interface for EPSON LX850 printer
#
# Sidelaengden saettes til A4-format,
# dvs 70 linier (default linieafstand er en sjettedel tomme paa LX850).
# (sidelaengde-kommando "\033CF")
# Endvidere saettes bundmargen til 3 linier (kommando er "\033N\003").
# Til slut saettes "emphasized printing" af filnavnet (kommando er \033E)
# (Fjaernes laengere nede med \033F kommandoen).
# (Om disse escape-sekvenser se Epson LX850 Reference Guide).

              -< Translation from Danish to English help wanted >-

Approximate translation (text that is not in the original but is added for
clarity is enclosed in square brackets):

>> # lp interface for EPSON LX850 printer
>> #
>> # Sidelaengden saettes til A4-format,

Page length is set to A4 format [slightly taller and narrower than 8.5 x 11]

>> # dvs 70 linier (default linieafstand er en sjettedel tomme paa LX850).

i.e., 70 lines (default line spacing is one sixth of an inch on LX850).

>> # (sidelaengde-kommando "\033CF")

(page-length command "\033CF")

>> # Endvidere saettes bundmargen til 3 linier (kommando er "\033N\003").

Further, the bottom margin is set to 3 lines (command is "\033N\003").

>> # Til slut saettes "emphasized printing" af filnavnet (kommando er \033E)

Finally, the printer is set to print the file name using "emphasized printing"
(command is \033E)

>> # (Fjaernes laengere nede med \033F kommandoen).

[This command] is removed [what is meant is nullified] further down using the
\033F command).

>> # (Om disse escape-sekvenser se Epson LX850 Reference Guide).
