Greetings! When I'm using Uniterm, I've often had the desire to change my printer setups (e.g. from draft to LQ or from 80 col @ 6 l.p.i to 132 col @ 8 l.p.i) I know what the escape sequences are and I tried creating the files contain- ing these sequences on a VMS system and then turning on Autoprint (Alt-F8) and $TYPE-ing the files, but this doesn't work. What am I overlooking? Thanks for any pointers. Rich Murray

| 925.1 | Use controller mode, if they have it, instead | PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ | Jeffrey A. Lomicka | Mon Jul 23 1990 10:43 | 11 |
If this were a DEC terminal, I'd say that you need to use "printer controller mode" rather than "autoprint". On a DEC terminal, AUTPORINT prints from the screen, as lines scroll, but printer controller mode allows direct host control of the printer. Try placing ESC [ 5 i ESC [ 6 i before the text, and ESC [ 4 i after it, and see if that helps. | |||||

Jeff, Thanks! That was it exactly. Now I can <ESC> to my heart's content (except from my kids :^) ) Regards, Rich Murray | |||||
