T Lea of St Helens. Merseyside, has submitted a listing that solves the problem of printing pound (£) and hash (#). The two characters have to share Ascii code 35. If you send a listing to the printer containing both, either the hashes will come out as pounds or vice-versa, depending what country you're set for. The listing uses standard Epson codes and works with printers having a choice of US and UK character sets. Make sure you have the dip-switches set to the UK language set. The routine checks what is sent to the printer. If a hash sign needs printing then Ts program will switch to the US character set. print the hash and revert to the UK set. You can use this routine from within Tasword (and from Protext, but its Setprint function already takes care of the problem) - and of course from Basic. AA |
