11.9.2 Sending the commands from the PC
The easiest way to send the string from the PC to the Centronics or RS-232

make a "print screen". If you have a PC edi tor program, you can of course
also use that and send a file to the printer in your usual way (it must be a
plain ASCII file with no formatting commands).
