Setup Strings
Some software applications, like older versions of Lotus 1-2-3 for DOS,
require setup strings with PCL printer commands. In the following
example, the Lotus escape character (\027) is shown. This setup string
would be used to change the orientation to landscape, select the PC-8
symbol set with line draw characters, select the small Line Printer font
and change the line spacing to 8.8 lines-per-inch.
