 SL> output though it's effect does. If you ever see a control string

 SL> for a different printer making it unrecognizable to the printer 
 SL> so it gets passed through to the printout.
 I am still in the dark.  Give me an example as this is Greek to me.
 I have no idea what syntax to use.  I am aware that they should be
 different for different printers and I will have to find the codes
 in my printer manual.  I have an EPSON LQ-570.
