Summary:

One way to enter printer control codes in Multiplan is to enter codes using the CHAR function. Although this function has not been documented in Multiplan Versions 3.x, 4.00, or 4.01, it is probably the easiest method for embedding printer codes.

For example, to embed a decimal printer control sequence of ASCII characters 27 (ESC), 34, and 29 in a given cell, choose the Value command, type CHAR(27)&CHAR(34)&CHAR(29), and press ENTER.

Using Multiplan Versions 4.00 and later, it may be necessary to choose TTYFF.PRD as the printer with the Print Options command, and select margins of 0 (zero) to avoid conflicts with the existing printer driver.
