Using printer commands
You can control your printer using printer commands. Printer commands vary according to the printer installed. Check your printer documentation for information about printer commands to let you use the special functions of your printer.
You can insert printer commands into a document from a printer command file. For more information about printer commands, see “Printer commands.”
WordPerfect allows you to insert a code that pauses the printer at the cursor.
After you send a printer command to the printer, you can reset the printer (using another printer command) to the printer’s default values to restore normal printer functions. For more information about your printer’s default values, see the printer manual.
