#96558 - Character Code entry

So, i have to look into 89c52 system. I am directly connecting 89c52 ports to printer (no buffer). I am using 8 bit data lines + busy + ack.

Surely, the LPT: port has more lines than that?

If you search here, you will find plenty of links & references to using the LPT: port - http://www.epanorama.net is a good one, and Jan Axelson's http://www.lvr.com/

The first thing to do would be to put a scope on the lines, and compare what the PC's doing with what your 89C52 is doing...

Pl tell me how do i put formfeed in pure text file created by notepad

I thought you said it worked without - so why worry?

Anyhow, the standard Windoze way is to key the 3-digit decimal ASCII code on the numeric keypad whilst holding down the ALT key.
Maybe later Windoze versions require 4 digits...?

or by wordstar in non document mode.

No idea - see your Wordstar Manual.

You sould always try:
copy con: lpt1:
and a Ctrl+L would then be a formfeed (and you'd need Ctrl+Z to exit the copy)
