FF = 12, but in Archive you need to precede non-printables with a chr(0).
Thus form feed becomes
lprint chr(0)+chr(12)
Hmm, on checking wot I rote just now, it appears that nowadays just
lprint chr(12)
will do the trick
Thus:
proc label
spoolon '_par1'
lprint
lprint
lprint
lprint ' '+name$
lprint ' '+adda$
lprint ' '+addb$
lprint ' '+addc$
lprint
lprint
lprint chr(12)
spooloff
endproc
Ive also got the following "post amble" code in my printer driver (ESC/2):
12,27,"@"
Which means that I dont explicitly have to send an FF, as Archive sends this
as part of the spooloff.
