Introduction

Printer drivers are ASCII text files that can be edited with a text editor, such as Windows Notepad. Printer drivers contain records and associated keywords. The maximum record length is 80 characters so each line is a record. Where a record requires more than 80 characters, you can place a backslash (\) at the end of the line and continue on to the next line. The backslash acts as a continuation character. Multiple lines can be included in a single record by placing backslashes at the end of each preceding line. For example:

weight_strokes(mm)= (0.25, 0.50, 0.75, 1.00, 1.25, 1.50\

1.75, 2.00, 2.25, 2.50, 2.75, 3.00, 3.25, 3.50, 3.75\

4.00, 4.25, 4.50, 4.75, 5.00, 5.25, 5.50, 5.75, 6.00)

is read as a single record although it spans several lines.
