Thanks Judago, I changed my .txt file to a .reg file and added the NOTEPAD /P like the link said to do and it worked great. Thanks for the help, I was working on this for 2 weeks. Thanks again

I think you missed the point, you don't have to change the file extension, just specify it, as long as it contains plaintext. NOTEPAD /P "yourfile.txt" I wouldn't recommend using the .reg extension, it normally denotes a plain text export of registry entries. Batch Variable how to

This means that the LQ can get away with setting vertical pitch to 8 lpi and still look good (line gap proportional to character height), while the citizen looks somewhat too "spacey". In printing applications, such as labels and forms, where exact fractional inch denominations are necessary, 8 lpi should be used on both. However, the MSP looks much better at 7/72ths when printing microprint, so use that when printing free-form. It won't work on any standard inch-based labels with out de-selecting and backing the roller about 2 dots every other inch. The MSP variable-line-spacing increments are 72nds, 144ths, and 216ths, while the LQ's are 60ths, 180ths, and 360ths. The LQ's commands are esc A, 3, and + for these respectively, followed by the quantity. Most of the other commands are consistant, but any further differences will be noted in ESC.LQ, which will start out as a copy of this, and be modified as differences are encountered.
