Re: Is it possible to draw a box with a printer file that auto-defines itself as a 3812?

Hi Booth,
 
If you use a standard monospace font to draw the boxes, you should be able to 
specify code page 259 when needing to execute the line draw function and then 
return to your usual code page (probably 037 or 1140) when printing other 
required text.
 
FGID 11 - Courier 10 CPI
FGID 85 - Courier 12 CPI
FGID 223 - Courier 15 CPI
 
All three of these choices should work correctly with code page 259 line draw.

Best Regards,
