This will test the legal-image ability of your NEC LC890. Insert 14-inch paper in bin 2 (the front one), and save the following as an unformatted ASCII file. Then copy it to your printer. If you have an IBM/DOS system, and use LPT1, and you call the file LEGAL.TXT, the DOS command would be COPY LEGAL.TXT LPT1: Here's the file: statusdict begin 2 setpapertray legal end /Courier findfont 72 scalefont setfont 36 936 moveto (Legal Top) show 36 36 moveto (Legal Bottom) show showpage * Where I've shown an asterisk, you need to replace it with the ASCII end-of-file "diamond" symbol. Your word processor may provide it with ALT-4, other editors may use CTRL-D. When printed, you should see "Legal Top" at the top of the 14-inch page, and "Legal Bottom" at (appropriately) the bottom. If your NEC is like mine, you'll also see 14 tiny dots in the upper-right corner! Regards, Roger.
