Summit Spectrum 28.13

These files are not needed for printing QueryCalc reports.

This is a collection of 5 files. The first 4 files contain escape sequences that have been tested and used to print Spectrum output to HP LaserJet printers. The fifth file is a text file that explains how the escape sequences are constructed.

Following is an example of using the escape sequences to print an income statement:

`        General Ledger Statement of Income Report
