23. Printer output only ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Sometimes it is handy to be able to send text to the printer only, without it appearing on the VDU screen at the same time. This can be done by using VDU2,21 to activate the printer, and VDU6,3 to turn it off again and to restore the VDU drivers. This can cause problems if you try to send anything other than normal text or figures. Control codes or graphic data may be corrupted due to the filtering of the "printer ignore character" specified by *FX6. *FX3,10 and *FX3,0 have a similar effect to these VDU commands.
