38.Sh NAME
39.Nm lp
40.Nd line printer
41.Sh SYNOPSIS
42.Cd "device lp0 at uba0 csr 0177514 vector lpintr"
43.Sh DESCRIPTION
44The
45.Nm lp
46device
47supports
48.Tn DEC
49and
50.Tn DEC
51compatible printers
52on the
53.Tn LP-11
54parallel interface.
55.Pp
56The unit number of the printer is specified by the minor device
57after removing the low 3 bits, which act as per-device parameters.
58Currently only the lowest of the low three bits is interpreted:
59if it is set, the device is assumed to have a 64-character set or
60.Pf half Tn -ASCII
61mode,
62rather than a full 96-character set.
63.Pp
64If the 64-character set is assumed,
65any lower case characters are mapped to upper case; left curly and
66right curly braces are mapped to left and right parentheses over
67laid with a hyphen; grave accents are mapped to acute accents
68with overlaid with a hyphen; the pipe bar character is mapped
69to an exclamation sign overlaid with a hyphen; and the tilde
70character is mapped to a carat overlaid with a hyphen.
71.Pp
72The default page width is 132 columns; longer lines are
73truncated.
74This may be overridden by specifying, for example,
75.Ql flags 256 .
