The [[LPRINT USING]] statement sends formatted data to LPT1, the parallel port printer.


{{PageSyntax}}
:: '''LPRINT''' [''text$''{;|,}] '''USING ''template$''; ''variable'''''[; ...][{;|,}]


{{Parameters}}
* Literal or variable [[STRING]] ''text$'' can be placed between [[LPRINT]] and USING or it can be included in the ''template''.
* A [[semicolon]] or [[comma]] may follow the ''text'' to stop or tab the print cursor before the ''template'' [[LPRINT]].
* The literal or variable [[STRING]] ''template'' should use the template symbols to display each variable [[type]] in the list following it.
* The list of data ''variables'' used in the ''template'' are '''separated by semicolons''' after the template string value. 
* A [[semicolon]] or [[comma]] may follow the variable list to stop or tab the print cursor for pending prints.


''Usage:''
* The ''variables'' should be listed in the order that they are used in the template from left to right.
* '''If the ''template'' string is omitted or symbols don't match the ''variable(s)'' an "Illegal Function Call" [[ERROR Codes|ERROR]] will occur!'''
* No more than 25 # digit places are allowed in a template number or an [[ERROR Codes|error]] will occur.
* Can convert numerical exponential or [[scientific notation]] values to normal decimal point values using less digits.
* '''NOTE:''' If the numerical value exceeds the template's digit range a % symbol will appear in the leftmost digit area.
