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


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


{{PageParameters}}
* Literal or variable [[STRING]] ''text$'' can be placed between [[LPRINT]] and USING or it can be included in the {{Parameter|template$}}.
* A [[semicolon]] or [[comma]] may follow the {{Parameter|text$}} to stop or tab the print cursor before the {{Parameter|template$}} [[LPRINT]].
* The literal or variable [[STRING]] {{Parameter|template$}} should use the template symbols to display each variable [[Variable Types|type]] in the list following it.
* The list of data ''variables'' used in the {{Parameter|template$}} 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.


{{PageDescription}}
* The ''variable'' list 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.
