(Flush)

Mnemonic: (Flush)
Discussion: The (Flush) mnemonic causes any pending data retained by the spooler to be sent to the printer. This has the same affect as closing and reopening the printer, allowing for easier forms alignment. Previously, this was done automatically when no print data was sent for 2 seconds. However, this technique seemed to cause difficulty for some.
History: Support for this mnemonic was added in Build 294.

Note: Originally, the (Flush) mnemonic was intended for RAW printers. As of Build 323, the (Flush) mnemonic may also be used on non-RAW printers.

Example: 
a. 100 FORMAT (Flush)
   .
   OPEN (1) "LP1"
   .
   PRINT (1,100)


b. OPEN (1) "LP1"
   .
   PRINT (1) (Flush)
