FORMAT LPRINT "R" and "C" switch between RS323 and Centronics printers.

"U" sends all characters to the printer as is so you can send epson 
control codes etc. whereas the default mode "E" translates them to the 
token string etc. This mode must be on to use LLIST otherwise everywhere 
there's a token it will send a single unprintable character to the printer.
