Programming DEC LQP02/LQP03 printers

Could anyone help me out by looking up some programming information for
a DEC LQP02 or LQP03, please? I'm working from an LN03 manual that
happens to mention that the following control sequences exist on
letter-quality printers, but it doesn't give details.

I'd like to know how to invoke:

DECFIL (Right Justification)
DECFPP (Positioning)
DECPSPP (Print Specified Printwheel Position)
DECPTS (Printwheel Table Select)
DECSS (Set Space Size)
DECUND (Programmable Underline Character)

While I'm on the subject, I see that the Terminals and Printers Handbook
1983-84 entry for the LQP02 says that it prints "32 char/s
(letter-quality, Shannon text)". Does "Shannon text" mean anything to
anyone?

Cheers,
Paul
