This is likely mentioned for compatibility w/41 programs which used this mode to print to the 82162A IL Printer, to act the same when printing to the 82240A/B IR Printer.

This mode was intended as a debugging aid, when there were few other choices, but it uses up paper at prodigious rates and ultimately not used often, though a few folks in the PPC Journal insisted it was "the only way to properly debug a program", apparently forgetting about paper and pencil...

I can check this later on DM42 if curious...
