A few installation programs may ask you not to select a printer but to

describe what your printer can do. The answers to the most often asked

questions are: Yes, this printer can do a backspace; and Yes, it can do a

hardware form feed.

Selecting (or describing) a printer is the main step in the installation

process and frequently the only step necessary. If you selected this printer

or any Star, Epson or IBM printer you should be able to use software

commands for all the standard printer functions, including bold or dou-

ble-strike printing, underlining, subscripts, superscripts, margin control,

line-spacing control, and graphics.

Printer command options

Besides the standard printer functions, however, your printer has some

capabilities your software may not be aware of, including double- and

quadruple-size printing and the printing of special characters assigned to

control codes. Some software enables you to define these capabilities as user

options in the installation process. Read your software manual to find out

whether you can do this and if so, how.

The most useful thing you can do is to define a way to enter the escape

code < ESC > , which is the control character with decimal character code

27 (hexadecimal 1 B). This code usually cannot be keyed in directly (pressing

the ESC key will not work). As an installation option, however, you may

be able to assign it to a function key or a special key combination. Doing

so will put the full power of the printer at your disposal.

Type styles

Some word-processing software has commands that enable you to

change type styles in the middle of a document without a printing pause.

To use these commands you must generally define the printer’s type styles

(font,? during installation, by assigning them numbers for example. Read

your so&are manual for details, and refer to Appendix B for the relevant

printer commands.

Page width

Spreadsheet programs in particular may ask you to specify the printer’s

column width. The column width of this printer depends on the character

pitch used:

Pica

80 columns

Elite

96 columns

Condensed pica

137 columns

Condensed elite

160 columns (Standard mode only)

1 2 ... 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 ... 122 123
