Skip-over-perforation
If you are using continuous-feed paper for printing program listings
or other material not controlled by an applications program, you may
find that the
FX-286
SelecType has a function to prevent this: skip-over-perforation.
If you press OFF LINE ten times, the
lines that it prints. Since a standard page is
60
one inch of blank space at the bottom of each page. If you prefer to
have half of the blank space at the top of the page and half at the
bottom, simply set your top-of-page approximately one-half inch be-
low the perforation. (See Step
your memory on setting top-of-page.)
SelecType Tips
Once you have learned the simple technique for controlling print
styles with SelecType, you can use it whenever you wish. You should
be aware of a few restrictions, however.
SelecType is designed to control the printing of an entire file or
l
document, not an individual line or word.
If you are using the NLQ mode, remember that the following
l
SelecType modes are not available in NLQ: italic, condensed,
double-strike, and elite.
Emphasized can't combine with condensed or elite.
l
Because a character cannot be in subscript and superscript at the
l
same time, these two modes obviously cannot be combined. If you
set both superscript and subscript, the
set.
If you wish to cancel SelecType functions, see "Cancelling Un-
l
wanted Functions with SelecType" in Appendix C.
Don't worry about harming your printer if you try to combine two
modes that the
FX-286
printer. If it receives codes for two modes that it can't combine, it uses
only one of them.
Although there are restrictions on combining some other modes,
underline and double-width can combine with any mode.
