Printer Control Codes Descriptions
The following pages list, in alphabetic order, the printer
control codes with a description of each. Some
knowledge of BASIC programming or how to insert
printer control codes in your program is necessary to
properly use these codes. An example of each code in
BASIC is at the end of each description. The "Format"
information is given where more information is needed
for programming considerations.
Note: All combinations of printing qualities,
character spacings, and printing types are valid. For
example, you can print in emphasized print,
double-width, and underline all at the same time.
