Ticket Program - Epson FX-80 User Manual

With continuous-feed paper, use the plastic paper separator to make
sure that the incoming paper is separate from the outgoing paper.
Check that it does not double back through and jam the feed mecha-
nism. Remove all obstacles from the paper path so that the paper feeds
freely.
If you're using single sheets, the "paper out" beeper will sound unless
you shut it off via the internal switches. The switches are located un-
der the upper right vent. (See Appendix K.)
3. Turn the printer and computer on, and load a BASIC program.
Then send a listing to the printer (using LLIST, PR#l, or whatever
your computer's LLIST command is). You should get a single-spaced
listing. If the printout is double-spaced or printed without line spac-
ing, change internal switch 2-4. Note that switches must be set with
the power off.
Ticket Program
If you've gotten this far without turning to Chapter 1 for directions,
then you are probably anxious to see what your printer can do. Type
in the demo program for a ticket which is shown as Figure Easy-I.
This program will unleash the wild beast in your FX-80. (If you lost us
somewhere, don't worry, you haven't missed a thing. Go on ahead to
Chapter 1 and we'll catch up with you there.) Now RUN it to see if
you get the result shown in Figure Easy-2.
