Summary of DiHerences between
the FX-80 and the MX Graftrax Plus
Features New to the FX-80
Elite Pitch
The FX-80 sports a 12 character-per-inch (cpi) Elite pitch which
matches the Elite font used on many typewriters.
Reverse Line Feed
(ESC) "j" activates a reverse line feed of n/2l6 inch at the location
of the print head when the code is received. Neither this command nor
the (ESC)
"r
(forward line feed) returns the carriage to the left; each
moves only in the current column.
Proportional Spacing
Proportional spacing on the FX-BO strips off the excess space be-
tween Pica characters for letter-quality printing. Proportional charac-
ters are printed in Emphasized Mode.
Selecting the Printer
With Switch 2-1 off, you can "select" or tum on printing with
CHR$(17) (DCl) and "deselect" or tum off printing with CHR$(19)
(DC3). When the printer is in deselected mode, all output is ignored.
User-Definable Characters
The FX-BO allows you to design your own characters and store
them in a special area of RAM. These characters can be used in lieu of
or in combination with the standard FX-80 character set. (There is a
provision for copying the standard ROM characters into RAM so that
you can redefine only a few characters if you choose. This feature is
ideal for creating special character fonts or unique symbols.)
