I Troubleshooting The Sample Programs - Epson FX-80 User Manual

Appendix I
Troubleshooting the Sample Programs
Problems in the Programs
This appendix can help you identify and resolve potential problem
areas in the sample programs. In programs where well known systems
are likely to encounter problems, we've referred you to this appendix.
We've elected to handle solutions to recurring problems here rather
than disrupt the flow of the tutorial for all users.
The entries in this appendix are keyed to specific programs in the
manual. In some cases, an alternate approach is suggested for a partic-
ular computer; in others, you are referred to Appendix H, which in..,
eludes a discussion of the major problem codes and examples of ways
to deal with them.

Apple systems use the CHR$(9) as a sort of escape code (called the
printer initialization code), but the FX-80 uses CHR$(9) to activate
horizontal tabs. To avoid a conflict of interest, Apple users must
change the printer initialization code. Try:
PR#l
PRINT CHR$(9);CHR$(1)
This makes CHR$(l) the new printer initialization code, which frees
CHR$(9) for horizontal tab duties.
