Master Print Mode Select
With all the nice looking print types we've covered up to this point,
you're probably anxious to start experimenting with different print
combinations. Well, here's your chance.
The FX-80 has a way for you to select certain print mode combina-
tions by number. This Master Print Mode Select feature (Master Select
for short) makes it easy to use exactly the mode you want. Here is how
it works. (ESC)"!" activates the Master Select in this format:
LPRINT CHR$(27)"!"CHR$(n)
The n can be any number from 0 through 255, although not every
number produces a different combination.
The program shown as Figure 5-1 prints out all of the unique print
modes available with the (ESC)"!".
