n Condensed
print
Each of the print pitches also can be condensed
to its normal
width. This is called condensed
print. Try this program to see
how it works:
10 ' Demo of condensed
pitch
20 LPRINT "Demonstration of ";
30 LPRINT CHR$(15);
40 LPRINT "CONDENSED";
50 LPRINT CHR$(lS);
60 LPRINT w printing."
Demonstration
of
CONDENSED
printing.
Condensed
print set with CHR$(15) stays on until you turn it
off with CHR$( 18). Note that you don't need to put an (ESC) in
front of the CHR$( 15), although
(ESC) CHR$( 15) works just
the same.

By combining
expanded
print and condensed
print with the
two pitches, this printer has eight different
character
widths
available.
Enter this program
to see how the print pitches,
expanded
print and condensed
print can be combined:
10 ' Demo of various print pitches
20 LPRINT CHR$(15);
30 LPRINT CHR$(27);"M";
40 LPRINT "This line is CONDENSED ELITE pitch."
50 LPRINT CHRS(27);"P";
60 LPRINT "This line is CONDENSED PICA pitch."
70 LPRINT CHR$(lB);
80 LPRINT CHR$(27);"M";
90 LPRINT "This line is NORMAL ELITE pitch."
