When you run this program you should get this:
This line is SEKI-CONDENSED
pitch,
This
line
is
ELITE
pitch.
This
line
is
PICA
pitch
(normal).
Line 20 turns on semi-condensed
pitch with (ESC) "g". Line
30 prints the line at 15 characters
per inch.
Line 40 turns on elite
pitch with (ESC)
"M", and line 50 prints
the line at 12
characters per inch. The (ESC) "P" in line 60 resets the printer
to pica pitch and line 70 prints
the line in pica pitch.
n Expanded
print
Each of the print pitches
can be enlarged
to twice its normal
width.
This is called expanded
print. Try this program
to see
how it works:

Notice
that
EXPANDED

of
a
line.
Expanded print set with CHR$(14) is automatically
cancelled
at the end of the line. This is convenient
in many applications,
such as for one line titles. Note that you didn't need to put an
(ESC) in front of the CHR$(14), although
(ESC)
CHR$(14)
works just the same.
You can also cancel one line expanded print before a carriage
