When you run this program you should get this:
This line is NORMAL ELITE printing.
This line is PROPORTIONAL ELITE.
This line is PROPORTIONAL PICA.
This line is NORMAL PICA printing.
Line 20 selects the elite pitch and line 40 turns on the propor-
tional printing with (ESC) "p"
1.
Line 50 prints a line with pro-
portional elite pitch.
Then, line 60 selects the pica pitch, so that
line 70 prints a line with proportional pica pitch. Finally,line 80
resets the proportional printing and line 90 prints a line in nor-
mal pica pitch.
NOTE: 1) You cannot use the proportional
spacing with the
draft characters.
2) When you set the "Print Pitch Panel" mode by the Print Pitch
key on the control panel at power-on, these control codes
related print pitches except expand print mode are ignored.
