Other special effects include superscripts, subscripts, and reverse
printing. Samples are shown below. Refer to Appendix B and see if you can
write a program that gives these effects. Reverse printing is available only
in Commodore mode. Reverse printing is hard on the print head, and should
not be continued for more than five consecutive lines.

PAGE FORMATTING
Page formatting means setting the page length, line spacing, and margins.
When you switch power on the page length is 11 or 12 inches depending
on DIP switch 3, the line spacing is 6 lines per inch, and there are no margins.
If you print on fanfold forms in this condition, the main problem is that
the printer will print from one page right across the perforations onto the
next page. When you separate the pages you will be left with printing ex-
tending from the top edge to the bottom edge of each page, and any lines
that were printed on the perforations will be split in half.
