Getting the most from your print choices
Radix User's Manual
After working with Radix for a while, you may find that you
want to add to or change some of the print functions we have
described in this chapter.
We suggest you do three things. First, you should review
Chapter 2 and Appendix K to become as familiar as possible with
ASCII codes and the Radix function codes.
Second, read Chapter 7 which describes them in greater
detail and shows examples of how they are used in BASIC pro-
gramming. The functions will, for the most part, act the same in
your word processing program. Understanding what's available
and how they perform will help you use them correctly in your
documents.
And third, follow the procedures in this chapter and your pro-
gram User's Manual.
You may want to experiment with expanded text in combina-
tion with other print types. You can create some great-looking
results with these functions. Also, try applying what you have
learned in this chapter to your own work while it is still fresh in
your mind. If you are unsure of any functions, review them first,
then try some of your own samples.
Using Radix with Easywriter II
(Note: If you have not read the "General Concepts" section at the
beginning of this chapter, you should do so before continuing.)
The Radix printer can be used with most of the standard print
functions available with your Easywriter II word processing pro-
gram. These functions require no special adjustments to the
printer or your program. They include:
1. Printing from the Print List Form screen.
2. Setting margins, tabs and lines per inch in the ruler line of your
document. (The pitch settings, however, should be adjusted to
obtain maximum use. They will be discussed later in this chap
ter.)
3. Print settings in the System Parameter function which are
either default settings or new settings edited by you.
You can also redefine print functions of Easywriter II to take
advantage of many of the printing capabilities of Radix. You may
already be familiar with reconfiguring the printer driver from
Appendix B of your Easywriter II User's Manual. If not, don't be
nervous; it's not as hard as it sounds. We will show you how to
