line "condensd" (without the quotes) and change the character
pitch to
17
and the line spacing to 6. To make the subject title
expanded, use the ALT and = keys (in the line mode) to highlight
the line.
Now, change the pitch setting in the next line to pica by set-
ting a new ruler line: Ruler Name - pica; Character Pitch -
10.
Use
the print control key S (for italic) to highlight the second sentence
in the paragraph. Move the cursor to the "E" in "Enclosed" and
(in the sentence mode) use the ALT and S keys to highlight the
sentence. (You'll have to press S twice to get the .67.)
At the end of the document, reinitialize the printer to its
default settings with a new ruler line using the Master Reset code.
Ruler Name - reset; Character Pitch - 2.
Print the document. Your printout should look like this:

The subject title will print in expanded condensed characters
which are twice the width as standard condensed characters. The
sentence in the paragraph is printed in italic pica print. The last
ruler line will reinitialize the printer. (See the general concepts
section of this chapter for more details on master reset.) This is
just one example, however, you should be able to apply most of the
function codes to the setup used here.
Redefining your own print pitches
If you want to define a new print pitch (Edit Pitch Table), be
sure to start the sequence with the code 27 66 5. This code tells the
printer to turn off near letter quality print. Then enter your func-
tion code to choose the print you want. By not using the function
code 27 66 5 first, the printer will continue to print near letter
quality.
For example, if you found yourself frequently using italic
print for large blocks of text in pica width pitch, you can combine
italic and pica pitch to define italic pica and use it in the ruler line
of your document. The ASCII code sequence would be
27 66 5 27
66 1 27 52
which would print italic pica pitch.
