Entering special jbnction codes
When you want to enter a code to perform a special print
function, you must first enter the PeachText command, 1 OUT.
Then, enter the decimal values relating to the ASCII code for each
function you want performed. The statement is closed by using
the \ symbol.
Each value must be separated by a comma. For example, a
valid statement would be 1
OUT27,69
1. If the function code you
want is expressed in more than one ASCII character, you must
use a comma between each decimal value. To select elite pitch, for
example, the ASCII code is (ESC) "B"
2.
The PeachText state-
ment would read 1
OUT27,66,2
1.
Different print combinations can be combined within one
statement. In these cases, you need to use the escape code for each
function. For example, to select double-strike and emphasized
print at once, the PeachText statement is
1 OUT27,71,27,69
1
where
27,71
selects double-strike print and
27,69
selects empha-
sized print.
When you enter these codes in your document, they will
appear on the display screen, but they will not print out on paper.
The characters do not take up any hard space when printed. Your
first character of text will actually print in the first space where
the command begins (on the screen).
When you start using these codes on your own, you should
turn to Appendix K in this manual to look up the printer function
you want. To enter the codes into PeachText, simply use the deci-
mal values in the format previously described. Let's take an exam-
ple.
Say you want to change to near letter quality characters. The
function code as shown in Appendix K is (ESC) "B"
4.
The deci-
mal equivalent is
27 66 4.
Your PeachText command would be
entered as 1
OUT27,66,4
1. By following this format, you can use
any of the function codes applicable to Radix as described in
Appendix K.
