Word Processing with Radix
37
mal equivalent is
27 71.
Your Scripsit command would be entered
as
27 71.
By following this format, you can use any of the function
codes applicable to Radix as described in Appendix K.
The function codes for pica, elite and condensed width
pitches are expressed a bit differently than the rest. If you want to
request one of these three prints and you are changing from Near
Letter Quality (NLQ), the first codes
27 66 5
will turn NLQ off
before printing draft pica, elite or condensed
27 66 1 (2
or
3).
Notice that boldface is actually a combination of function
codes for defining double-strike and emphasized print. If you
want to use just double-strike as boldface, you can delete the codes
27 69
and
27 70
from sequences
5
and
6.
A sample printout with Scripsit
Let's look at a short example to demonstrate how pitch set-
tings and print control keys can be used in a document. The exam-
ple below shows the use of boldface and italic prints used in
combination with pica and elite pitch settings. Use your Scripsit
program hands-on and type the example below. (To get the "a"
symbol, use the CLEAR key on your keyboard).

The first recognition character @1 will start pica width pitch.
The second character @5 will turn on boldface print until
@6
turns it off. At the beginning of the paragraph, @2 starts elite
pitch. The second sentence is bracketed by the recognition char-
acters @" and @# which will turn italic print on and off. The last
code @O is the master reset code which will reinitialize the printer
to its default characteristics.
