The subject title prints in boldface pica. The entire paragraph
prints in elite pitch but with the second sentence as italic charac-
ters. And although you do not see it happen, the printer is reset by
the code @O. (See the general concepts section of this chapter for
more details on Master Reset.)
This is just one example, but you should be able to apply most
of the function codes to the setup used here. A note about under-
lining: with Scripsit, Radix will underline the spaces designated
for the left margins of each line. You will have to enter the control
codes at the beginning and end of each line to turn underlining on
and off.
Redefining your own print codes
If you want to define a new print pitch, 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 function code to
choose the pitch you want. Otherwise, if you change pitches in a
document from near letter quality to draft, the function code
alone (in the printer driver) will continue to print near letter
quality.
For example, if you found yourself frequently using italic
print for large blocks of text in pica 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. Remember, you can
enter up to 11 codes for each User Print Code.
Also, keep in mind that recognition characters can be com-
bined in your document to print, for instance, italic and under-
line. Simply enter the two codes before the text. With
italic-underline, the codes would be @"@I to turn it on and @#@!
to turn it off.
