VisiCalc.
With these codes you can send any of Radix's function codes
through VisiCalc. If you select a different printing style than nor-
mal, you will have to enter it before printing each section of the
spreadsheet because VisiCalc resets the printer as it starts each
/Print command.
The most common codes are to change the print pitch, so the
following table shows how many print columns will fit on a page
with the various print pitches possible, and the codes to use to get
them. If you have a Radix-E, but are using 8% inch wide paper,
use the values for a Radix-lo.

Radix's features with VisiCalc, just by entering the proper codes
in the "Setup option to the /Print command.
