using these options. If your spreadsheet asks the number of columns
your printer can print, decide which mode you will use and supply the
appropriate number from this table.

Unlike word processors, spreadsheet programs usually don't let you
change printer commands within a spreadsheet. Instead, one style or
mode of printing is used for the whole spreadsheet. With the FX, there
are two main ways of sending commands to control the printing of a
spreadsheet. The first method is to choose condensed from the SelecType
control panel.
For the second method, look in the manual for your spreadsheet to find
out how to send printer commands. Then look in the Command
Summary in Chapter
For example, your spreadsheet might use a "setup string" to send printer
commands. To prepare a setup string for 12 cpi condensed, you would
look up the proper command in the Command Summary. The command
for cpi is ESC M, and the command for condensed is SI. Because most
12
spreadsheets use the decimal equivalent for the commands, (also given in
the Command Summary), a setup string for 12 cpi condensed might look
like this:
The number
027
(condensed).
Note: It is not recommended to use double strike or overprinting
to obtain bold printing. Instead, use the emphasized mode. (See
ESC E in the Command Summary.) It may be necessary to
modify your software to use ESC E for bold printing. See your
software manual for more information.
