9. BASIC HINTS ON CORRECT USE
(1)
Do not print
characters
without
using
ribbon,
other-
wise,
the head pins
will
be
damaged.
(2) Use the
ribbon
cartridge
designed [or exclusive use in
the PC-8023A·C.
(3) Replace the
ribbon before
it
becomes threadbare
from excessive
use.
(4) Use only the specified
paper.
(5) Care
must
be exercised to
prevent foreign
objects
such as clips,
pins,
etc.
[rom falling into
the
printer
since
they
may cause
problems .
10. CONTROL OF THE PC.s023A-C USING NBASIC
The PC-8023A·C is
controlled
by the
control
codes from
the
PC-SOOIA, i.e., the PC-8023A-C
can
be
controlled
using
the
LPRlNT
statement of
NBASle. This section describes
the
types of statements available
in NBASIC for
controlling
the printer. Observe
the operation of the
PC-8023A·C when
executing each step. (Place the PC8023A-C
in the
selected
state.
Since the
PC-8023A·C
is a programmable printer, it is
recommended that a
power-on reset
should
be performed
the
printing not be executed
as expected,
due, for
example, to
an incorrect
command.)
<
Reference
>
Since
the statement
LPRINT
CHR$(&HXX)
is frequently
used
to send control
codes
to
the printer via the PC-BOOlA,
this statement
may
be entered
beforehand in a function
key for
convenience
in
subsequent
processing.
Example:
To enter
"LPRINT CHR$(&HIB);"
in function key I,
perform
the
following: Input &HIB as decimal
code
27
(due to the
limitation
on the
number
of characters that can
be entered).
