If you plan to print letters you've written or
graphs you've drawn with a software package,
first study your software's instructions for control-
ling printing
.
They will tell you how to obtain a
printed copy of what you've been working on
.
For example, lnfocom's "Hitchhiker's Guide to the
Galaxy" lets you print each step of your adven
-
ture. Waveform's Musicale 2 can print out a score
for you
.
Broderbund's Printshop lets you create
banners and other printer special effects.
Most computers use a standard numerical coding
system of characters called ASCII. Commodore
printers, however, use a different coding system
called Commodore ASCII. Since OKIMATE uses
Commodore ASCII, be sure to follow your
soft-
ware package's directions for Commodore print-
ers or Commodore ASCII. When you set up your
software package, select OKIMATE from its menu
of printer types. If OKIMATE is not listed, choose
COMMODORE ASCII, or Commodore printer
model 801, 802, or 1525.
Once you've set up your software package to op-
erate with OKIMATE, read your software instruc-
tions to find out how it controls the printer's
features, such as underlining. Software packages
