the width, CHR$(14). OKIMATE will double the
width of the current character size, printing only
half as many characters to the inch (from 5 to 8.5
characters per inch). OKIMATE will print these ex-
panded characters until you stop them with either
CHR$(129) or CHR$(15).

IMPORTANT: When two alternative codes appear as above, use the
first in Cursor Up (Uppercase/graphics), and the second in Cursor
Down (Uppercase/ lowercase) mode.
When you want a quick copy of your work for
editing, use draft print at 80 characters per sec-
ond (CPS). When you want to make a final, clean
copy of a letter or other document, use Near Let-
ter Quality print. It's not as fast as draft print, but
the results look more professional.
