this feature only when pica (1 0 CPI) or expanded

matically at the end of a line. If you want more
than one line in reverse print, keep adding
CHR$(18) at the beginning of each new line.

tons on your keyboard affect what you see on
the screen, but not what is printed .

Top of Page and Page Length
When you turn on OKIMATE, the top-of-page po-
sition is set automatically at the point where the
printhead touches the paper. If you're using com -
puter paper, you might want to set the top of
page position at the perforation between pages.
OKIMATE will start printing one-half inch below
the top-of -page position.
At the factory, OKIMATE's page length is set to
11 inches. If you want to change it to 12 inches,
see page A-4.
