Printing
Data According
to
a Previously
Defined Format: sa=1
A
secondat7 address
of
1
invokes the formatting
features
of
your
printer.
The
data
to
be
printed
is
arrayed according
to
a previously specified
format using sa=2.
If
you
should
transmit astring
of
data
when
sa=1
is
in
effect
and
there
is
no
formatting data
in
the
printer's
memory,
then
the
data
string
is
printed exactly as
it
is
received.
When
formatting
string
data
from
the
computer,
a
skip,
CHR$(29), must be
sent
to delimit
the
end
of
a
string
being
edited
to
a
field.
Leading
blanks
are stripped
off
a
string;
therefore, to
print
a
blank alpha
field
you must
transmit a
shifted blank,
CHR$(160).
The
alpha
field
is
then
right
padded
with blanks as
shown
below.
Example:
PRINT#1,"AAA

PRINT#2,"ABC"
