specifying the
hex
code, use 009F. The
first
two
zeros are ignored
by
the printer but
counted by
Scripsit.)
Suppose
that
you
define
the
letter
W
to
be
the
ohms
symbol. The sample
screen below,
shows
the Printer Control Codes
display with the
letters
V
and
W
defined
for the
TRANSLATE
Sequence and
the
ohms
symbol
respectively.
Having
defined the
two
Print Control
Cod
es,
yo
u
can go
into
a
Scripsit
file
and whenever
the
ohms
symbol
is
desired,
simply
press
(CTRP fXl and
CD,
the Print Control Character
to
enable
the special characters
(it is
only necessary
to
enable
the special characters
once).
Then
press the
tCTRLjQD
plus CD,
the Print Control Character
for the
ohms
symbol.
For example,
in the sentence:
The Sreek letter
o
m

Ti
,
has come
to
represent
resistance
- a
basic measurement
of
opposition
to
the flow
of
current
in
any
electronic circuit.
you
can send
the
TRANSLATE
sequence anywhere
before
the
ohms
symbol
is
sent.
Remember
that
nothing
is
p
rinted
when
the
TRANSLATE
sequence
is
sent.
Then
to
send
the
ohms
symbol,
just type

Using
PTC-64
Functions
In the
same
way
that special
characters are defined
in the Printer Control Codes, you
may
use
the
PTC-64's
other functions
(CLEAR, COPY, PAUSE,
and
Controls
ON/OFF).
We'll use the
PAUSE
function
as
an example:
When
the
PAUSE
sequence
is
used from
a Scripsit
file,
printing will stop temporarily
until
the
PAUSE
key on
the
PTC-64
front panel
is
pressed.
