CHAPTER 3 PROGRAMMING
Now that you are familiar with the outside of the printer, you can
begin printing documents using the "default settings" of the pritner,
that is, the kind of printing your ML182/183 is set up to do when
you turn it on:
Utility mode*
10 characters per inch
6 lines per inch
Horizontal tabs at every 8th character
Vertical tabs at l-inch intervals
This may be all you ever need.
If you plan to print tables, charts, graphics, or documents with in­
dented text, subscripts, superscripts, etc., however, you should read
this chapter to learn how and when to use the special printing
features.
Fi rst, here are the avai lable pri nti ng options:
Carriage Return: If your computer does not automatically add
a carriage return at the end of a line, you
may add one to your program.
Unidirectional Printing: With this method, characters are printed
from left to right, which is useful for tables
and charts where exactness counts.
Horizontal Tabs:
Sets tabs at predetermined intervals; perfect
for accounting reports, tables, and charts.
Left Margin Set:
Changes the left margin for indented text.
Li ne Spaci ng: Gives you a choice of 6 or 8 lines per inch.
Formatting: Adjusts printing to a particular paper size,
controls the line where printing begins, and
automatically advances the paper when less
than 1 inch remains at the bottom of a
page. See skip over perforation function.
*:
NLQ mode will be selected by pushing FORM FEED switch during power-up.
