How the program works

This program begins by assigning a number of printer commands to BASIC string variables (lines 1000 to 1070). You can find most of these commands near the beginning of chapter 4.

The WIDTH “LPTI:” 255 statement in line 1090 means infinite line width. It prevents the IBM-PC from inserting unwanted carriage returns and line feeds in graphics data.

Actual printing begins in line 1100. Using the preassigned commands, the

program prints samples of its different font styles, followed by samples of the print pitches, then some double and quadruple-sized printing.
