Mixing Print Modes with Download Characters

It’s possible to get even more printing effects by combining

download characters with the various print modes available with

Delta. Most of the commands that you learned in Chapter 3 work

with normal width download characters as well as standard char-

acters. A few of them will work with proportional download char-

acters as well. Table 7-3 summarizes the various print modes and

their compatibility with download characters.
