For the following commands that use only 0 or 1 for the variable, either the ASCII cocks 1 and 0 or the characters 1 and 0 can be used:

ESC S, ESC U, ESC X, ESC W, ESC S, ESC- , and ESC %

For example, in BASIC you can turn on double-wide with either of these statements:

LPRINT CHR$(27);"W";CHR$(1)

LPRINT CHR$(27);"W";"1"

The simplest type of command consists of a single character to be sent to the printer. For instance, to print in condensed mode the code format is:

ASCII code: S I

Decimal: 15

Hexadecimal: OF

More complex commands consist of two or more character codes. For example, to print in elite mode the code format is the following:

ASCII code:

ESC

M

n

Decimal:

27

77

n

Hexadecimal:

1B

4D

n

In this case n can be either 1 or 0, to begin or end elite printing. You can use either of the following commands to turn ON elite print from

BASIC:

LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(77);CHR$(1)

LPRINT CHR$(27);"M";CHR$(l)

A-2
