Don’t take this lesson lightly-it is a good example of how print modes interact on FX printers.

Pitch Mode Combinations

The previous three modes can’t be mixed, but the next mode can be used in combination with any one of them. And you can add it to a printout for either of two durations, for one print line or for a longer passage.

Expanded Mode

Expanded Mode doubles the width of the current pitch mode. Since it can be combined with all previous pitches, Expanded Mode doubles the number of available print pitches to six.

You can turn on the Expanded print feature for either of two dura- tions. If you activate it with CHR$(14), it turns off after each print line. If you want Expanded Mode to stay on line after line (continu- ously), you activate it with ESCape “W” followed by CHR$(1).

Also notice that ESCape “W” CHR$(1) is turned off with ESCape “W” CHR(0). CHR$(14), on the other hand, can be turned off either with CHR$(20) or with ESCape “W “CHR$(0).
