Notice that you must use a lowercase p, not a capital P, for this mode. The next section describes Master Select, which includes another method for turning proportional on and off.

Master Select

The LQ has a special: ESCape code called Master Select that allows you to choose many possible combinations of nine different modes: pica, elite, proportional, condensed, emphasized, double-strike, double -width, italic, and underline. The format of the Master Select code is ESCape ‘!” followed by a number that is calculated by adding together the values of the modes listed below:

underline 128italic64 double-width 32 double-strike 16emphasized 8condensed 4proportional 2elite1pica0

For many combinations, just add up the values of each of the modes you want and use the total as the number after ESCape “!“. For exam- ple, to calculate the code for expanded underlined pica, add the following numbers together:
