This command would select italic proportional print. In BASIC, the same command would look like this:

LPRINT CHR$(27) “!” CHR$(66);

You can make up your own combinations quite easily. This is possible because each print style has its own value you can use with the Master Select command. To create a “custom” Master Select Code, add the values of the print styles you wish to com- bine. The values of the print styles are as follows:

Elite

1

Proportional

2

Compressed

4

Emphasized

8

Expanded

32

Italic

64

Underlined

128

For example, if you want to find the code for elite emphasized italic print you would add these values:

Elite

1

Emphasized

8

Italic

64

 

73

The Master Select Command you would use would look like this:

<ESC> “!” 73 (in BASIC: CHR$(27) “!” CHR$(73);)

Note:

Proportional overrides pica/elite. Compressed works only in draft print.

Some of the more popular styles the SQ-2000 can produce are shown on the next four pages. The number following each example is the ASCII code (decimal) which will select that particular print style.

Proportional print styles are shown first. These styles are available in both the letter quality and draft sets. The next page shows the printing styles that are available in the letter quality set. The final two pages show the printing styles that are available in the draft set.
