Gemini Industries Printer user manual Foreign Language Characters, Some Characters for French

GEMINI’S FULL RANGE OF

PRINTING CAPABILITIES

This chapter builds on the foundation of Chapters 5 and 6 and demonstrates how you can put Gemini to work for you.

As with the other chapters, this one presents programs written in Microsoft BASIC for the IBM-PC. If you have an Apple, Atari, Commodore, Osborne, or TRS-80, you should consult the Appendices for those computers at the back of this manual. If you have a computer other than one of those just mentioned, look in the appendix of the computer most like the one you have. To learn more about running programs in BASIC, consult the user’s manual for your computer.

This chapter begins with a discussion of using Gemini’s expanded character set. The middle of this chapter considers low- resolution graphics, with sample programs. Chapter 7 concludes with some tips on producing high-resolution graphics.

FOREIGN LANGUAGE CHARACTERS

Gemini can converse in the English language, as well as in most of the Romantic languages (French, Spanish, Italian, German, etc.). By the way, the “Romantic” languages are so-named because of the Latin influence of the Romans, not because vacationing Americans find the European locals amorously irresistable. Swedish and Danish are also available.
