CHAPTER 5. PROPRINTER EMULATION

INTRODUCTION

The IBM Proprinter III XL emulation Is selected through the control panel. Printer option straps Proprinter Table (Appendix D) replace the applicable switches used on a Proprinter.

Although every effort has been made to make this printer functionally similar to the Proprinter, some differences do exist.

DIFFERENCES FROM PROPRINTER

▪Non-Proprinter fonts are available; however, proportional spacing line lengths may be different.

▪Download fonts are not available.

▪The Proprinter 20 cpi font is not available.

▪Bidirectional and unidirectional printing do not apply on this printer.

▪Double-width and double-height characters are slightly different.

▪240 dpi graphics are printed on a 120 dpi grid. Adjacent dots are OR'ed together. The aspect ratio of this printer (height vs. width of a graphic image) is identical to the Proprinter.

PROPRINTER CONTROL CODES

BEL

Bell: Sounds a momentary audible tone.

 

Decimal:

7

 

Hex:

07

 

BASIC:

CHR$(7);

BS

Backspace: Moves the print position one character to the left. This

 

code is normally used for overstriking a character. When the print

 

position is at the left margin, a received BS has no effect.

 

Decimal:

8

 

Hex:

08

 

BASIC:

CHR$(8);

CAN

Cancel: Causes all printable data received since the last line

 

terminator to be deleted. Print modes enabled since the last

 

terminator (other than double-width printing initiated by the SO

 

code) stay in effect. Example: If underlining was enabled during the

 

line, it will still be active for the next line received. The cancel control

 

code does not change the current print position.

 

Decimal:
