When you turn on expanded print with (ESC) “W” CHR$(l) it stays on until you turn it off with (ESC) “W” CHR$(O). That’s what we added line 30 for.

By combining expanded print with the three pitches, Delta has six different character widths available.

Enter this program to see how the print pitches and expanded print can be combined:

18LPRINTCHR$(llt)"EXPANDEDPICA PITCH" 2@ LPRINTCHR$(27)"B" CHR$(2)

38LPRINTCHR$(14)"EXPANDEDELITE PITCH"

48LPRINTCHR$(27)"B" CHR$(j)

58LPRINTCHR$(14)"EXPANDEDCONDENSEDPITCH" 6@ LPRINTCHR$(27)"B" CHR$(l)

79LPRINT "NOW WE ARE BACK TO UNEXPANDEDPICA PRINTING"

Here’s what you should get from this program:

EXF19NREDELITE PITCH

EXPANDED CONDENSED PITCH

NOW WE ARE BACK TQ UNEXF’ANDED PICA PRINTING

Delta has very good print density when it’s just printing regu- larly. But sometimes you may want something to stand out from the rest of the page. Delta provides two ways to do this: double- strike and emphasized print. Both of these go over the characters
