Star Micronics LC24-15 user manual FOR I=0 TO 20 LPRINT CHR$I 30 NEXT 40 LPRINT 50 END

The following BASIC program is a simple test you can run in hexadecimal mode:

10 FOR I=0 TO 255

20 LPRINT CHR$(I);

30 NEXT I

40LPRINT

50 END

If your system passes the codes directly to the printer without changing them, you will get a printout like Figure 2-4.
