Star Micronics LC24-15 user manual

If you want to print a title in double-size Script, then change to regular-size Courier for some text that includes italics, you can use these commands as follows:

File as seen on computer screen:

t(P))4		c(S))3
Printer		Commands
t(F))0		t(S))0
Font	style,		size,	bold	print,	and
((1))lItalic			((1))Ocommands			can be embedded
((1))lanywhere				((1))Oin	a document.
Printout:

Font style, size, bold print, and

Italic commands can be embedded

anywhere in a document.

When you use these commands there are several points to note:

•The font style ((F)) and italic ((I)) commands are ignored if the (STYLO button was held down when power was switched on.

. A line consisting of commands alone prints as a blank line.

•Software does not know that these commands are commands, so you

cannot trust your software to give you the correct line width. The printed ‘line may he considerably shorter than the line on the screen; the missing space is the space that was occupied by the commands.

One way to handle the last problem is to prepare your document without the commands, then insert them as a final step, with the margins released. The find, replace, and copy functions of word-processing software can he helpful here.

If you do not use these commands or the panel controls, the printer will print standard-size, draft, non-hold, non-italic characters.
