Star Micronics NB24-10/15 When you run this program you should get this, Expanded print

55

When you run this program you should get this:

This line is SEKI-CONDENSEDpitch,

This line is ELITE pitch.

This line is PICA pitch (normal).

Line 20 turns on semi-condensed pitch with (ESC) “g”. Line 30 prints the line at 15 characters per inch. Line 40 turns on elite pitch with (ESC) “M”, and line 50 prints the line at 12 characters per inch. The (ESC) “P” in line 60 resets the printer

to pica pitch and line 70 prints the line in pica pitch.

nExpanded print

Each of the print pitches can be enlarged to twice its normal width. This is called expanded print. Try this program to see

how it works:

10 ’ Demo of expanded print
20	LPRINT		“Demonstration		of	I’;
30	LPRINT		CHR$(14);
40	LPRINT		“EXPANDED”;
50	LPRINT		CHR$(20);
60	LPRINT		”	printing.	”
70	LPRINT		“Notice that		” ;
80 LPRINT CHR$(14);
90	LPRINT		“EXPANDED mode”
100	LPRINT			“automatically	turns		off	at the	end
	of	a line.”
Demonstration				of EXPANDED				printing.
Notice		that		EXPANDED				mode
automatically				turns	off	at	the	end	of a line.

Expanded print set with CHR$(14) is automatically cancelled at the end of the line. This is convenient in many applications, such as for one line titles. Note that you didn’t need to put an (ESC) in front of the CHR$(14), although (ESC) CHR$(14) works just the same.

You can also cancel one line expanded print before a carriage
