We suggest you do three things. First, you should review
Chapter 4 and Appendix C to become as familiar as possible
with ASCII codes and the function codes.
Second, read Chapter 4 which describes them in greater detail
and shows examples of how they are used in BASIC pro-
gramming. The functions will, for the most part, act the same
in your word processing program. Understanding what’s
available and how they perform will help you use them correctly
in your documents.
And third, follow the procedures in this chapter and your
program User’s Manual.
You may want to experiment with expanded text in com-
bination with other print types. You can create some great
looking results with these functions. If you are unsure of any
functions, review them first, then try some of your own samples.
USING THE PRINTER WITH EASYWRITER II
(Note: If you have not read the “General Concepts” section
in this chapter, you should do so before continuing.)
This printer can be used with most of the standard print
functions available with your EasyWriter II word processing
program. These functions require no special adjustments to
the printer or your program. They include:
1. Printing from the Print List Form screen.
2. Setting margins, tabs and lines per inch in the ruler
line of your document. (The pitch settings, however,
should be adjusted to obtain maximum use. They
will be discussed later in this chapter.)
3. Print settings in the System Parameter function
which are either default or new settings edited by
you.
You can also redefine the print functions of EasyWriter II
to take advantage of many of the printing capabilities of your
printer. You may already be familiar with reconfiguring the
printer driver from Appendix B of your EasyWriter II IJser’s
Manual. If not, don’t be nervous; it’s not as hard as it sounds.
. We will show you how to make changes in your program
specifically to help you print with this printer.
