SETTING LEFT AND RIGHT MARGINS

The left and right margins of this printer work just like a typewriter - once they are set all the printing is done between them. The commands to set the margins are given in the follow- ing table:

Table 4-6

Left and right margin commands

Try setting the margins with this program:

10' Demo of margins

20GOSUB 70

30LPRINT CHR$(27);"l";CHR$(lO);

40LPRINT CHR$(27);"Q";CHR$(70);

50GOSUB 70

60END

70FOR I=1 TO 80

80LFRINT "XI';

90NEXT I

100LPRINT

110RETURN

The first thing that this program does is to branch to the subroutine that starts in line 70 . This subroutine prints 80 X’s in a row. The first time that the subroutine is used, all the X’s fit in one line. Then line 30 sets the left margin to 10, and line 40 sets the right margin to 70. Once again the subroutine is used, but this time the X’s won’t all fit on one line since there is now only room for 60 characters between the margins.

Run the program. The results will look like this:

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx XxXXXXXXXxXXXXXxxxXXxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
