60LPRINT "WORK"

70LPRINT "CANCEL LINE";

80LPRINT CHR$(24);

90LPRINT "DOES NOT WORK"

Here is what this program will print:

The backspace codes in line 20 move the printhead a total of three spaces to the left so that the first part of line 30 will over- print the word “NOT”. The delete codes in line 50 “erase” the three letters in the word “NOT” so that it doesn’t even print.

In line 80, CHR$(24) deletes the words in line 70. The semicolon at the end of line 70 prevents a line feed from causing that line to print before the printer receives the CHR$(24) code. The text in line 90 prints as it normally would because it is after CHR$(24).

nPrinting zeroes

Believe it or not, there are two types of zeroes. There is of course the type we use every day - 0 - and this is what your printer will print if you don’t do anything.

The other type is used almost exclusively in computers and engineering. It is called the “slash zero” and is written like this -

0.The line through the number is supposed to prevent you from misreading it as the letter “0”. Back before high-quality printers were available, this was a good idea but you really have no need for it (although you may want to use the slash zero for special effect).

W Immediate-print

This printer can print at fine rate of 120 characters per se- cond. But it will also print more slowly at the speed of your typ- ing. In immediate-printmode, the printhead prints one character at a time, as you send it. This printer also moves the paper up so that you can see the current line and then down to continue printing.
