Lprint CHR$I Next | Star Micronics NX-1000 specs

The following BASIC program is a simple test you can run in hexade- cimal mode:

10 FOR I-O TO 255

20LPRINT CHR$(I);

30NEXT I

40LPRINT

50END

If your system passes the codes directly to the printer without changing them, you will get a printout like Figure 2-5.

Most BASICS, however, are not quite that straightforward. For example, the IBM-PC prints the following.
