B8 B9 | Star Micronics NX-2400 specification

If your system passes the codes directly to the printer without changing them, you will get a printout like Figure 2-3.

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

Figure 2-4. Sample hexadecimal dump with IBM-PC

When

the

IBM-PC BASIC

interpreter

sends hex code OD (carriage re-

turn)

it

adds

an

extra

hex OA (line

feed).

Hex

code

IA (end-of-file)

also

gets

-

--

special

treatment:

the

interpreter

does

not

send

it at all.

This

can

cause

-

problems

in

programs

that

generate

graphics

or

download

character

data,

but

there

is

a

solution.

Try

changing

line

20

in the

preceding

program

and

adding the coding shown below.

Coding for IBM-PC with monochrome display:

20 GOSUB 100
