If you select near letter quality, the character box is the same size but now has 16 (high) x 23 (wide)dot positions. Each dot is represented by two adjacent sharp signs,occupyingits own position and the position to the right. This reflectsthe fact that the printer still cannot print horizontally adjacent dots, but that even skipping every other dot, the dots appear joined when printed.

Anear-letter-quality character is represented by 46 bytes of dot data, two bytes for each column. Near-letter-quality characters are printed in two passesof the print head, the paper scrollinghalf a dot up between the passes. The first 23 bytes of dot data represent the first pass; the next 23 bytes represent the second pass. In each column the first, third, fifth, ... dots belong to the first-pass byte and the second, fourth, sixth, ... dots belong to the second-passbyte.

A maximum of 78 near-letter-quality characters can be defined.

The file created by this program contains the following printer com- mands:

1.<Esc > “:” <() > <()> <()> (standard mode) or < Fs > “:” <0>

<() > <0>

(IBM mode) to COpythe printer’s regular characters into

download memory. If you leave a download character undefined, the

regular character will be printed.

3.One < ESC > “&” <O> <cc> <cc> <a> < pl > ... command for each character defined. <cc> is the character code, < a > is the attribute byte, and <PI > ... are the 11 (draft) or 46 (near letter quality) bytes of dot data. This program uses only the most significant bit of the at- tribute byte. It does not set the other bits, which are concerned with proportional spacing.

This program is coded in Microsoft BASIC for IBM-PC. The WIDTH 255 command in line 1010 means infinite line width and prevents the computer from inserting unwanted line feeds in the character data. Some versionsof BASIC do not need the WIDTH command. Check your BASIC manual and make any changes necessary.
