at twice their normal width.
The VisiCalc print command
After you’ve designed your spreadsheet and entered all the nec-
essary information, you print with the VisiCalc /P command. As
described in the software manual, this command is used to delineate
the size of the spreadsheet (or section of the whole), from the active
cell in the upper left-hand corner to the boundary you will choose
in the lower right-hand corner.
Normally, when you plan a very large printout-one that wouldn’t
fit on a single page-other printers would require you to divide the
spreadsheet into separate segments, each with a separate printing
operation. But with condensed print mode, you’ll be able to fit an
entire 132-column report on a single 8 inch-wide sheet of paper!
n SUPERCALC Another popular spreadsheet, SuperCalc allows you to easily use
all of your printer’s advanced features. When you have completed
the design of your SuperCalc spreadsheet, you can get to the
SuperCalc setup mode by typing /O (for “output”). Next you’ll type
D followed by the word ALL.; this tells SuperCalc to print the report
exactly as it appears on the screen.
The SuperCalc setup codes
To get to the setup menu, press the return key and type S; when
the setup menu appears, again press S (for “manual setup codes”).
You can now send escape codes and control codes to the printer
exactly as they appear in Appendix A. Table 3-2 illustrates your op-
tions in the draft-quality mode (for more on SuperCalc setup codes,
please see the software manual).

at twice their normal width.
SuperCalc automatically prints as much of your spreadsheet as
will fit on a page; any material in excess of the page limit will be
printed on additional pages.
