Superscripts and subscripts

When you need to reference footnotes or write math formulas, your printer’s superscripts and subscripts will come in handy. Here’s a short program to illustrate how easy it is to use them:

NEW
10	LPRINT	“LOOK!	‘I;
20	LPRINT	CHR$(27)	CHR$(83)		CHR$(O);
‘SELECT		SUPERSCRIPT
30	LPRINT	“SUPERSCRIPTS		” ;
40	LPRINT	CHR$(27)	CHR$(84)		;
‘CANCEL		SUPERSCRIPT
50	LPRINT	“AND ‘I;
60	LPRINT	CHR$(27)	CHR$(83)		CHR$(l);
‘SELECT		SUBSCRIPT
70	LPRINT	“SUBSCRIPTS		II;
80	LPRINT	CHR$(27)	CHR$(84);
‘CANCEL		SUBSCRIPT
90	LPRINT	“ON ONE	LINE.”

Line spacing and reverse line feed

You learned about line spacing		and	how to		use escape codes to
adjust it in Section 5. It’s just as easy, you’ll find, to perform all of
these functions when programming in BASIC.
In the following program,	we show you			how	to use each of these		-
features; in addition, we’ll show you how to program your printer
to do a reverse line feed-a	useful	feature		if you ever create charts		-	--
and tables. When you run this program,			watch		the platen as the last
statement comes up, to verify reverse line feed:

NEW

10 LPRINT CHR$(27) CHR$(48);

20 LPRINT “THIS COMMAND SETS THE LINE SPACING”

30 0LPRINT “TO 1/8TH INCH,THE EURROPEAN STANDAR

,“8 LPRINT		CHR$(27)	CHR$(49)
50	LPRINT	“NOW THE	LINE	WILL BE	TOUCHING.THIS”
60	LPRINT	“LINE SPACING		IS SET	TO l/lOTH	INCH.
I,
70	LPRINT	CHR$(27)	CHR$(50)
