Star Micronics SG-15, SG-10 When you run this program you should get this, Lprint Expanded

30 LPRINT "This line is CONDENSED pitch."

48 LPRINT CHR$(27) "B" CHR$(2) ; 'Select elite pitch. 50 LPRINT "This line is ELITE pitch."

60 LPRINT CHR$(27) "p" CHR$(l) ; 'Select proportional. 717~LPRINT "This line is PROPORTIONAL spacing."

80 LPRINT CHR$(27) "p" CHR$(@) ; 'Cancel proportional. 90 LPRINT CHR$(27) "B'JCHR$(l) ; 'Select pica pitch. l@j LPRINT "This line is PICA pitch (normal)."

When you run this program you should get this:

This lineisCONDENSED pitch.

This line is ELITE pitch.

This line is PROPORTIONAL spacing.

This line is F'ICA pitch (normal).

Line 20 turns on condensed pitch with < ESC > “B” CHR$(3). Line 30 prints a line at 17 characters per inch. The < ESC > “B” CHR$(2) in line 40 changes SG-lo/15 to elite pitch and line 50 prints a line in elite pitch. Line 60 turns on proportional spacing with < ESC > “p” CHR$(l), and line 70 prints a line with proportional spacing. Line 80 and line 90 reset SG- 1O/15 to pica pitch and line 100 prints a line in pica pitch.

Pica pitch and condensed pitch can be set with “shortcut” codes. Instead of using < ESC > “B” CHR$(n), you can set them with a single code. CHR$( 18) sets pica pitch and CHR$( 15) sets condensed pitch. You can not set elite pitch with a single code.

nExpanded print

Each of SG-10/15’s four print pitches can be enlarged to twice - its normal width. This is called expanded print.Try this program
