A guide pin on each side of the ribbon cartridge helps to align the cartridge during installation 5. Now thread the ribbon carefully between the print head and the ribbon guide next to the platen. Take a good look at Figure l-7. You might want to use a ball point pen to lightly press the ribbon guide against the platen runbber roller while you insert the ribbon into the thin space between the print head and ribbon guide. Zmporiant Center the ribbon vertically in the middle of the print head to avoid misprints or the ribbon coming off during printing CONNECTING SR-lo/15 TO YOUR COMPUTER Figure 1-8.

The array MASK% contains the values of the dots. In order to make this program run on the most computers, we’re using only six pins for graphics. With many computers, you can use all eight available pins. In lines 90 and 100 we’ve defined some other variables you’ll be interested in LX, LXFAC, LY, and LYFAC are used as scaling factors. By changing these values, you can change the size of your printed image or even distort it you can, for example, make our circle print as an ellipse.
