Programming 3 – 1 Chapter 3 Programming Now that you are familiar with the outside of the printer, you can begin printing documents using the default settings of the printer, that is, the kind of printing your printer is set up to do when you turn it on: Utility Mode* 10 characters per inch 6 Lines per inch Horizontal tabs at every eighth charact[...]

3 – 2 Programming Skip Over Perforation: If you use fanfold paper with your printer, you may need to use this command to instruct the printer to automatically advance the paper over the perforations. Character Pitch: You can change from 10 to 12 or 17.1 characters per inch and you can also double the character width (10 characters per inch to 5 c[...]

Programming 3 – 3 The printer will not do certain things unless you specifically tell it to. You instruct the printer to change the way it prints by sending special codes through your computer. When you write a program, you include the codes for printing features you want in your program. In BASIC, for example, include them in an LPRINT statement[...]

3 – 4 Programming Computers cannot understand letters. They use only numbers, more specifically, binary numbers (1s and 0s). When carrying out an LPRINT command, the computer sends the printer a code number for each character (letter, symbol, punctuation mark) within the quotation marks. As the printer receives each number, it prints the dot patt[...]

Programming 3 – 5 Let us try a few, starting with the ASCII non-printable code US. When the printer receives the SO command, it will print the next data with double width. 10 LPRINT “HELLO” 20 LPRINT CHR$(14); “HELLO” Now run the program. This is what you should get: ASCII code SO is non-printable, so you must use the decimal or hexadecim[...]

3 – 6 Programming The second time, the first line is printed standard width. Because the SO command is not in effect by the end of a line. To return to standard size printing (10 characters per inch) you have to put in CHR$(20), like this: 10 LPRINT“HELLO” 20 LPRINT CHR$(14);“HELLO”;CHR$(20); “ _ _ _ HELLO AGAIN” Note: _ means space. [...]

Programming 3 – 7 If you have a Software Package Software packages make the printer’s special features, such as smaller type fonts, subscripts, underlining, etc., much easier to use. To add the features to your package, read your software documentation for instructions, paying particular attention to any limitations—for example, some software[...]

3 – 8 Programming If your computer is equipped with BASIC, you have an alternative to selecting features. After you load BASIC, run a simple one or two line program telling the printer to change a feature(s). Without turning the printer off, load and run your software package. For example, suppose you wanted to print at 12 characters per inch: 1.[...]

Programming 3 – 9 Programming the printer For each printing feature explained in this chapter, three different forms of each code are listed as follows: ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal ESC 1 27 49 1B 31 Standard abbreviation Standard presentation Hexadecimal code used by in ASCII-used for of Decimal Code. A some software packages to reference variation[...]

3 – 10 Programming Horizontal Tabulation ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal ESC D 0 27 68 0 1B 44 00 Horizontal tabs are set at every 8th character when power is first switched ON. To eliminate the tab settings, use the ESC D 0 command. Horizontal Tabbing ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal HT 9 09 Advances to the next tab position which occurs every 8th character.[...]

Programming 3 – 11 Line Spacing The default line spacing for the printer is 6 lines per inch. This means that when the printer power is turned on, the spacing from the bottom of one line to the bottom of the next line on the same page is automatically set to 1/6 inch. This is also the normal spacing of a standard typewriter. The line spacing can [...]

3 – 12 Programming The ESC 2 command implements the line spacing set by the ESC A command. Should no ESC A command precede the ESC 2 command, the default line spacing (6 LPI) will be activated by the ESC 2 command. Fine Line Spacing ASCII Decimal Hexadecimal ESC 3 n 27 51 1-255 1B 33 01-FF The ESC 3 command is a user-selectable line space setting[...]

Programming 3 – 13 If the multiples specified in your ESC 3 or ESC J statements are not evenly divisible by 3, fine line spacing may be slightly more or slightly less than you specified. If the number you selected leaves a remainder of 1 when it is divided by 3, spacing will be slightly less than specified. If the number you selected leaves a rem[...]

Programming 3 – 15 The character size switches to 10 characters per inch (CPI) after the printer receives the DC2 command. The character size becomes 12 CPI when the ESC: command is received and 17.1 CPI when the SI command is received. Note: When the power is turned on while the TOF switch is depressed, the printer is set to 17.1 CPI. You can al[...]

Programming 3 – 17 Underlining under the spaces designated by horizontal tabs is also available. 10 LPRINT “This line is not underlined” 20 LPRINT CHR$(27);“-”;CHR$(1);“but this line is underlined” 30 LPRINT CHR$(27);“-”;CHR$(0);“This line is not underlined” This is not underlined but this is underlined This line is not underl[...]

3 – 18 Programming If you want to print subscript characters (characters appearing below the normal print line), use the ESC S1 command before entering the characters. To return to printing on the normal print line, use the ESC T command. Superscript and subscript characters are printed in normal characters. 10 LPRINT “This is ”; 20 LPRINT CH[...]

Programming 3 – 19 Enhanced printing provides a deeper resolution of each character because each dot contained in a normal character is doubled vertically, creating a darker impression. The ESC G command is a good feature to use for headlines and subtitles and can be used in conjunction with double- width characters. Emphasized printing, obtained[...]

Bit image graphics mode enables your printer to draw almost any kind of illustration by printing a dot at any location on [...]

3 – 22 Programming Programming Bit Image Graphics You can also write a program that prints a graphics image directly, without transferring it from the display screen. This section explains how to do this using BASIC statements. Your printer prints graphics images in successive columns of eight dots. The LPRINT statement that tells the printer to [...]

ESC Y 27 89 1B 59 (hex) Double Density, normal speed 120 x 72 DPI Max. dots/lin[...]

3 – 24 Programming 2. Number of Columns The start graphics code is followed by two numbers telling the printer how many columns to print. For ease of reference, call these numbers n1 and n2. To find the value of these numbers, determine how many columns you want to print, then divide it by 256. The value of n2 is the integer portion of the quotie[...]

Programming 3 – 25 Example: Suppose you want to print 400 columns of graphics: n2 = 1 256 400 256 n1 = 144 If you want to print in single density graphics mode, the beginning of your statement should look like this: LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(75);CHR$(144);CHR$(1) n2 n1 ESC K IBM BASIC includes two functions that make calculating nl and n2 very easy: ?[...]

3 – 26 Programming Maximum Graphics Columns Per Line Graphic’s mode ESC K 480 (Single Density) ESC L/ESC Y 960 (Double Density) ESC Z 1920 (Quadruple Density) If the value entered is greater than the allowed maximum, the proper maximum value will automatically be entered. 3.

3 – 28 Programming Putting it Together Now we can work through a simple example. Suppose we want to draw two diagonal lines. As drawn on graph paper, they look like this: Step 1. Begin with LPRINT and the start graphics code for single density graphics: 10 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(75); Step 2. Count the columns in the image. There are 11, so we calcu[...]

Programming 3 – 29 Step 3. Next add the dot values for each column and insert them in the statement: 10 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(75);CHR$(11);CHR$(0);CHR$(1);CHR$(2) CHR$(4);CHR$(9);CHR$(18);CHR$(36);CHR$(72);CHR$(144); CHR$(32);CHR$(64);CHR$;(128) Step 4. Now run the program. The result should look like this: If it does not, check your arithmetic an[...]

3 – 30 Programming Notice that the angle is steeper and the two lines are closer together. This is because each individual column now overlaps the next one. Notice also that it prints more slowly, although with this amount of printing the difference in speed may be hard to detect. Now try double density, normal speed (ESC Y): 30 LPRINT CHR$(27);C[...]

Programming 3 – 31 Here is another sample program that uses a FOR-NEXT loop to print all the possible combinations of dots and spaces in numeric order: 10 REM SAMPLE 2 20 WIDTH “LPT1:”,255 30 NDOTS = 256 ‘MAXIMUM POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS 40 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(75);CHR$(NDOTS MOD 256); CHR$(FIX(NDOTS/256)); 50 REM START GRAPHICS 256 COLUMNS 60[...]

3 – 32 Programming You can vary the length of the graphics line by changing the value of NDOTS. Try changing the density in this program and see what happens. Save this program; you will need it later. Combining Text and Graphics You can mix normal text printing and graphics on the same line. Here is an example using the image coded in the last s[...]

Programming 3 – 33 Printing Multiline Graphics One LPRINT statement cannot print more than one line of graphics, so you have to enter a separate LPRINT statement for each subsequent line of graphics. To illustrate this, add these lines to the SAMPLE 2 program: 40 FOR J = 1 TO 4 75 NEXT J This loop causes the LPRINT statement to be repeated four t[...]

3 – 34 Programming The modified program now looks like this: 10 REM SAMPLE 2 15 WIDTH “LPT1:”,255 20 NDOTS = 256 25 REM MAXIMUM POSSIBLE COMBINATIONS 30 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(65);CHR$(8) 35 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(50) 40 FOR J = 1 TO 4 45 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(75);CHR$(NDOTS MOD 256); CHR$(FIX (NDOTS/256)); 50 REM START GRAPHICS 256 COLUMNS 55 FOR[...]

Programming 3 – 35 Reminders 1. Make sure you have entered column data for the same number of columns as specified by n1 and n2 in your LPRINT statement. If you enter too much or too little data, the results will be garbled. 2. You can print no more than the maximum number of columns for your graphics density mode. If more data is contained in th[...]

3 – 36 Programming To simplify typing the column data, you can enter the values in a DATA statement, then use a READ statement in a loop to print it. Here is a model: . . . 30 LPRINT CHR$(27);CHR$(75);CHR$(NDOTS MOD 256); CHR$(FIX(NDOTS/256); 40 FOR I = 1 TO NDOTS 50 READ C 60 LPRINT CHR$(C): 70 NEXT I . . . 100 DATA 2, 4, 8, 16, 32...........
