Star Micronics 8111 Printer User Manual


 
Side margins
To set the left margin to a particular column you send this command:
<ESC> /n
in which n is the column number for the left margin. (Note that the character
t is a lowercase L.)
Column width is determined by the current pitch (for example l/12 inch for
12-pitch), or is set at l/10 inch forproportional spaced text. Once margins are
set, changing the pitch does not affect margins.
Same rules apply for the right margin: you send this command:
in which n is the column number for the right margin.
tfo w to center or justify text
If your text processor won’t center or line up text for you, your Star
LaserPrinter 8111 can do the job. Justified text prints flush against one or both
side margins on both the right and left sides of the page.
You turn on the centering or justification of text with the following com-
mand:
&SC> a n
For n enter a number from the following table:
,MODE
left justification :
centering 1
right justification
2
both sides justified
3
Backspace and horizontal tabs will only work in left-justification mode.
Line spacing
EX-800 emulation offers five different ways to vertically space lines. The
default is 6 lines to the inch, but you can change line spacing with the
commands in the following table. (In the first four of these commands,
remember that the number following the <ESC> code is a real number, not
the ASCII symbol for 0, 1,2 or 3.)
