n Condensed print
Each of the print pitches also can be condensed to its normal
width. This is called condensed print. Try this program to see
how it works:
10 ’ Demo of condensed pitch
20 LPRINT "Demonstration of ";
30 LPRINT CHR$(15);
40 LPRINT "CONDENSED";
50 LPRINT CHR$(lS);
60 LPRINT w printing."
Demonstration of CONDENSED printing.
Condensed print set with CHR$(15) stays on until you turn it
off with CHR$( 18). Note that you don’t need to put an (ESC) in
front of the CHR$( 15), although (ESC) CHR$( 15) works just
the same.

By combining expanded print and condensed print with the
two pitches, this printer has eight different character widths
available.
