Second, read Chapter 4 which describes them in greater detail
and shows examples of how they are used in BASIC programm-

word processing program. Understanding what’s available and
how they perform will help you use them correctly in your
documents.
And third, follow the procedures in this chapter and your pro-
gram User’s Manual.
You may want to experiment with expa.nded text in combina-

(Note: If you have not read the “General Concepts” section in
this chapter, you should do so before continuing.)
This printer can be used with most of the standard print func-

1. Printing from the Print List Form screen.
2. Setting margins, tabs and lines per inch in the ruler line

We will show you how to make changes in your program
specifically to help you print with this printer.
