ruler line to print pica, elite and condensed width pitches. In ad-
dition, you can use a similar method to print in letter quality.
The print control codes can be redefined to enhance the final
product of your document. The boldface, underline, superscript
and subscript functions require only a slight “recoding” of infor-
mation in the printer driver. And we have some suggestions for
changing the characteristics of the other print control codes to
use italic, expanded, emphasized and italic-underline print.
With these options, you will have even more flexibility printing
with this printer.

n Redefining pitch settings and print control codes
In order to change the settings used in the document ruler line
and the print control codes, it is necessary to edit ASCII code
decimal values in the System Functions portion of your
EasyWriter Il program. (For more details about ASCII codes,
please refer to Chapter 4.)
Your printer is considered a Type B printer by the
EasyWriter II program. Before making any changes in the
printer driver, you should first check to be sure the printer selec-
tion is set for printer Type B (Option 7 on the System Functions
menu.)
Then follow the instructions in Appendix B of your
EasyWriter II User’s Manual to reconfigure Type B printers.
To become more familiar with the reconfiguration process and
its terms and to make the instructions in this section easier to
understand, we suggest you read through Appendix B first.
In these few paragraphs, we’ll show you the ASCII decimal
values we feel provide good flexibility in printing with this
printer. You should follow the instructions hands-on with your
own EasyWriter II program.
The changes you will make are for pitch settings and print con-
trol codes (also called font support). However, all the screens in-
volved will be explained as you see them displayed.
From the System Functions Menu, choose Option 9 (Recon-
figure Printer Type B) and the printer name will be displayed.
Type over the present printer name as follows:
