USING THE PRINTERWITH EASYWRITER II
(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-
tions available with your EasyWriter II word processing pro-
gram. These functions require no special adjustments to the
printer or your program. They include:
1. Printing from the Print List Form screen.
2. Setting margins, tabs and lines per inch in the ruler line of
your document. (The pitch settings, however, should be
adjusted to obtain maximum use. They will be discussed
later in this chapter.)
3. Print settings in the System Parameter function which
are either default or new settings edited by you.
You can also redefine the print functions of EasyWriter II to
take advantage of many of the printing capabilities of your
printer. You may already be familiar with reconfiguring the
printer driver from Appendix B of your EasyWriter II IJser’s
Manual. If not, don’t be nervous; it’s not as hard as it sounds.
We will show you how to make changes in your program
specifically to help you print with this printer.
By
changingthe pitch settings, you can use the document
ruler line to print pica, elite and condensed width pitches. In ad-
dition, you can use a similar method to print in near letter quali-
ty.
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.
■ 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 II program. (For more details about ASCII codes,
please refer to Chapter 4.)
