example; you should be able to apply most of the function codes
to the setup used here.
Redefining your own print pitches
If you want to define a new print pitch (Edit Pitch Table),
enter your function code to choose the print you want.
For example, if you find yourself frequently using italic print
for large blocks of text in pica pitch, you can combine italic and
pica pitch to define italic pica and use it in the ruler line of your
document. The ASCII code sequence would be 27802752 to
print italic pica pitch.
Redefining your own print control keys
The ASCII codes to redefine the print control keys (Edit Font
Sequences) are pretty straightforward. There are individual
ASCII decimal values to turn on and off different prints. You
want to affect that aspect but not the print pitch itself. Leave
that for your document ruler line. Remember, ali the codes can
be found in Appendix C of this manual.
Also, keep in mind that print control keys can be combined in
your document such as boldface and underline. EasyWriter II
uses three methods of highlighting on the display screen. It
highlight, underlines and shows reverse image characters. You
cannot combine print control functions that use the same
method of highlighting.
For example, in our definitions, underline and expanded
prints are both displayed as underlined on the screen.
Whichever function you use last will cancel out any previous
modes.
