the line at 12 characters per inch. The (ESC) “P” in line 40
resets the printer to pica pitch and line 50 prints the line in pica
pitch.
~ Expanded print
Each of the print pitches can be enlarged to twice its normal
width. This is called expanded print. Try this program to see
how it works:
10 ‘ Demo of expanded print.
20 LPRINT “DemorIstrat ion of “;
30 LPRINTCHR$(14) ;
40 LPRINT “EXPANDED”;
50 LFRINTCHR$(20) ;
60 LPRINT “ print ing. ”
70 LPRINT “Notice that “;
80 LPRINTCHR$(14) ;
90 LPRINT “EXPANDEDmode”
100 LPRINT “automatically turns off at the end of a
1ine.”
Expanded print set with CHR$(14) is automatically cancelled
at the end of the line. This is convenient in many applications,
such as for one line titles. Note that you didn’t need to put an
(ESC) in front of the CHR$(14), although (ESC) CHR$(14)
works just the same.
You can also cancel one line expanded print beforea carriage
return with CHR$(20), as done in line 50.
Sometimes you may wish to stay in expanded print for more
than one line. Change your program to this:
10 ‘ Demo of permanent expanded mode
20 LPRINTCHR$(27); “WI”;
30 LPRINT“Permanent expanded”
40 LPRINT “mode stays on unti 1“
50 LPRINT “is is “;
60 LPRINTCHR$(27); “WO”;
70 LPRINT“turned of f.”
