CHAPTER 5
PRINTING TEXT
WITH SD-lo/l5
Beginning with this chapter we will be exploring all the features
of SD-10/15.
In this chapter we’ll cover:
l Near letter quality characters
l Italics
l Underlining
l Superscript and subscripts
l Print pitch
l Print emphasis
All our examples will be given in Microsoft BASIC as used
by the IBM Personal Computer, but remember that you don’t
need to know BASIC to use SD-10/15’s features. Just use the
same ASCII codes as we do in our examples.
You have already printed a few lines on your SD-lo/l5 printer.
Now it’s time to start looking at the many variations of printing
style that you have available to you.
SOME SPECIAL KINDS OF TEXT
n Near Letter Quality characters
SD- 10/l 5’s Near Letter Quality (sometimes abbreviated as
NLQ) character set is ideal for correspondence and other im-
portant printing, for it takes a keen eye to detect that it is from
a dot matrix printer. Normally (unless you have turned DIP switch
l-4 off), SD- lo/ 15 prints draft quality charactersThis is adequate
for most work and it prints fastest. But for the final printout,
try NLQ. The program below shows how.
