Expanded printing

The expanded mode (sometimes called double width) of the

HomeWriter- doubles the width of all the letters, symbols, and

graphics characters. This mode produces striking headings and titles.

You can see printing in this mode by entering the following pro-

gram.

10 OPEN1,4

20 PRINT#1,CHR$(14)"EXPANDED PRINTING"

CLOSE1

When you have entered the program, type RUN and press

RETURN.

You should see the results below.

EXPANDED PRINTING

Once you have turned on expanded printing, it will stay on until

you cancel it by using a cancelling code or by turning off the printer.

You can prove this with another short program.

First erase the other program from your computer’s memory by

typing NEW and pressing

RETURN,

but don’t turn off your printer.

Then type in and run this program. Remember that you run each

program by typing RUN and pressing

RETURN.

NEW

10 OPEN2,4

20 PRINT#2,"THIS IS STILL EXPANDED"

30 PRINT#2,CHR$(15)"NOW EXPANDED IS OFF"

CLOSE2

THIS IS STILL EXPANDED

NOW EXPANDED IS OFF

As you can see, the first line is still in expanded printing, but the

second one is not. The first is expanded because the previous program

turned on expanded and it stays on until it is turned off. The second

line is in standard printing because the code that turns off expanded,

CHR$(15), comes before the words that are printed.
