In this program, you can use any number you calculate by using the

formula above, but remember that emphasized can’t combine with

compressed or elite. If you try to combine emphasized with either of

the two narrow pitches, you won’t harm your printer; it will simply

use a priority list in its memory to determine which mode to use. The

list below shows the results of trying to combine emphasized with

either or both of these modes.

Emphasized + compressed + emphasized

Emphasized + elite + elite

Emphasized + compressed + elite compressed elite

Master Select is a powerful code that gives you an easy way

to produce multiple combinations with a single command. To see

double-strike emphasized underlined printing, for example, you

need only one ESCape code instead of three.

Indeed, Master Select is such a powerful feature that it may occa-

sionally be more powerful than you want it to be. Because it controls

seven different modes, a Master Select code will cancel any of those

seven that are not selected. For example, suppose that you have a page

in elite and want part of it in double-strike. If you use ESCape "I" 16 to

turn on double-strike, your LX-90 will begin printing in double-strike

pica instead of double-strike elite because the 16 code does not include

elite. Use 17 for double-strike elite.

Superscript and Subscript

Your LX-90 can also print superscripts and subscripts, which you

can use for mathematical formulas, footnotes, and other items that

require numbers or letters above or below the usual print line. ESCape

“SO”

turns on superscript and ESCape "Sl" turns on subscript. ESCape

"T" turns off either one. You can see them in action with the program

below:

10 LPRINT "The formula for water is H";

20 LPRINT CHR$(27);"Sl";"2";CHR$(27);"T";

LPRINT "0."

LPRINT CHR$(27);"@"

The formula for water is H

1 2 ... 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 ... 121 122
