The FX-80, on the other hand, can perform a reverse line feed, and

it uses this capability to place the underline one row lower than any

text dot. To do this, the FX-80 prints the text to be underlined, moves

the print head down the paper one row’s worth to print the underline,

then moves the print head back up to the original text line.

To see which method your printer uses, delete line 10 and replace

line 30:

FOR x=1 TO

LPRINT CHR$(l03);:

UNDERLINING IS SIMPLEggggg TO TURN ON/OFF

On the FX-80, the underlining does occur below the descenders of

the gs.

Script Modes: Super and Sub

Print pitches, such as Pica, Elite, and Compressed, affect the width

of characters: both Elite and Compressed Modes may be seen as

squeezing Pica characters horizontally. FX printers can also squeeze a

character vertically-to about half its normal height. These short

characters are called Script characters (not to be confused with cal-

ligraphic manuscript lettering). Because the Script characters are so

short, they can be placed high or low on the line; thus you can use

them for either SUPERscripts or SUBscripts.

This command turns Superscripting on:

LPRINT CHR$(27)"50"

This one turns Subscripting on:

LPRINT CHR$(27)"S1"

Try this program to see both kinds of Script characters:

20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"S0SUPER";

LPRINT CHR$(27)"TSCRIPT AND";

LPRINT CHR$(27)"S1 SUB";

50 LPRINT CHR$(27)"TSCRIPT"

LPRINT "CAN EVEN GO ON THE SAME LINE"
