Basic Widths The first programs print characters in the LQ's three basic widths. Further programs show you how to produce other character widths by condensing and widening the basic ones. Pica printing The first program prints a sample line of characters in pica. This is the default width on the LQ, which means it is used unless the printer receives a command to use one of the other two basic widths. 40 FOR X=65 TO 105 50 LPRINT CHR$(X); 60 NEXT X: LPRINT: LPRINT Now run the program to print the results you see below-10 characters per inch: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_'abcdefghi Elite printing To print the same line of characters in elite (which is 12 characters per inch) add the following line to your program.

Basic Widths
The first programs print characters in the LQ’s three basic widths.
Further programs show you how to produce other character widths
by condensing and widening the basic ones.
Pica printing
The first program prints a sample line of characters in pica. This is
the
default
width on the LQ, which means it is used unless the printer
receives a command to use one of the other two basic widths.

acters per inch:

To print the same line of characters in elite (which is
12
characters
per inch) add the following line to your program. (Just type the new
line; you don’t have to retype the other lines.)

15
charac-
ters per inch) enter this new line 20.
