First SelecType Exercises For practice in using SelecType, try setting emphasized mode. First turn the printer off and back on with the switch on the right side of the printer. Then press the ON LINE and FF buttons at the same time. The LX-80 beeps to tell you that it is in SelecType mode, the READY light turns off, and the ON LINE light begins blinking. Then press the ON LINE button two times to select emphasized. (The printer beeps each time you press the ON LINE button in SelecType mode.) After that, press the FF button once to set the function. You have now set emphasized mode. Next, press the LF button once, and your panel buttons return to their normal operation, but your printer is in emphasized mode. Since this is only an exercise, turn the LX-80 off and back on again to cancel all settings and prepare for the next exercise. You will probably use SelecType with commercial software as well as with BASIC or another programming language, but for now try a simple exercise using BASIC. You don't need to know anything about programming for this exercise. It is merely for practice. If your computer system does not include BASIC or if you would rather not use it, skip to the next section. Type the short BASIC program listed below: 10 LPRINT "This is a sample program." 20 LF'RINT "Notice the size I' ; 3d3 LPRINT "and darkness of the print. " Next, print a listing of the program using LLIST or your computer system's print listing command. Your LX-SO prints your program in ordinary single-strike pica, as illustrated below in our sample program. 1. $j /, ;:.:I 1.2 ',I I;?, '!'

First SelecType Exercises
For practice in using SelecType, try setting emphasized mode. First
turn the printer off and back on with the switch on the right side of
the printer. Then press the ON LINE and FF buttons at the same
time. The LX-80 beeps to tell you that it is in SelecType mode, the
READY light turns off, and the ON LINE light begins blinking.
Then press the ON LINE button two times to select emphasized.
(The printer beeps each time you press the ON LINE button in
SelecType mode.) After that, press the FF button once to set the
function.
You have now set emphasized mode. Next, press the LF button
once, and your panel buttons return to their normal operation, but
your printer is in emphasized mode. Since this is only an exercise,
turn the
LX-80
off and back on again to cancel all settings and prepare
for the next exercise.
You will probably use SelecType with commercial software as well
as with BASIC or another programming language, but for now try a
simple exercise using BASIC. You don’t need to know anything
about programming for this exercise. It is merely for practice. If your
computer system does not include BASIC or if you would rather not
use it, skip to the next section.
Type the short BASIC program listed below:
10
LPRINT
"This
is
a
sample
program."
20
LF’RINT
“Notice
the
size
I’
;
3d3
LPRINT
"and
darkness
of
the
print.
"
Next, print a listing of the program using LLIST or your computer
system’s print listing command. Your LX-SO prints your program in
ordinary single-strike pica,
as illustrated below in our sample
program.

Now that you have a sample program to list, follow these simple
steps to print your listing in compressed mode:
1) See that both the ON LINE light and the READY light are on.
2) Press the ON LINE and FF buttons at the same time. You hear a
beep to signal that SelecType is on.
