Table 3-1. Characters per line Normal Elite Condensed Condensed Elite T-750 136 163 233 272 Therefore, if your spreadsheet asks the number of columns your printer can print, decide which mode you will use and supply the appropriate number from Table 3-1. Printer commands Unlike word processors, spreadsheet programs usually don't let you change printer commands within a spreadsheet. Instead, one style or mode of printing is used for the whole spreadsheet. With the T-750, there are two main ways of sending commands to control the printing of a spreadsheet. First, almost all spreadsheets have the capability of sending commands to a printer. Look in the manual for your spreadsheet to find out how to send printer commands. Then look in the Command Summary (Appendix A) in this manual to find the proper codes to send. For example, your spreadsheet might use a "setup string" to send printer commands. To prepare a setup string for condensed elite, you would look up the proper command in the Command Summary. The command for elite is ESC M, and the command for condensed is SI. because most spreadsheets use the decimal equivalent for the commands, (also given in the Command Summary), a setup string for condensed elite might look like this: /027/077/015 The number 027 is for the escape code, 077 is for M, and 015 is for SI (condensed). The second method to choose condensed is one of the SelecType control panel buttons. The use of this button is described in Chapter 1. If your spreadsheet is not printing correctly, be sure you have selected the correct printer if the program asks you to select one. Using the T-750 with Application Programs 3-5
