The text prints in Compressed Mode, but the left margin is still set at 10 Pica spaces. Right margin The general format for the right margin is: CHR$(27)"Q"CHR$(n) For the FX-80, n can range from 2 to 80 in Pica, 3 to 96 in Elite, and 4 to 137 in Compressed Mode. For the FX-100, n can range from 2 to 136 in Pica, 3 to 163 in Elite, and 4 to 233 in Compressed. The lower limits may seem strange when compared with the OS allowed for left margin limits. We'll investigate the limits on the right margin shortly, but first let's try out the command. The margins can be set either from a BASIC program or from the BASIC command level (without line numbers). The following line sets the right margin to 5 in Pica. Type: LPRINT CHR$(18)CHR$(27)'Q'CHR$(5) and 58 LPRINT "RIGHT MARGIN WHERE?" Now RUN your program. Figure 9-4. Right margin set incorrectly 116

The text prints in
Compressed
Mode, but the left margin is still set at
10 Pica
spaces.
Right margin
The general format for the right margin is:
CHR$(27)"Q"CHR$(n)
For the
FX-80,
n can range from
2
to
80
in Pica,
3
to
96
in Elite, and
4
to
137
in Compressed Mode. For the
FX-100,
n can range from 2 to
136
in
Pica, 3 to 163 in Elite, and 4 to 233 in Compressed. The lower limits
may seem strange when compared with the O
S
allowed for left margin
limits. We’ll investigate the limits on the right margin shortly, but first
let’s try out the command.
The margins can be set either from a BASIC program or from the
BASIC command level (without line numbers). The following line sets
the right margin to 5 in Pica. Type:
LPRINT CHR$(18)CHR$(27)'Q'CHR$(5)
and
58 LPRINT "RIGHT MARGIN WHERE?"
Now RUN your program.
