But this brief, line-by-line description should help those of you who wish to analyze the program. 10 Stores values in variables for easy access. E$ holds the ESCape code, CHR$(27). 20 Uses ESCape "1" to set the line spacing to 7/216-inch and the ESCape "D" sequence to set a horizontal tab stop at column 26. 30 Uses the ESCape ":" sequence to copy the entire ROM character set into RAM. 40 Designates RAM as the source for the active character set. 50 Prepares the printer to redefine characters "0" through ":". 60 Sets a counter for the 11 letters being defined, and selects the attribute byte of each new character. 70 Reads the data that defines the letters (11 sets of ll).(See Chapter 15 for additional information on lines 30 through 70.) 80 Turns on the Unidirectional Print Mode. 90 Prints the top of the ticket and sets the line spacing to 6/72-inch. 100 Prints the newly defined symbol "7" (left ticket border), tabs to the next stop, prints the other border (9) and sets the line spacing back to 7/72-inch. 10
