CHR$(15) - Compressed Mode selection On the MX III, prints 132 characters per 8-inch line. On the FX-80 and RX-80, prints 132 characters per 8-inch line, but can print 137 characters if the right margin is changed. On the FX-100 and RX-100 prints 233 characters per 13.6-inch line. CHR$(17) and CHR$(19) - Printer selection On the FX only and only with DIP switch 2-1 off, turns printing on and off. When CHR$(19) is in effect, the printer ignores all output. CHR$(24) - Cancelling text On the FX and RX-100 only erases all text from the buffer; does not erase control codes from the buffer. ESCape " ! " - Master Print Mode selection On the FX only, selects one of 16 print mode combinations. Any one of these may also be combined with other print modes. Escape"#" , " > " and " = " - MSB control On the MX III and the FX, these three codes allow 7-bit system users to print high-order control codes by manipulating the most significant bit. ESCape and " &" - Custom character definition On the FX only, lets you design your own characters and store them in RAM. You can use them alone or in combination with the standard FX characters. Escape "*" - Special Graphics Mode selection On all three models, ESCape"K" and "L" provide two Graphics Modes. On both the FX and the RX, Escape"*" adds four more graphics densities: 80, 90, 120, and 140 dots per inch. On the FX only, adds a fifth, 72 dots per inch. ESCape " - " - Underlining On all three models, the underline character is five dots wide. On the MX-III, this code dumps the buffer and, when a space is placed at the beginning or end of a line, the printer ignores it. On the FX, the underline code does not empty the buffer and spaces can occur (and thus be underlined) at the beginning or end of a line. On the RX, the underline code does dump the buffer and spaces can occur (and thus be underlined) at the beginning or end of a line.
