Graphics
Strange things print.
Don’t set, form lengths of 0 or
128.
Don’t set the skip larger than the
form length.
Can’t set vertical tabs greater
than the form length. Each tab
sequence must be terminated by a
CHR$(0) or a number less than
the last tab value.
Each tab sequence must be termi-
nated by a CHR$(0) or a number
less than the last tab value.
Tabs are set according to current
print pitch. Changes in pitch do
not affect the position of the tabs
on the page.
Some systems require a WIDTH
statement. See your system docu-
mentation.
Many computers have problems
sending one or more of the codes
0 and 8 - 13. Avoid any that affect
your
system
if possible.
Alternatively, you can substitute
the high-order versions, or you
can POKE the problem codes
directly to the printer.
Seven-bit computers cannot use
the eighth pin (128). If you have a
7-bit computer and your pin
sequence is larger than 127,
change it.
