The other two buttons, FF and LF work only when the printer is off line (when the ON LINE light is off). If the ON LINE light is on, press the ON LINE button before you use these. l FF (Form Feed)-advances continuous paper to the top of the next page or ejects a single sheet of paper. l LF (Line Feed)-advances the paper one line at a time. The control panel can also be used to turn on several printing functions using SelecType, a feature which is described in the next chapter. Using Your Printer If you have a word processing or other commercial software program, just load the program into your computer, follow the printing instructions, and watch your LX-90 print. If your software program requires you to specify which printer you are using, see Appendix E for instructions. If you plan to use your LX-90 for printing program listings, load a program and use the appropriate listing command for the programming language you are using. For example, if you are using the ProDOS® BASIC that comes with your IIc, type NEW and then enter a simple program such as the one below: 10 FOR X=1 TO 5 20 PRINT X/3 30 NEXT X Then make sure your printer is turned on and type the following: PR#l and press RETURN. This causes PRINT and LIST statements to be directed to the printer instead of the screen. Then when you type LIST and press RETURN, you do not see anything on the screen, but the LX-90 prints a listing of the program. To return to normal operation, press the control and reset keys at the same time, or type PR#O and press RETURN.

Using Your Printer
If you have a word processing or other commercial software pro-
gram, just load the program into your computer, follow the printing
instructions, and watch your LX-90 print.
If your software program requires you to specify which printer you
are using, see Appendix E for instructions.
If you plan to use your LX-90 for printing program listings, load a
program and use the appropriate listing command for the program-
ming language you are using.
For example, if you are using the ProDOS® BASIC that comes with
your IIc, type NEW and then enter a simple program such as the one
below:
10 FOR X=1 TO 5
20 PRINT
X/3
30
NEXT X
Then make sure your printer is turned on and type the following:
PR#l
and press
RETURN.
This causes PRINT and LIST statements to be
directed to the printer instead of the screen. Then when you type LIST
and press
RETURN,
you do not see anything on the screen, but the
LX-90 prints a listing of the program. To return to normal operation,
press the
control
and
reset
keys at the same time, or type PR#O and
press
RETURN.
