SelecType Exercise You will probably use SelecType mainly with commercial software, but since there are so many different commercial software programs, the sample exercises are in BASIC because every IIc is equipped with this programming language. You don't need to know anything about programming for this exercise because it is merely for practice. If you would rather not use BASIC, use your word processing or business program to create a short file or document of the type you will usually print. If you do want to use BASIC for this exercise, simply see that there is no disk in your computer and turn on your computer and printer. Then type the short program listed below. Only the words inside the quotation marks are printed. You can put anything you want there. 5 PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#l" 10 PRINT "This is an example of" 20 PRINT "LX-90 printing." 300 PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#0" Now, run the program by typing RUN and pressing RETURN, or print your file or document by following the printing instructions of your software. The LX-90 will print your example in standard singlestrike printing, as shown below: This is an example of LX-90 printing . Now that you have created a sample, follow these steps to print it in emphasized mode: 1. See that both the ON LINE and READY lights are on. 2. Press the ON LINE and FF buttons at the same time. You hear a beep to signal that SelecType is on. 3. As shown in Table 2-1, the code for emphasized is two. Therefore, press the ON LINE button two times. (Remember to make sure you hear a beep each time you press the ON LINE button when you are in SelecType mode.) 11

SelecType Exercise
You will probably use SelecType mainly with commercial software,
but since there are so many different commercial software programs,
the sample exercises are in BASIC because every IIc is equipped with
this programming language.
You don’t need to know anything about programming for this exer-
cise because it is merely for practice. If you would rather not use
BASIC, use your word processing or business program to create a
short file or document of the type you will usually print.
If you do want to use BASIC for this exercise, simply see that there
is no disk in your computer and turn on your computer and printer.
Then type the short program listed below. Only the words inside the
quotation marks are printed. You can put anything you want there.

PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#l"
10 PRINT "This is an example of"
20 PRINT "LX-90 printing."
300 PRINT CHR$(4);"PR#0"
Now, run the program by typing RUN and pressing
RETURN,
or
print your file or document by following the printing instructions of
your software. The LX-90 will print your example in standard single-
strike printing, as shown below:
This is an example of

printing
.
Now that you have created a sample, follow these steps to print it in
emphasized mode:
1. See that both the ON LINE and READY lights are on.
2. Press the ON LINE and FF buttons at the same time. You hear a
beep to signal that
SelecType
is on.
3.
As shown in Table 2-1, the code for emphasized is two. Therefore,
press the ON LINE button two times. (Remember to make sure
you hear a beep each time you press the ON LINE button when
you are in SelecType mode.)
