Press the ON LINE button the number of times indicated in the mode column. Be sure that the printer beeps each time you press the ON LINE button. 3. Press the FF button to set the typestyle. 4. Press the LF button to turn SelecType off. The control panel returns to its normal functions, but the printer is off line. 5. Press the ON LINE button, and you are ready to print. 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 MicrosoftTM BASIC (MBASIC), the most widely used BASIC in personal computers. Consequently, most users can enter and run the programs exactly as the programs appear in these pages. 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 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. 18 LPRINT "This is an example of" 28 LPRINT "LX-90 printing." 11
