Справочник Пользователя для Epson LX-80

Emphasized works only in draft pica and NLQ modes. In elite and

compressed the dots are already so close together that even with the
reduced print speed, the LX-80 cannot fire, retract, and again fire the
pins quickly enough to print overlapping dots.

You do sacrifice some print speed and ribbon life with emphasized,

because the print head slows down and prints twice as many dots, but
the increase in print quality is well worth it. Indeed, you may want to
use emphasized instead of the NLQ mode for some purposes because
emphasized printing is faster than NLQ printing.

Now that you have seen our example of emphasized printing, we

will give you a master program that allows you to test almost any of

the ESCape codes, including the ESCape code to turn on empha-
sized: ESCape “E”.

First, type in the program below. If you have some programming

experience, you can see that the program asks you what codes
you want to test and then prints a sample of what the codes do. Be

sure to type in the blank spaces in lines 70 and 80. If you are using

Applesoft™ BASIC, see Appendix F.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Now run the program. When the first question appears on the

screen, type a capital 

E and then press the RETURN key. Type

“emphasized” and press the 

RETURN key in answer to the second

question. The program is easy to use. Just remember to press the

RETURN key after the answer to each question and to use a capital

letter in the answer to the first question unless we tell you to use a
lowercase letter for a specific code.
