CHAPTER
8.
AJARI
PRINTERS
Introduction
In
this
chapter
, we
will
concentrate on sending
output
to
the
three
Atari printers;
the
Atari
820
Printer,
the
Atari
822
Printer,
and
the
Atari
825
Printer.
The process
of
outputting
numbers and text
differs
only
slightly
between these
three
printers.
However
,
the
Atari
825
has
several
programmable
features
not
available
on
the
Atari
820
and
822.
These
will
be described at the end
of
this chapter.
Another
difference
between the three Atari printers lies in
the
width
of
the
lines they
output.
The Atari
820
and
822
output
40
column
lines. This
is
the
same
output
width
as
the
video
display.
On
the
other
hand,
the
Atari
825
generally
uses
a
line
width
of
80
columns.
One
final
difference
lies in
the
way in
which
these
three
printers
are
connected
to
the Atari
computer.
The Atari
820
and
822
are
connected
to
the Atari
computer
via the serial 1/ 0
port.
The
Atari
825
printer
is
connected
to
the Atari
400
or
800
via
the
Atari
850
Interface
module.
BASIC
STATEMENTS
FOR
PRINTER
OUTPUT
Sending
output
to
the
printer
is
generally
much
the
same
as
sending
output
to
the
screen.
In
the
following
sections,
we
will
discuss
the
procedures
to
output
data
to
the
printer.
LIST
"P:"
When used with
the
printer
's device name
(P:)
,
the
LIST
statement
will
output
the
BASIC program
currently
in
memory
