Commodore Plus 4 - COMMAND AND STATEMENT FORMAT

Section 8. Instructions for Formatting Printed Documents 113
2. Type the formatting instruction in lowercase letters. Always type a semicolon
(;) at the end of each formatting instruction. If you are typing more than one
formatting instruction together, separate the instructions with a colon (:). If
you include the colon, you must also include the semicolon. For example, if
you use both an LMARG and an RM ARG instruction on the same line, type
them like this:
lmarglO;:rmarg65;
Note: Text that would be displayed in reverse mode on your screen is shown
boxed in this book.
3. Turn off reverse mode by pressing CONTROL and the 0 key.
The formatting instructions are explained in alphabetical order. This section
includes the six formatting instructions for printing data from file manager
records.
Format Defaults
Some formatting instructions have default values, but most do not. The following
are default values for printed formats:
Paper size 66 lines (11 inches)
Page length 60 lines per page
Left margin 0
Right margin 77
Justification Left only
Word wrap On
ASC
ASCII instruction lets you send a CHR$ control code directly to the printer.
You can tell a printer to print a word in boldface type, underline a heading, or
print a special character. The CHR$ control values depend on your printer, not
on the computer. Your printer manual tells you the values for the CHR$ control
codes. See Chapter 6 for more information.
