CHR$(27)“I1”

31 and that are not used as control codes.
CHR$(27)“I0”
Disables printing of codes 0 - 31 as characters.

CHR$(27)“7”

*If your computer cannot generate lower-case letters, use the equivalent decimal values.
Note: For software that allows you to insert printer codes during the set-up or operation of
the program, you will usually use the ESCape key Instead of CHR$(27) and omit the quotation
marks. If the code does not include CHR$(27), you will find an alternate version in brackets.
This alternate version uses the CONTROL key (indicated by a ^) with a letter. For example,
to produce Elite, press ESCape then M; to produce Compressed, press CONTROL
and O at the same time.
