CHARACTER OVERSTRIKE
With any
LaserJet
family printer, you may print more than one
character over another (overstrike)
for
the purpose
of
creating
special characters.
The
printer
can
print several layers
of
characters
on
top
of
each other.
To
overstrike characters, back
up over the characters and overstrike,
or
reposition
the
cursor
(using negative horizontal cursor moves) and overstrike.
For
example,
to
print
"H"
on
top
of
"A"
you would type the following:
A
E
c&a-1CH . (The escape sequence
Ec&a-1C
moves the cursor
back one character.)
AUTOMATIC
UNDERLINING
The LaserJet family printers
can
underline any line
or
a portion
of
any line by using
the
following escape sequences:
Enable underlining:
Ec&dD
Disable underlining:
Ec&d@
Once automatic underlining
is
enabled, all succeeding characters
will
be
underlined until the
Ec&d@
sequence is sent.
As
an
example,
to
underline the word hello, you would send the
following:
underline the word
Ec&dDhelloEc&d@
BASIC Example:
100
LPRINT
"UNDERLINE
THE
WORD
";
110
LPRINT
CHR$(27);"&dD";"HELLO";CHR$(27);"&d@"
120
LPRINT
CHR$(12); :REM
