If
your
computer
is
equipped
with
BASIC, you have
an
alternative to
selecting features. After you load BASIC, run a simple one-
or
two-
-
line program telling the printer to change a feature(s).
Without
turning
the printer off, load and run
your
software package.
-
For example, suppose you wanted to
print
at 12 characters per inch:
-
1.
Load BASIC
-
2. Type the command: LPRINT CHR$(18)
-
NOTE:
You
do not have
to
know
how
to
program
to
do
this, but be sure to check
your computer documentation to see what statement to use
(we
use
LPRINT)
before
each command. Not all versions
of
BASIC are the
same.
-
3.
Press
ENTER,
then RETURN or
CR.
-
4.
Without
turning the printer off, enter
your
software package.
What
you just typed causes the computer to send a command to the
printer to go into 12 characters per inch mode.
When
you load and
run
your
software, all printing thereafter
will
be at 12 characters per
inch until you turn the printer
off
or
send a command to change the
characters per inch setting.
-
There
is
one
exception to this method, however: You cannot
use
this
method
if
your
computer
sends
an
"I-Prime"
signal before you load
-
a program. An
"I-Prime"
signal
is
sent by some computers to cancel
any special commands that were previously in effect
so
that you can
-
start fresh
with
each
new
document.
-
Basically
if
you are using a software package, just
follow
the instruc-
tions in the software manual
or
ask
your
dealer for the OKI
USERS
TIP that can help you. OKI publishes these instructions to make
set-
ting up and using various popular software packages
with
OKI
printers much easier.
