Color
Plotter-Printer
Commands
The
colorplotter-printer
commands described below can be used
with
the MZ-731 or, when
the
MZlPOl
calor-plotter printer
is
connected, with the MZ-711,
or
MZ-721. The
calor
plotter-printer can
be
used in either
of
two
modes: The
text
mode
(for
printout
of
program lists, results
of
calculations,
or
other
character data),
or
the
graphic
mode
(for
drawing figures and graphs).
Further, any
of
four colors (black, blue, green,
or
red) can be used for
printout
of
characters and
graphics. This capability
is
particularly useful when using
the
printer in
the
graphic mode.
2.7.1 General information about the color plotter-printer
(1)
The
calor
plotter-printer operates in either
of
two modes: The
text
mode (for
printout
of
the results
of
calculations, program lists, and
other
character data) and
the
graphic mode (used for drawing
figures and graphs).
The
printer will only operate in one
mode
at
a time. (Graphic
printer
commands
are ignored while the
printer
is
in
the
text
mode, and vice versa.)
(2)
Printer parameters are reset when
the
printer
is
switched from
the
graphics
mode
to
the
text
mode.
(In
other
words,
the
pens' X and Y coordinate settings are reinitialized.)
(3) The printer runs
on
power supplied from the main
unit
of
the
MZ-700, and is
not
equipped
with
a
separate power switch
. .
( 4) The following switches are used
to
control operation
of
the
printer.
a.
Feed switch . . . . . . . . . . Advances
the
paper.
b. Reset switch
.....
.
....
Resets (reinitializes)
the
printer.
c.
Pen change switch
.....
Used when replacing
the
printer's pens.
(5) There are
four
pen
colors: Black, blue, green,
and
red.
(6) When the printer
is
used in the
text
mode, any
of
three different sizes
of
characters can be printed.
The
largest size permits a maximum
of
26 characters
to
be printed on one line, medium size permits a
maximum
of
40
characters
to
be printed
on
one
line, and
the
smallest size allows
up
to
80
characters
to
be
printed
on
one
line.
Characters which can be
printed
when using
the
printer
in
the
text
mode are as shown below. No
other
letters, symbols,
or
graphic characters can be
output
while the printer
is
in this mode.
In most cases, hexadecimal ASCII
codes will be printed in a different
calor
if
an
attempt
is made
to
print
graphic characters with the PRINT/-
p
statement
or
LIST/P command.
