The LIST/P command lists all or part of the program lines in memory on the printer.
See the explanation of the LIST command for an explanation of procedures for
specifying the range of lines to be printed. Note that, when graphic characters are
included in the program list, most of them will be printed in a different colour as
hexadecimal ASCII codes if the plotter printer is used.
This statement is valid only in the text mode.

HC.
The HCOPY command copies the contents of the screen onto the printer. This com-
mand is only available for the MZ-80P5(K) printer and cannot be used for the colour
plotter printer.
PLOT
Format
Explanation
PLOT | ON |
| OFF
Abbreviated Format
PL.
The PLOT ON statement makes it possible to use the colour plotter printer as a
display unit. Thus, the MZ-800 can be used without an external display screen.
The PLOT ON statement sets the number of characters printed per line to 80 when
the screen is in the 80-column mode and sets it to 40 when the screen is in the
40-column mode.
This statement is only valid when the colour plotter printer is installed and used
in the text mode. The CONSOLE command is made invalid once a PLOT ON is
executed.
A period ‘‘.’’ is printed to represent any character which is not contained in the
colour plotter printer’s character generator. The | INST keys are
disabled by executing this statement. + can be used to change the colour
of the pen.
The PLOT OFF command cancels the PLOT ON command.
The INIT‘‘CRT:Mn””’ statement also cancels the PLOT ON command.
The printer is set to the 40-character mode if the PLOT ON is executed when the
display is in the 40-character mode; it is set to the 80-character mode if the state-
ment is executed when the display is in the 80-character mode.
