Combined Print Characteristics Command
This command provides a shortcut for specifying combinations of features in a single escape sequence.
To determine the value of n in this command, add up the values for each of the features you wish to use.
To turn off these features and return to 10 cpi printing, send the command ESC ! 0.For example, to print
text at 12 cpi, in italics and underlined, assign n the value 193 (164128).Each time you send the ESC ! n
command, it sets or cancels the values for all of the features it controls. This means that if you've
requested 12 cpi underlined italics, and then want to add emphasized printing to these features, you must
add 8 (the value for emphasized printing) to 193 and send the command ESC ! 201. If you send the
command ESC ! 8, you would turn on the emphasized printing, but at the same time you would be turning
off all the other features!
Example
To see the range of print styles you can produce with the ESC ! n command, run the following short
BASIC program. This program prints a sample of each of the 256 possible combinations. It will take a few
minutes and about 12 pages for the entire sample to print.
10 FOR I=0 TO 255
20 LPRINT:LPRINT
30 LPRINT CHR$(27);"!";CHR$(I);"ESC !";I;" selects this combination."
40 NEXT I
Emphasized printing engaged by this command can also be turned off by the ESC F command (see page
71). Enhanced printing engaged by this command can also be turned off by the ESC H command (see
page 71). Proportional spacing engaged by this command can also be turned off by the ESC p 0
command (see page 78).
