The text prints in Compressed Mode, but the left margin is still set at
10 Pica spaces.
Right margin
The general format for the right margin is:
CHR$(27)"Q"CHR$(n)
For the
FX-80,
n can range from
2
to
80
in Pica,
3
to
96
in Elite, and
4
to
137
in Compressed Mode. For the
FX-100,
n can range from 2 to
136
in
Pica, 3 to 163 in Elite, and 4 to 233 in Compressed. The lower limits
may seem strange when compared with the O
S
allowed for left margin
limits. We’ll investigate the limits on the right margin shortly, but first
let’s try out the command.
The margins can be set either from a BASIC program or from the
BASIC command level (without line numbers). The following line sets
the right margin to 5 in Pica. Type:
LPRINT CHR$(18)CHR$(27)'Q'CHR$(5)
and
50 LPRINT "RIGHT MARGIN WHERE?"
Now RUN your program.
