Printing Modes
For fast printing at 800 characters per second (CPS) use utility mode,
which is useful for high-volume printing, program listings or drafts.
If a little quality can be sacrificed for speed, select high speed draft (HSD)
mode. In this print mode, printing is at 1066 CPS in 10 CPI. However draft
mode is unavailable with double width, emphasised, enhanced, italics and
proportional spacing.
When print quality counts, near letter quality (NLQ) mode offers high
quality printing at 200 CPS.
The command for the auto justification in NLQ mode lets the printer be
programmed to layout text in accordance with the following table.
Left (the default value) means that text will be aligned to the left margin.
To centre a line of text between the left and right margins (for example, for
headings, titles or captions) use the CHR$(27);"a";CHR$(1) command.
Right justification is the opposite of the Left command. This means that
the right margin will end evenly but the text at the left margin will be
uneven. Finally, full justification adds the necessary spaces to a line of text
so that both the right and left margins are even. This is carried out when
the line buffer becomes full.
