lines per page (this may vary with the type of

printer). Therefore if you specify a printed

page length of 6Ø lines (CTRL—I 6ØP), your

printer will print 6Ø lines and automatically

skip over the perforation with 6 line feeds.

CTRL—I B

Turn on bell. This allows a CTRL—G to ring the

printer bell. Many printers do not have a bell

so check your printer manual to see if this

feature is available.

CTRL-I C

Turn off bell.

CTRL—I S

Duplicate the present text screen on-the printer.

The screen will be printed 20 spaces from the left

edge of the paper. This command is accessible from

BASIC only as it uses some of the monitor

routines, Only the forty character screen is

printed. Eighty character boards are not

supported.

CTRL—I CTPL-Y

Change to new command character CTRL—Y. To do this,

type in CTRL-I CTRL-Y. Any control character may be

used here (instead of CTRL—Y) but you should avoid

characters used by your printer or normal text con-

trol characters such as CTRL—M (carriage return).

CTRL-Y CTRL-I

changes back to command character CTRL—I.
