10-5
page, it figures the number of lines to leave blank and then it spaces down
this amount to start the next page.
When the Computer is first powered up, the page size is initialized to 66 lines
per page, but you can change this by using the POKE command to change the
value stored at address 16424.
For example:
POKE 16424,40
changes the size to 39 lines per page. The value at 16424 = page length + 1.
At the beginning of your program you should set the line counter to 1. This
only needs to be done once. The Computer will reset it to 1 each time you
execute a form feed, LPRINT CHR$(11). Initialize it by executing a POKE
16425,1.
The line printer will print 6 lines per inch. If each page is 11 inches high
POKE 16424,67 for 66 lines/page. In general, multiply 6 by the number of
inches in height of the page you are using and add 1 to get the value you
should POKE into address 16424.
Some printers will respond to additional Control Codes in a similar way,
using LPRINT CHR$(control code). Check your printer manual to find out
what functions it will perform and the decimal number control code to use
them.
The line printer will print 6 lines per inch and 66 lines per page. If this
format is not suitable, the number of lines per page can be changed by
POKEing the new number of lines into memory location 16424.
Example:
POKE 16424,40
POKE 16425,0
This instructs the Line Printer to print 39 lines per page, and resets the line
counter to zero.
