Subj: REPLY TO MSG #5061 (PRINTING)

Clarence: I just got home and noted your message to me in the MailBox but I
moved it to the Conference where others might assist you as well.

Anyway... here are my responses

 > does anyone know how get a printer to print 80 across instead of 40 across.
i am using a dmp 132.

All micro-computer oriented printers boot up with pica (10 chars per inch hort,
6 lines per inch vert) unless your dip switches are set differently. 

I gather that the problem is not your printer when you say, "80 across instead
of 40 across."  Do a <shift><print> then respond to the 40 on your screen with
80 before you hit <enter>.

 > the manual doesn't give a clue

You're correct! (grin)

 > when i send chr$(27):chr$(14) for double size i get a sn message.

Yes, you would get an error.  Leave off the : character and place the command
LPRINT at the front end

LPRINTCHR$(27)CHR$(14)
