%CO:A,12,70%%LCR%//%H2% The Z88 as a simple typewriter/%H2% TYPE.DOC/

%C%(Not to be confused with, or compared to!, Z189)

%JL%The accompanying Basic program - "type" - which is only 210 bytes, 
%JR%will provide you (or your children!) with a very simple typewriter 
%JL%and perhaps more than just a little fun.  Actually, it is ideal for 
%JR%typing envelopes, invitations to kiddie's parties and that sort of 
thing.

%JR%It is based on using an Epson-compatible printer (I'm not familiar 
%JL%with any other) but I'm sure that if you use a different printer you 
will know the codes equivalent to those I have used for the Epson.

%JR%Print this doc. and proceed as follows - - CHAIN the program into 
%JL%Basic & you will see CODE on the screen.  Just press ENTER, type a 
%JR%few words and press ENTER again.  (Hereafter, (E) means "press 
%JL%ENTER").  If your words have not been printed you have done something 
%JR%wrong.  Type some more and (E). You have a second line of print now, 
%JL%no margin and standard font. If you now hit the £ key and (E) you go 
back to the start.

%JL%Type 9 and (E).  You are asked for CODE again but we don't want any 
%JR%more this time so (E) again.  Now, when you type some words and (E) 
%JL%they are 8 spaces in from the left.  £ and (E) will take you back to 
the start.

%JL%Just (E), i.e. no code; type something and (E). It is printeed with 
%JR%no tab - Code 9 cancels at line feed!  Next, enter code 9 three times 
%JL%and then type about 70 letters.  You get a 24 spc gap on the left 
%JR%AND, since you exceeded the number of characters for one line, they 
%JL%"wrapped" on to a second line.  If your printer is a standard(?) 84 
%JR%characters to the line then only 60 characters are on the first line 
(with no right-hand margin) 
  60 + 3 * 8 = 84  Q.E.D!

%JR%Do you have to put in a code for every line to get a left-hand 
%JL%margin?  Of course not!  Next time enter codes 27 108 and 10, i.e. 27 
%JR%and (E), 108 and (E),10 and (E) - three distinct entries.  Then three 
%JL%more - 27 81 and 74.  Type in exactly 74-10 i.e. 64 characters and 
%JR%(E).  You will get a line of type with margins of 10 at each side.  
%JL%If, of course, you type any more than 64 characters they will go on 
%JR%the next line.  If you're getting serious now you need to put a 
marker on, or near your screen.

%JL%If you haven't already found out by accident, you get a line feed any 
%JL%time you (E) without text. End of paragraph!  If you want to indent 
%JR%the first line of the next paragraph you can still use code 9 for 
this.  

%JL%You have realised by now that you are just using the same codes as 
%JR%you are using, or can use in the PrinterEd.  For enlarged print it's 
%JL%14 but it cancels at line feed.  Condensed print is 15 and it stays 
%JR%that way until you enter code 18.  It won't justify and codes for 
%JR%italics, bold, underline, etc apply to the whole line, not single 
words or phrases.

%P0%
%JL%DON'T switch off the printer unless you are finished - you wipe out 
%JR%all the codes you have entered.  And NEVER put a comma in ANYWHERE! 
%JL%Your code won't work and the printing will stop at the comma!  Why?  
I don't know!

%JR%There is a lot more I could tell you but we don't want to get too 
%JL%serious about this "typewriter".  Get out your printer manual and 
%JR%experiment!  In case you don't have an Epson printer manual, or just 
to provide a quick reference, see below!

Have fun.
