Summary
You can use the Backspace Mode to overstrike one or more charac-
ters. In this manner, you can combine two or more characters to form
completely new ones. Another way you can use backspacing is to
sandwich it between two printings, each in a different print mode, to
create characters with offsets.
You can select any one of the nine international character sets by
using the control code sequence given below; or you can designate
any one of eight of the sets as the default set by changing a DIP switch.
You can cause any FX to print in Half Speed, and you can cause the
FX-80 to react as though it were a typewriter by using the Immediate
Print Mode. Here are the DIP switches we mentioned in this chapter:
Switches 1-6
1-7
1-8
Any change to these switches causes a change of the default interna-
tional character set.
Here are this chapter’s commands:
CHR$(8)
Causes a backspace
CHR$(27)“R”CHR$(n) Selects an international character set,
where n = 0-8:
0 = USA
5 = Sweden
1 = France 6 = Italy
2 = Germany
7 = Spain
3 = United Kindgom
8 = Japan
4 = Denmark
