It seems that many people are curious as how to get super and subscripts
with the Prowriter/Imagewriter/Apple Dot Matrix Printer (DMP) all of
which are basically the same.
Below is a little method I use It will not work with the Near Letter
Quality Mode on a Prowriter Plus. For an explanation of the commands
refer to your printer reference manual under escape sequences and special
commands.
Commands to get boldface, underlining, super and subscripts
with a Prowriter using Appleworks:
Select custom printer from the printer menu.
Then...
set boldface with the escape sequences
begin --> Escape !
end --> Escape "
set underline as:
begin --> Escape X
end --> Escape Y
and...
subscripts:
begin --> Escape [ Escape T08 Control-J
end --> Escape r Control-J Escape f Escape T24 Escape ]
superscripts:
begin --> Escape [ Escape T08 Escape r Control-J
end --> Escape f Control-J Escape T24 Escape ]
where I have indicated lowercase characters and uppercase characters
I have done it intentionally.... Just type exactly what is there
(substituting the <ESC> key for Escape and <CTRL> key for Control of
course)
Test it out first... I have a Prowriter Plus with NLQ (Near Letter Quality)
mode and it doesn't work with NLQ mode... but it should work otherwise.
If you look in your manual you can see what I have done exactly.
and questions...???... just write back
