[comp.sys.apple] Printing from applesoft.

DEKINDER@BANUIA51.BITNET (Jan De Kinder) (07/19/89)

I got a (perhaps stupid, but i can't find the answer to it)
problem that keeps bothering me.
When I'm printing from applesoft to my printer (imagewriter),
the printer starts after 80 characters a new line, even when
using 17 characters per inch.  How can I print more than 80
characters per line ?

Depending on the printer and interface card, printing Cntrl-I 132N (^I132N)
may do it.  HOWEVER I've discovered that with my Grappler+ and Epson MX100
that POKE 33,33 turns off the CR/LF's from Applesoft to the printer as well
as to the display (that is if I POKE 33,33 either within the program or
before I RUN it the printer will supply its own CR/LF when it gets to the
end of the carriage).
