[comp.sys.cbm] Need help printing underscore on STAR SG-10

sfk@wucs2.UUCP (Steve Karasek) (03/03/88)

In order to send underscores to the printer from C64 BASIC, I use the left
arrow character, which is ASCII code 95.  This translates to an underscore
on most printers.  However, a couple of users have STAR SG-10 printers, which
actually print a left arrow.  There is a character that looks like
an underscore (ASCII 114, I believe), but it prints longer than the normal
characters, so it messes up the spacing.  Is there any character on this
printer that prints as a normal size underscore?  Thanks in advance.

(Sorry, sfk at wucs2 - I could not reach you by mail.)

My Star SG-10 manual gives the ascii code for underlining as 45.  
It says this causes all subsequent characters - including spaces - to be  
underlined.  OOPS!  Overlooked something.  send 27 45 01 to turn it on; 
27 45 00 to turn it off
