Conlrols for
odjusling
the monitor
Because
the
AppleColor
Composite
Monitor has
two
modes
of
operation-text
and
color-adjusting the
monitor's
picture
takes
two stages: adjusting
the text display and then adjusting the color
(graphics)
display. If
you
don't
have
a
program
that displays color
graphics,
adjust
only
for
text.
* The epplelle
and
SO-Column
Display: To
display text
in
80-
column
form,
an
Apple IIe must have
an 80-column card or
extended 80-column
card.
Also, the
program
displaying
the
text, must be written
to display 80 columns.
The monitor
alone
can't change a
4O-column
program
into
an 80-column display.
If
you
dso
intend
to adjust the display
for
color,
you
need
a
program
that displays
a color
graphic.
It
doesn't,
matter
whether
this
is
a
test
pattern,
a business
graph,
or
a
game,
as
long
as
it
gives
you
some steady
pattern
of colors
to work with.
The more
colors,
the better!

To
work through
this section,
you'll
need
a
program
that
puts
text
on
the screen
(preferably
in
80-column
format).
1. Insert
the disk
you've
chosen
for
text
display
into
your
system's
startup disk drive.
(See
your
owner's
guide
if
you
don't
know how
to
locate
the
startup
drive or
how
to
insert
a disk
into
the
drive.)
2. Turn
the computer
on.
The
computer's
power
light
and the disk
drive's
in-use light
come on.
The
disk
drive
whirs.
Soon some
text appears on
the screen.
Three
controls-Vertical Uold, Vertical
Size,
and Horizontal
Hold-are
on the
back
panel
of
the monitor. An icon identifies
dach control.
