The printer’s priority list causes a combination of emphasized and

elite to produce elite only, a combination of emphasized and com-

pressed to produce emphasized only, and a combination of all three to

produce compressed elite. Also remember that elite or compressed

will cancel pica.

Master Select is a powerful code that gives you an easy way

to produce multiple combinations with a single command. To see

double-strike emphasized underlined printing, for example, you

need only one ESCape code instead of three.

Indeed, Master Select is such a powerful feature that it may occa-

sionally be more powerful than you want it to be. Because it controls

seven different modes, a Master Select code will cancel any of those

seven that are not selected. For example, suppose that you have a page

in elite and want part of it underlined. If you use ESCape "!”

128

turn on underlining, your

LX-90

will begin printing in underlined pica

instead of underlined elite because the

128

code does not include elite.

Use

129

for underlined elite.

Superscript and Subscript

Your

LX-90

can also print superscripts and subscripts, which you

can use for mathematical formulas, footnotes, and other items that

require numbers or letters above or below the usual print line. ESCape

“SO” turns on superscript and ESCape

"Sl"

turns on subscript. ESCape

“T” turns off either one. You can see them in action with the program

below:

10 LPRINT "The formula for water is H";

20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"S1";"2"CHR$(27)"T";

30 LPRINT "0."

40 LPRINT CHR$(27)"@"

The formula or water is H

Now that you see how to use the ESCape sequences for superscript

and subscript, you can devise your own examples.
