SB-10 USER'S MANUAL

• USER FUNCTIONS
Once you have entered them, you’ll be able to call up each of these
features from the WordStar Print Menu, under the heading “User
Patches. ”
You can enter these features into WordStar by choosing theoption
“User-defined functions” from the Printer Installation Menu; “User
function #lo will appear on your screen.
WordStar allows you four separate “user functions,” each of which
represents a feature of the printer (and requires a specific code).
Now, remember that most printer features need both a code to turn
them on and a code to turn them off. So, you will need two user
functions for, say, expanded print. Using expanded print as a typical
feature you might want to install, let’s proceed with user function
#l. (Before we do, however, please note that function #l is given the -
designation ” h PQ”; when you are word processing in WordStar, you
can call up this function simply by typing in “PQ.)
Begin by pressing C to change the status of user function #l.
WINSTALL will present you with an explanation of how to enter three
different kinds of codes: “ASCII”, decimal and hexadecimal. In this
particular installation program, the method described for entering
“ASCII” codes can be used to enter both escape codes and control
codes: for each character in the code sequence,
*press ‘I:“,
aenter the character itself, and
• press < return >.
The code sequence to activate expanded print is W 1;
to enter this code in WordStar, type in:
: < ESC > < return >
:W < return >
:l < return >
WordStar will next read back to you the hexadecimal form cf this
code: 1 B 57h 1 h Oh (the lowercase “h” denotes hexadecimal numerals,
and the “Oh” means that the fourth space remains empty).
You can check the hexadecimal code displayed on your screen with
the hexadecimal code for expanded print in Appendix A of this manual.
If they match, you’ll know that you have entered the code
correctly. Press Y or < return > to confirm your choice.
You will next be presented with WordStar user function #2. Here
you’ll want to enter the code to cancel expanded print. You can enter
the code to cancel expanded print, < ESC > W 0, using the same
method you employed for user function #l. At a later time, when you
are word processing with WordStar, you can access this function
by entering “PW.
