OPEN#3,SER1 (or PAR if you are using parallel port) PRINT #3,CHR$(15); PRINT #3,"Some text in condensed 17 characters per inch printing." CLOSE #3 on some printers, PRINT #3,CHR$(27);CHR$(15); would also work. To cancel condensed print, use PRINT #3,CHR$(18); If this does not work, there is one of 3 possibilities: 1. Your printer doesn't support condensed printing (highly unlikely) 2. Your printer is not Epson compatible (unlikely!) 3. Other software is resetting the print pitch, e.g. the Quill printer_dat might be sending a printer reset code if you are using Quill. > I have discoverd ESCg which gives 15cpi and it would almost do for condensed Semi-condensed 15 characters per inch. > The main one seems to be the Master Select. ESC! n; While this would work, it shouldn't be necessary - just sending the SI code above should be all you need!!! -- Dilwyn Jones
