printer question Alphacom42

[rockdoc2010]

I will be selling an Alphacom42 printer.

Yes power supply and yes Atari cartridge.

At one time i was able to spit out the entire ATASCI character set to the printer.

 

HOW do I send that thing to the printer?

The thing that spits out all characters?

 

Thank you for your support!

I believe this printer can print ATASCI characters natively, so maybe something like this:-

will print all characters

 

5 OPEN #1,8,0,"P:"
10 FOR I=0 TO 255
20 IF I=155 THEN GOTO 60
30 A=I/40-INT(I/40)
40 IF A=0 THEN ? #1;CHR$(155):GOTO 60
50 ? #1;CHR$(I);
60 NEXT I
70 CLOSE #1

ARRGHH 

It works and thank you very much however it is printing one character per line. 

It seems to be adding a carriage return after every printed character. 

I had this thing spit out the entire set across the width of the paper before.

I will try to find a manual in archives.

You could modify the code to put CHR$(I) into a 40 character string and print the string

would need to modify the program a bit, but that should work

 

or maybe a ';' after the CHR$(I); might supress the CR
