Re:   WordStar Epson Patches

The following was published in our computer club's newsletter.  As I don't
have an Epson MX-80, I can't make any claims to its accuracy, but would
appreciate hearing how it works out.

                        WordStar Epson Patches

The following patches will take advantage of some of the special
printing modes, available when using the Epson MX-80 printer with
GRAFTRAX-80 installed.

Using the INSTALL program area modification routine (after specifying
teletype-like printer), enter hex code at hex address shown below.

^A  Alternate pitch     Now selects alternate italics character set

       06B5 02
       06B6 1B
       06B7 34

^N  Normal pitch        Now selects normal character set

       06BA 02
       06BB 1B
       06BC 35

^Y  Ribbon Change       Now alternately sets, then resets, Epson's
                       "Emphasized" mode.
       06DD 02
       06DE 1B
       06DF 45

       06E2 02
       06E3 1B
       06E4 46

^Q  User 1              Sets compressed (16.5 cpi) print mode

       06C9 02
       06CA 14
       06CB 0F

^W  User 2              Sets wider mode (8.25 cpi)
                       Will revert to compressed mode after one line.
       06CE 02
       06CF 0F
       06D0 0E

^E  User 3              Sets expanded mode (5 cpi)
                       Will reset next line.
       06D3 02
       06D4 12
       06D5 0E

^R  User 4              Resets pitch to standard (10 cpi)

       06D8 02
       06D9 12
       06DA 14
