BEFORE STARTING
After Ih« roll of paper is rtslalled. load papor In tho same way as for
loading a 8hast of paper. The procedure is as follow*
Turn on the power of the computer, then the primer
Whan tho printer Is turned on, one line will be led.
Available paper
Regular or thermal paper Is available In the printer. When using rogu

To gel a clear printout, use paper whose surface is smooth.
We recommend the following paper:
Regular paper lor therm* transfer ... MBJ-A047P {contains ICO
A*sue sheets.;
thermal papor _ HBJ-AO'.UP {contains one roll ot paper.)
Notes: For hooping printout a long time, use a regular pacer with a
ribbon cartridge. If a Ihormal paper Is knot for a long pared,
(specialty. It it la loll lo a place subnet (o direct sunlight), the
printout win become discolored.

BASIC OPERATION
Printing out a program list
To prim out an MSX BASIC program list. enter the LUST command.
For example, execution ot Ihe following staiomenl wiP print a pro¬
gram Hit between line numDer* 10 and ICO:
LUST 10-100
Printing out chared** in eh* MSX-BASIC program
Enin- me LPRINT command
Fv example, execution of the following statement will pnnt cnarec-

Or, nan the following program:
10 INPUT A
20 I NI'UT B
30 l.l’Rl XT -A*H--:A+H
It 5 Is snlerad for A and 7 lor B from the keyboard, A*B= IS will be
printed out.
in other words, the LPRINT command is used to run a PRINT com¬
mand on the printer nstcad ol the display screen
• When operating the printer with software other than the MSX-
BASIC program, road the user’s manual ot the software.
Temporarily slopping print out
To temporarily atop p'tntlng out a program Hat. press the ON LINE

(The ON LINE ramp also goes ott.)
It the ON JNEsw icn Is then pressed, one more lino is printed out and
the thermal head returns lo tho loll end.
Replace paper, men press ihe ON UNE switch. Printing w*l restart
irom wnoro H left off.
• II DIP switch 2 is ON. printing will continue, even If paper is nearly
exhausted. When using sheets ol papor. set Dtp switch 2 to OFF.
ADVANCED OPERATION
The PRN T24 can Do changed to various mode* by tending » specific
code Irwn the computer
See the control code list .This list includes *3 control cooes.
The following explains how lo control tho printer using Borneo! these
codes
How to send a code
To send a code using MSX BASIC, onto* the CHR$ function and
LPBIN7 command.
For example, to feed a line, see New line” in "Operation Control ol
the control code l«st" . The code name ol Now lino” is LF and Its
hexadecimal code is JMOA
The neaxadoclmnl code SHOA is sent id the printer Iron the computer
using tho CHRf function and LPRINT command
mut si.ro the printer is In online mode then enter the following state-
mem in direct mooe:
LPRINT CHRi (AHOAL
Oro lino will be fod. This Is because 1 line food” codo. irtQA is sent to
the printer Iron- the computer with the atxxe LPRINT command.
You can thus control th* primer using 43 control coda*
Magnifying characters

ihe item, Print Mode Control of ihe control code list Their cede
nemee are SO and Si an a Ihe hexadecimal code* are SHOE and SHOF
