# Banner 1000

The purpose of this program is to print out banners on your Timex printer using your ZX81 or T/S 1000. After typing in and running, you will be instructed to “ENTER YOUR MESSAGE TO PRINT”. Now enter your message and press return. Next you will be asked to choose a “bit character”. This is the character which makes up the letters on your banner. After entering your choice of bit, your banner will, begin to print out. Choice 3 will use the same letter for a bit as the letter it is currently printing. After your banner is finished, the program will run again.
