Many of us that use TASWORD TWO are bothered by one thing that spoils all the fun. This is the fact that once you have printed something on your 80 col. printer, you can not again print with your T/S 2040 Printer without going through a big hassel. Also, many of the command functions of the program also produce the same result and leave the user who only has the T/S 2040 Printer between a rock and a hard place.

To correct this problem, go to the main menu by using SYMBOL-SHIFT A, exit to BASIC by pressing b, then add this line to the BASIC portion of the program:

29 POKE 26703,0 : POKE 26704,5

Now GOTO 25, and save this version of the program by pressing “t”.

Now any time your T/S 2040 fails to print, all you have to do is use: SYMBOL-SHIFT A, then press “y” to return to your text and print to your hearts content. This in no way interferes with your 80 col. printer.

LARGE PRINT USING TASWORD TWO and a T/S 2040 PRINTER

Set right margin to 32 columns. Set window to a 32 col. screen. Stay in this mode when you print your text. All other aspects remain the same. Large print still works, just more so.
