A typical set up is as follows:
| Code | Effect |
| CTRL-N | 4 CPI |
| CTRL-O | 10 CPI |
| ESC K 2 | 5 CPI used for Red |
| ESC K | 6 CPI used for Blue |
| ESC ! | Boldface begin |
| ESC " | oldface end |
| ESC y | Sub begin |
| ESC z | Sub end |
| ESC x | Super begin |
| ESC z | Super end |
With this set up, printing a portion of text in red requires the following steps:
1. Move the cursor to the beginnning of the desired text.
2. Select printer options.
3. Choose 5 CPI.
4. When you wnat to return to black printing, select printer options and choose 10 CPI.
To set the printed text to blue, select printer options and choose 6 CPI.
Don't forget to select printer options and choose 10 CPI to return printing to black.
Use these steps to produce color printing of one word or a couple of words. To make a whole paragraph color, the only command that seems to work consistently is underline. If you configure the underline command as a color, you'll get the whole paragraph in that color. If you configure the superscript-subscript command as a color, you'll only get the first line in color; all subsequent lines will be black. Margins will be wrong if you set up things like 4 CPI for color.
