Use of Diablo Italics Print Wheel on 630/ECS printer.

A.  Text preparation:

	1. The text to be printed should be prepared for verbatim
     formatting only.  

	2. Italics must be on a line by line basis.  That is, the italics
     must be shut off by the end of the line, and then restarted on the
     next line if the italics treatment is to continue.

	3.  Even if an end-of-italics command is given by the end of the
     line, if that command is the very last character on the line the
     following additional step must be taken.  Follow the cut-off
     command with a ` or some other innocuous character that can be
     whited out on the hard copy.  [Should you fail to do this, the
     carriage return, line feed characters will not be recognized and
     the printer will continue printing the next line off the page and
     across the platen.]

	4.  Superscripted footnotes are problematic, use only in-line
     footnote numbers when using automatic footnoting.  And any italics
     in the footnote will have to be planned carefully so as to end up
     on a single line at the bottom of the page--and even then may not
     work.

	5.  Double line underlining is provided by the \ (backslash) char.

EXAMPLE:

@begin(verbatim)

     Inner-city youth can no longer expect to find unskilled jobs in
     basic manufacturing but @i[must] be prepared to compete for service
     and other jobs that assume basic competency in reading, writing,
     and math as well as fundamental office skills.  (See Mayors Office
     of Employment Training, @i[Job Requirements for the 1980s:  A Chicago] `
     @i[Assessment.] (Chicago: City Council, 1983).)

     The last two lines illustrate how italics must be line by line and how
     italics to the end of the line must be further shut off with a dummy
     character--here a `.  

@end[verbatim]



B.  Setting up the printer

	1.  If there is any problem along the way, it is best to turn the
     printer off at the rear and start over.  If the printer is turned off for
     any reason--such as to keep it from running off the page--then step 3 must
     be repeated.

	2.  Install the italics print wheel and flip the first slide switch
     under the hood up--the ECS switch.

	3.  Send the italics [formerly italics.out] file to the printer by one
     of the following means--if pluperfect, "type italics l"; if zcpr, "list
     italics"; if garden variety cpm, "control-p type italics control-p" --
     then carriage return for any of these commands.  The printer should
     respond with a slight carriage movement after a moment's pause, but 
     should not print anything.
