{{DISPLAYTITLE:_PRINTMODE}}
The [[_PRINTMODE]] statement sets the text or [[_FONT]] printing mode on a background image when using [[PRINT]] or [[_PRINTSTRING]].
{{PageSyntax}}
: [[_PRINTMODE]] {''_KEEPBACKGROUND''|''_ONLYBACKGROUND''|''_FILLBACKGROUND''}[, {{Parameter|imageHandle&}}]
{{Parameters}}
* One of 3 mode keywords is mandatory when using this statement to deal with the text background.
**''_KEEPBACKGROUND'' (mode 1): Text background transparent. Only the text is displayed over anything behind it.
**''_ONLYBACKGROUND'' (mode 2): Text background only is displayed. Text is transparent to anything behind it.
**''_FILLBACKGROUND'' (mode 3): Text and background block anything behind them like a normal [[PRINT]]. '''Default setting.'''
* If the optional {{Parameter|imageHandle&}} is omitted or = 0) it will use the current [[_DEST|destination]] image background.
{{PageDescription}}
* Use the [[_PRINTMODE (function)]] to find the current [[_PRINTMODE]] setting mode number.
* '''The _PRINTMODE statement and function can only be used in graphic screen modes, not SCREEN 0'''
