Method 2 (Merged)

Underlining can also be accomplished by sending the sequence:

TEXT, CR, SP/UL, line terminator. Underlining is on a per character basis.

Example:

Sent: A B C D E, CR, SP, UL, SP, SP, CR, LF

Printed: ABCDE

It isn’t necessary to match the length of the string between the text and

underlines, and spaces beyond that required to position the underlines as

desired.

Reversing the order of the string to: SP/UL, CR, TEXT, CR, LF is

permissible following the same positioning requirement.

Compatibility with Other Features

Configuration 28.0: leading and trailing spaces are not underlined

(reference (ESC) (–) (n) only).

Configuration 28.1: everything following (ESC) (–) (CHR$) 1 or 49 is

underlined.

Underlines are functional with all features except plot and any lpi

spacing such as 10 lpi in which there are no available dot rows for the

underlines.

Underlines are functional with automatic LF; configuration 23.X.23.O

must be set (CR = no Line Feed) in order to use CR as a flag for

underlining.
