Print Enhancement Commands

The print enhancement commands enable your printer to improve or
enhance the print quality. Print enhancements include such things as
superscript and subscript text, text underlining, expanded, compressed,
double-high, LQ, shadow, and emphasized print to make the print
appear bolder. The following paragraphs describe the print enhancement
commands.

Select Expanded Print for One Line

Control character: SO
Hexadecimal:

Escape Sequence: ESC

SO

These commands select the expanded (double-wide) print mode for
either draft or LQ printing. Either a Carriage Return or a Cancel
Expanded Print command cancels the expanded print mode; therefore,
for two or more consecutive lines of expanded print you must invoke
the command for each line.
