Epson FX Printer Emulation Mode 8-28

These commands cause the printer to print characters at about 60
percent of their normal widths. For example, for a character pitch of
10 cpi, one inch of text contains about 17 characters instead of the
normal 10. These commands are valid for either draft or LQ printing.
