Causes subsequent characters to be printed in double-strike mode with a slight vertical paper motion in between, causing a thickening of hori-

zontal strokes. For bold print, use of double-strike is recommended in

LQ mode, and combined use of emphasized and double-strike is recom-

mended in draft mode. Double-strike cannot be used with superscripts or subscripts.
