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:	0E
Escape Sequence:	ESC	SO
Hexadecimal:	1B	0E

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.
