Epson 8900 Series manual Cancel Compressed Print

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.
