Oversize Characters Feature

Using this feature, you can increase the size of your selected font from 1 times to 127 times the original size. One global command determines the character size; a second global command prints the oversize characters.

Set Oversize Character Scale Factor

Escape sequence:	ESC	DLE	C	P	p1	p2	ETX
Hexadecimal:	1B	10	43	50	p1	p2	03

This command defines the horizontal and vertical scale factors which determine the size of the characters printed by the Print Oversize Character command.

The p1 variable is the vertical scale factor (1 byte), from 1 to 127; the default is 2. The p2 variable is the horizontal scale factor (1 byte), from 1 to 127; the default is 2. If either variable is set to less than 1 or more than 127, the value defaults to 2.
