Print EnhancementsIn addition to the widths covered, the LQ offers many print enhancements.Emphasized mode

In the emphasized mode the LQ prints each dot twice, with the second dot slightly to the right of the first. In order to do this, the print head must slow down so that it has time to fire, retract, and fire the pins quickly enough to produce the overlapping dots. This method produces characters that are darker than single-strike characters.
