This is standard printing.

This is emphasized printing.

Emphasized is an especially good method for emphasizing a word or phrase in the draft mode as shown in the printout below. The code to turn off emphasized is ESCape “F”.

In the draft mode

emphasized makes a

word stand out.

Double-strike

The other bold mode is double-strike. For this mode the LQ prints each line, then moves the paper up slightly and prints the line again.

Each dot is printed twice, with the second one slightly below the first as you can see if you run this program, which uses ESCape “G” to turn on double-strike.

Since each line in this mode is printed twice, the speed of your printing is slowed. The code to turn off double-strike is ESCape “H”.
