Enhancing Your Printing

Emphasized and double-strike printing

Emphasized and double-strike give your printing added emphasis. In emphasized mode, the SQ-850 and SQ-2550 print each character twice as the print head moves across the paper, with the second character offset slightly to the right of the first. This process produces darker, more fully formed characters.

In double-strike mode, the print head goes over each line twice, making the text bolder. For even greater boldness, emphasized and double-strike can be combined. The following samples show the different effects you can achieve both alone and in combination.
