Like the Epson FX-1050, this control code doubles the character
width. Unlike the Epson FX-1050, however, this code does
not
double the inter-character spacing. The formulas for total
character spacing are as follows:
Epson FX-1050 2(char +1dot+space)
Epson Emulation 2(char +1dot) +space
Example The following sample illustrates double wide character printing.
