Purpose

Selects double wide print for one line only.

Comment

This control code is a line-by-line print attribute; when SO or

 

ESC SO is received, the characters on the current line print

 

twice as wide, then automatically reset.

This control code is cancelled by the DC4 code or by a CR code, as in the Epson FX-1050. It is also cancelled by a paper motion control code (LF, VT, etc.), as in the IBM Proprinter III XL.

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 + 1 dot + space)

Epson Emulation 2(char + 1 dot) + space

Example The following sample illustrates double wide print for one line only.

Purpose Cancels the double wide print for one line only selected by SO or

ESC SO.

Comment This command cancels the double wide print selected by SO or ESC SO, but does not cancel double wide printing selected by ESC W or ESC !.
