Elongated Characters (Double High Print)

Elongated Characters (Double High Print)

ASCII Code BS		SO
Hex Code	08	0E
Dec Code	8	14
NOTE: Configure this feature from the control panel.
Purpose	Selects elongated (double high) character printing for one line.
Comment	The Elongated Character control code can be placed anywhere
	in the data line before the line terminator. Following the line
	terminator, the printer automatically selects the default print
	mode. Consequently, the Elongated Character control code
	must be sent for each line of elongated characters. Elongated

characters cannot be mixed with standard characters on the same print line.

The current line spacing is doubled for one line.

This code can occur anywhere in the datastream and is acted upon immediately. It is cancelled by an SI code or a paper motion command.

Example

Form Feed

ASCII Code FF

Hex Code 0C

Dec Code 12

Purpose Prints the data in the buffer, advances the paper position to the next top-of-form and moves the logical printhead to the first character column.

Comment The default forms length is determined by the configuration in nonvolatile memory. Forms length is set by using the control panel or VFU. Code FF cancels all single-line only print attributes.

The Form Feed command reacts differently when the VFU is active. (See Chapter 9, “Vertical Page Formatting.”)
