Elongated (Double High) Print (One Line Only)

ASCII Code ESC h

Hex Code

Dec Code

Purpose

Selects elongated (double high) character printing for one line

 

only. Elongated characters are approximately double height but

 

standard width.

Comment

The elongated character control code is a line-by-line print

 

attribute; when the control code is received, one entire line of

 

elongated characters is printed and then automatically reset.

 

When using this feature with relative line slewing, the paper

 

position is moved n + 1 lines rather than n lines. See Chapter 9,

 

“Vertical Page Formatting,” for more information on relative line

 

slewing. When using small line spacing and the lines overlap, an

 

unexpected print format may result.

Example

The following sample illustrates elongated character printing.
