Comment

This expanded print control code is a line-by-line print attribute;

 

when the SO or ESC SO control code is received, the current

 

line is printed double wide and automatically reset.

This control code can be reset by a paper motion control code (LF, VT, CR, etc.), by the DC4 (double wide cancel) code, ESC

@(Emulation Reset), CAN or ESC W (double wide print). When set by SO, double wide print is not cancelled by the Autowrap feature.
