Character Attributes

Emphasized Mode ESC E n

Selects emphasized mode for n=1, or cancels for n=0. Emphasized mode makes characters bolder by printing an extra dot to the right of each dot normally found in the character matrix. This will cut the print speed in half, but will not require an additional pass of the print head. Overrides the “Impact Force” value in the forms menu.

Example: The following escape sequence will select emphasized mode.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	E	1
Hexadecimal:	1B	45	31
Double-Strike Mode			ESC D n

Selects double-strike mode for n=1, or cancels for n=0. Double-strike mode makes text bolder by printing it twice. This will cut the print speed in half, because an additional pass of the print head will be required.

Example: The following escape sequence will select double-strike mode.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	D	1
Hexadecimal:	1B	44	31
Underline Mode			ESC _ n

Selects underline mode for n=1, or cancels for n =0. This mode provides continuous underlining for all characters, including spaces.

Example: The following escape sequence will turn underlining on.

Escape Sequence:	ESC	_	1
Hexadecimal:	1B	5F	31
