Printronix MVP Series user manual 08H Elongated Characters, With Forms Length

08H — Elongated Characters

To form elongated characters, include Control Code 08H in the character line, which will cause each dot row to be printed twice (except the top dot row of uppercase characters and the bottom dot row of lowercase characters), and keep the number of dot columns to remain the same as in standard characters.

NOTE: Elongated characters and standard characters cannot be printed on the same line.

Elongated characters are printed at reduced speeds with an actual line spacing of 3 lpi and 4 lpi for the 6 lpi and 8 lpi settings, respectively.

With Forms Length

The forms length control is maintained because the control code (08H) is used on a line–by–line basis; that is, it must appear in each line to be printed in an elongated form. Therefore, the code may be placed anywhere in the line preceding the line terminator.
