Purpose

Selects elongated (double high) character printing for one line only. Elongated char-

 

acters are approximately double height but standard width.

Comment

The elongated character control code is a line–by–line print attribute; when the con-

 

trol code is received, one entire line of elongated characters is printed and then auto-

 

matically reset.

 

In P–Series protocol, elongated characters are formed by printing twice the number

 

of dot rows except for the top and bottom rows. In Serial Matrix protocol, elongated

 

characters are formed by printing twice the number of dot rows, including the top

 

and bottom rows.

 

When configured for double high print, P–Series control code BS (Hex 08) also se-

 

lects elongated character printing for a single line.

 

When using this feature with relative line slewing, the paper moves n + 1 lines rather

 

than n lines. Refer to the Vertical Format Units chapter for more information on

 

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

 

pected print format may result.

Example

The following sample program illustrates elongated character printing.
