Printronix ThermaLine Series manual Expanded Print, NORMAL, Execute

Expanded Print

Purpose	Selects font sizes other than the default font.
Mode	NORMAL, EXECUTE
Format	(cc)EXPAND; VE; HE
	(cc)	The Special Function Control Character.
	EXPAND	The Expanded Print command; enter EXPAND.
	VE	Specifies the vertical expansion factor; enter a value
		ranging from 0 to 139.
	HE	Specifies the horizontal expansion factor; enter a value
		ranging from 0 to 139. Both VE and HE parameters
		must be zero or non±zero. One expansion value cannot
		be specified as 0 if the other is not. A VE or HE setting
		of 1 expands the appropriate plane but produces
		single±size characters. A VE and HE setting of 0
		produces standard±size characters.
Comments	The Expanded Print command uses the 0.10±inch, 10 cpi Gothic typeface
	as the default base value from which alphanumeric characters are
	expanded. (Refer to the Font command on page 4±61 for more information
	about available typefaces and styles.)
	The character height can be up to a maximum of 13.9 inches, which means
	if a page is 13.9 inches high, you can print a character that fills the entire
	height of the page.
	After an Expanded Print command is entered, all subsequent alphanumerics
	print at the specified expansion until another Expanded Print command, a
	Normal mode command, or a Reset command is entered. An Expanded
	Print command with VE and HE set to 0 selects standard character printing.
Example	The following command results in character printing at 25 times its vertical
	and 40 times its horizontal size.
