Line 20 turns on boldface with < ESC > “G” and line 30
prints a line of text. In line 40 emphasized is turned on with
--c ESC > “E”. Line 50 prints a line of text in boldface and
emphasized. Line 60 then turns boldface off with < ESC > “H”
so that line 70 can print in emphasized only. Finally, line 80
turns emphasized off, so your printer is set for normal printing.
Look closely at the different lines of printing. In the line
of boldface printing each character has been printed twice,
‘and the paper was moved up slightly the second time they
were printed. In emphasized printing, the characters are moved
slightly to the right the second time the printer prints. The
second line combined both of these so that each character
was printed 4 times.

vidually and together. Now we’ll see how to combine them
more efficiently.
