Star Micronics SB-15 user manual Summary, Control code

Line 20 turns on double-strike with < ESC > “G” and line 30 prints a line of text. In line 40 emphasized is turned on with

<ESC > “E”. Line 50 prints a line of text in double-strike and emphasized. Line 60 then turns double-strike off with < ESC > “H” so that line 70 can print in emphasized only. Finally, line 80 turns emphasized off, so that SD-IO/l5 is set for normal printing.

Look closely at the different lines of printing. In the line of double-strike printing each character has been printed twice, and they are moved down just slightly the second time they are printed.

In emphasized printing, they are moved slightly to the right the second time SD- lo/ 15 prints. The last line combined both of these so that each character was printed 4 times. Now that’s pretty nice printing, isn’t it?
