H Italic printing

Italic letters are letters that are slanted to the right. SR-lo/15 can print all of its letters except NLQ characters in italic as well as the roman (standerd) letters you are accustomed to. Italics can be used to give extra emphasis to certain words. The corn- mand codes to turn italic on and off are shown in Table 5-2.
