Description	➊ This code sequence switches the printer to double strike mode. In double strike mode
		characters are printed in two printing passes at the same horizontal position; thus print
		appears thicker and fuller. Print speed is reduced since the characters are printed
		twice.
		Double strike mode can be used in combination with emphasized mode (ESC E).
		Double strike mode is reset when the printer receives the code sequence ESC H.
	➋ This code sequence resets the double strike mode set by ESC G or ESC !.
		This code sequence is ignored when the printer is not in double strike mode.
