Description ➊ This code sequence switches the printer to emphasized mode. During printing in emphasized mode, each character is printed twice, slightly shifted in horizontal direction. Since the needles in the print head are fired twice (instead of once as in standard mode), print speed is reduced.

This code sequence is ignored if received while the printer is already in emphasized mode.

Emphasized mode plus condensed or Elite is not possible.

➋This code sequence resets the emphasized mode initiated by ESC E or ESC ! (Master Select).

This code sequence is ignored if the printer is not in emphasized mode.
