Character style and text mode control codes affect the appearance of text on the
printed page, including:
•
italic, underlined, double-strike (boldface) or double-width printing.
•
font pitch, including Pica, Elite, Condensed, or Compressed modes.
•
intercharacter space (to the right of each character).
•
superscript and subscript modes.
Selects condensed mode, which prints characters at approximately 60% of the normal
width. Enabling this mode results in the following character pitch values:
•
Condensed mode: 17 characters per inch (approximate)
•
Condensed + Double-wide mode: 9 characters per inch (approximate)
•
Condensed + Elite mode: 20 characters per inch (approximate)
This function empties the print buffer and turns on Condensed Character Mode. This
mode stays on until canceled (by Cancel Condensed Character Mode).

Enables double-strike printing until the printer encounters a cancel control code.
Double-strike printing is disabled by factory default. Text is bolded by printing each dot
twice, with the second dot slightly below the first dot. This mode is not available in LQ,
but is not canceled when you select LQ.
