In double-strike mode, the printer prints each character twice, the second
time slightly below the first, making the text bolder. For even greater
boldness, you can combine emphasized and double-strike. (Double-strike
cannot be combined with NLQ mode, however.)
Italic printing
You can use italic characters for special emphasis or as an alternative
typeface. ESC 4 turns on the italic mode even if the current DIP switch
setting is set to the Epson Extended Graphics character table.
This sentence is in italics.
Underlining
The underline mode automatically underlines any piece of text. It
underlines spaces, subscripts, and superscripts. (The printer does not,
however, underline horizontal tabs.)
Superscripts and subscripts
Superscripts and subscripts can be used for printing footnote numbers
and mathematical formulas. The example below combines underlining,
superscripts, and subscripts in a mathematical formula.
