printer command sent from an application program or programming
language.
Be aware that widening or narrowing characters also widens or
narrows the spaces between words and letters. Word processors usually
create a left margin by printing spaces. If you change character widths,
you may need to adjust the number of characters on a line.
Special effects and emphasis
The LQ-2500 offers two ways of emphasizing text. It
can also print
underlining, superscripts, and subscripts. These features are controlled
by printer commands, but many application programs can produce
them if the program is properly installed.
Emphasized and double-strike are the two modes that give added
emphasis. In emphasized mode, the print head prints each dot twice as
it moves across the paper. The second dot is printed slightly to the right
of the first, producing darker, more fully formed characters.
In double-strike mode, the print head goes over each line twice,
making the text bolder. The following examples compare emphasized
and double-strike.
Emphasized produces darker characters.
Double-strike produces bolder characters.
The underline mode provides an automatic way of fully underlining
any piece of text, as shown below. It underlines spaces, subscripts, and
superscripts without a break. Most word processors take advantage of
this feature, but some programs use the underline character instead. If
this happens, check your program for an underlining option.
This is continuous underlining.
