1) The printer deletes the right-most dots of a character during double-width mode, if another
character follows.
If the characters shown above are double-width enlarged (dots exist in the right-most
position), the right-most dots of the enlarged character are not printed, as shown in the figure
below.
Example: 7 × 9 font is selected

dots are not printed when another character follows.
Dots are printed when no character follows. (except dots on 401st dot position)

2) The printer cannot print horizontally adjacent half dots. A special procedure that avoids
horizontally adjacent half dots is used when print data is buffered in the print buffer. Therefore,
some dots of the character that follows the characters prescribed above are not printed
because of the affect of the previous dots. Also, when double-height mode is selected, the
dots affected by the previous dots are not printed, as shown in the following figure, because
double-height processing is carried out during printing after the print pattern is buffered in the
print buffer. To avoid this, program the software so that half dots are not adjoined horizontally.
(For example, set the right side spacing of a character to 1 or more (ESC SP), etc.) In this case
the user should Note that the total number of dots in the horizontal direction is 400 dots.
