head moves across the paper, with the second dot printed slightly to the
right of the first. This process produces darker, more fully formed
characters.
In double-strike mode, the print head goes over each line twice, making
the
text bolder. For
even
greater boldness, emphasized and double-strike
can
be combined. The following samples show the different effects you
can achieve.
This is ROMAN printing.
This is ROMAN emphasized.
This is ROMAN double-strike.

Underlining
The underline mode automatically underlines any piece of text. It
underlines spaces, subscripts, and superscripts without a break.
This is continuous underlining.
Superscripts and Subscripts
Superscripts and subscripts can be used for printing footnote numbers
and mathematical formulas. The example below
shows
underlining,
superscripts, and subscripts combined in a mathematical formula.
