For example, to print a title, you may want to use double-wide 12
cpi characters and print them in double-strike mode. You add three
numbers together to calculate the value of
IZ:
12
cpi

Double-strike 16
Double-wide

= 49
After calculating the value of
IZ,
you use the Master Select command
to send the value to the printer.

The print quality and font must be set separately, either using
SelecType or the ESC x and ESC k commands. There are two more
things to consider when using the Master Select command:
l Master Select cancels any of the listed features that you do not
try to set. For example, if you have already set a character size
other than 10 cpi and you use Master Select to set emphasized
double-strike, the character width is reset to 10 cpi.
l Proportional overrides 10, 12, and 15 cpi.
