Font Handling and Enhancements
ESC [ p1; p2 SP B GSM (Graphic Size Modification):
This sequence modifies the
vertical <p1> and horizontal <p2> size of expanded and oversize
characters. When using expanded characters, the currently selected
font style is used. Oversize uses its own distinct font style.
Parameter values are percentages of the normal size character, so
values over 100 are needed for expansion. Expansion factors are
obtained by dividing values by 100.
Example: A parameter value of 526 would be divided by 100 to
produce an expansion factor of 5 (5X expansion). Values less than
100 are treated as 1X expansion.

vertical paper movement (line feed). The top or bottom of oversize
characters can be used depending on the state of menu option
