08H Elongated Characters
To form elongated characters, include Control Code 08H in the character
line, which will cause each dot row to be printed twice (except the top dot
row of uppercase characters and the bottom dot row of lowercase characters),
and keep the number of dot columns to remain the same as in standard
characters.
NOTE: Elongated characters and standard characters cannot be printed on
the same line.
Elongated characters are printed at reduced speeds with an actual line
spacing of 3 lpi and 4 lpi for the 6 lpi and 8 lpi settings, respectively.
With Forms Length
The forms length control is maintained because the control code (08H) is
used on a linebyline basis; that is, it must appear in each line to be printed
in an elongated form. Therefore, the code may be placed anywhere in the line
preceding the line terminator.
