Purpose Selects
elongated (double high) character printing for one line only
. Elongated char
-
acters are approximately double height but standard width.
Comment The
elongated character control
code is a linebyline print attribute; when the con
-
trol code is received, one entire line of elongated characters is printed and then auto
-
matically
reset.
In
PSeries protocol, elongated characters are formed by printing twice the number
of
dot rows except for the top and bottom rows. In Serial Matrix protocol, elongated
characters
are formed by printing twice the number of dot rows,
including
the top
and bottom rows.
When
configured for
double high print, PSeries control code BS (Hex 08) also se
-
lects elongated character printing for a single line.
When
using this feature with relative line
slewing, the paper moves
n
+ 1 lines rather
than n lines. Refer to the Vertical Format Units chapter for more information on
relative
line slewing. When using small line
spacing and the lines overlap, an unex
-
pected print format may result.
