Purpose Selects bold character printing.
Comment When
the bold character printing control code is received, all characters are printed
in
bold until reset by the
bold print reset control code or printer reset. Bold Print is
the
same as printing double strike. Bold character printing may reduce print speed
to
half.
SFCC j selects bold print for the current line
only
. When this code is received, all
characters
are printed in bold until reset by
the bold print reset control code, printer
reset, or a paper motion command.
Superscript or subscript characters implement the bold function with a vertical
“shadow”
rather than a double strike. The bold attribute has no af
fect on
superscript
or
subscript characters themselves.
Example The following sample program illustrates bold character printing.
