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.
When SFCC j is used, bold printing is selected for one line only and reset by
the
bold print reset control code, printer reset, or a paper motion command.
Superscript/subscript characters will cause the bold function to be impleĆ
mented
by a vertical shadow" rather than a double strike. The bold attribute
has
no affect on superscript or subscript characters themselves.
Example
The following sample program illustrates bold character printing.
