Purpose Selects elongated (double high) character printing for one line only. ElonĆ
gated
characters are approximately double height but standard width.
Comment The
elongated character control code is a line-by-line print attribute;
when
the control code is received, one entire line of elongated characters is printed
and
then automatically reset.
In P-Series protocol, elongated characters are formed by printing twice the
number
of dot rows except for the top and bottom rows. In
Serial Matrix pro
Ć
tocol, elongated characters are formed by printing twice the number of dot
rows, including
the top and bottom rows.
When configured for double high print, P-Series control code BS (Hex 08)
also
selects elongated character printing for a single line.
When
using this feature with relative line slewing, the paper will be moved 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 unexpected print format may result.
Example
The following sample program illustrates elongated character printing.
