(20) Setting and canceling underscores for enlarged characters: DC4 DC4 u
Format: ASCII DC4 DC4 un
Hex 14 14 75 n
Decimal 20 20 117 n
Function: Sets and cancels the underscore function.
n = 00H, 30H: Cancels underscoring.
01H, 31H: Specifies the underscoring.
The MSB of the parameter is masked. Any sequences other than the
above parameters are ignored.
An underscore is drawn on the 25th pin line at a thickness of (1 dot x
length expansion of the character).
No underscores are printed if the enlarged character rotational angle is not
set to 0 degree. Underscoring is off by default.
(21) Enlarged character width expansion: DC4 DC4 w
Format: ASCII DC4 DC4 wn
Hex 14 14 77 n
Decimal 20 20 119 n
Function: Specifies the width expansion of enlarged characters.

The MSB of the parameter is masked.
If n is set to 0, the magnification specified in the setup mode is selected.
This command is ignored if the PITCH LOCK option is set to YES in the
EXTENDED SETUP MODE.
The expansion specified in the setup mode is set by default.
(22) Horizontal printing position for enlarged characters: DC4 DC4 x
Format: ASCII DC4 DC4 x m n1 n2
Hex 14 14 78 mn1 n2
Decimal 20 20 120 mn1n2
Function: Specifies the horizontal position for printing enlarged
characters by (n1 + n2 x 256)/180” as shown below.
m = SP(20)H: Absolute printing position
-(2D)H: Relative lefthand printing position
+(2B)H: Relative righthand printing position
