The command above sets or cancels expanded printing, where or> is a binary or
ASCII value in the range OOh through 02h or “0” through “2”. The effect of this
command is shown in the table below:

The command above selects a “Master print” mode, where 01> is a binary value
composed of the addition of the following bit settings:
Bit Value Value Function Effect when Effect when

Hence, if condensed italic underlined print is required at 12cpi, the values of bits 2,
6,7 and 0 must be added together. This comes to (in decimal) 4+64+ 128+ 1 = 197,
or (in hexadecimal) 04h+4Oh+8Oh+Olh=C5h. The master mode is hence a useful
way of selecting a number of print parameters simultaneously.
