EscWn (27)(87)n <1Bh><57h>n
•
This command turns double-width printing on or off.
•
If n is set to 1 subsequent text is printed using double-width characters. The line spacing setting is
doubled.
•
If n is set to 0 subsequent text is printed using normal sized characters. The previous character pitch
setting is restored.
•
When you specify a value for n you may also use the character codes for ‘0’ and ‘1’ (48 and 49)
instead of 0 and 1.
•
Only Esc W 0 can be used to cancel double-width printing mode set using the Esc W 1 instruction.
•
Esc W 0 cancels double-width printing mode set using the Esc W 1 instruction, the SO control code
or the Esc SO instruction.
LPRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(87); CHR$(1); 'Set double-width printing mode
Select single-line double-width printing (I)
SO (27) <0Eh>
•
This command turns double-width printing mode on for one line only. The subsequent line of text is
printed using double-width characters and with the line spacing setting doubled.
•
The following commands cancel double-width printing mode set using the SO control code: LF , FF ,
VT , Esc W 0 , DC4 , and ESC @ .
• If the “auto LF” (automatic line feed) function has been turned on from the control panel, the carriage
return control code,
CR , will also cancel double-width printing mode selected with the SO control
code.

escape sequence.
•
This command functions exactly like the SO control code.
LPRINT CHR$(27); CHR$(14); 'Set double-width printing mode for one line
Cancel single-line double-width printing
DC4 (20) <14h>
•
This control code cancels single-line double-width mode set with the SO control code or with the Esc
SO escape sequence. Subsequent text is printed using normal sized characters.
