Note: High-speed draft will temporarily switch to normal draft
speed if condensed or double-wide printing is selected.
Emphasized and double-strike printing
Emphasized and double-strike printing give your documents
added emphasis. If your word processing program lets you print
bold, it probably uses the DFX-5000’s emphasized or double-strike
command.
In emphasized mode, the DFX-5000 prints each character twice as
the print head moves across the paper. The second character is
printed slightly to the right of the first to produce darker, more
fully formed characters. In double-strike mode, the printer prints
each character twice, the second time slightly below the first, to
make the text bolder. For even greater boldness, you can combine
emphasized and double-strike.
Here is an example of emphasized and double-strike printing:
This is normal draft printing.
This is emphasized draft printing.
This is double-strike in draft mode.
This is double-strike and emphasized combined.
Note: Double-strike is ignored when combined with NLQ
printing. Also, high-speed draft will temporarily switch to
normal draft speed if emphasized or double-strike printing is
selected.
