Character Attributes
There are other ways to vary the appearance of your printing
besides selecting different fonts and sizes. The attributes in this section
can be used with any font.
Bold type
You may want to make some words or headlines stand out by
using
bold type. This is done with the ESC E command; the ESC F command
returns printing to normal. No numeric parameters are needed with
these co
mmands;
just embed them anywhere in your text files and the
characters between them will print in bold face.
Underlining
The GQ-3500 has an automatic underlining
feature that underlines
all characters (and the spaces that separate them). Underlining is
useful for giving greater emphasis to some portions of your text. The
command to begin underlining is
ESC
- 1. To stop underling, use
ESC-O.
Background patterns
Another way to change the appearance of
your print
is to print a
background pattern behind part of your text. The GQ-3500 has six pre-
defined background patterns and reverse (white type on a black
background). All are shown on the next page. It is also possible to
define two of your own background patterns.
