Enhancing Your Printing
Emphasized and double-strike printing
Emphasized and double-strike give your printing added
emphasis. In emphasized mode, the SQ-850 and SQ-2550 print
each character twice as the print head moves across the paper,
with the second character offset slightly to the right of the first.
This process produces darker, more fully formed characters.
In double-strike mode, the print head goes over each line twice,
making the text bolder. For even greater boldness, emphasized
and double-strike can be combined. The following samples
show the different effects you can achieve both alone and in
combination.
This is ROMAN printing.
This is ROMAN, emphasized.
