1) The printer deletes the rightmost dots of a character during double-width mode, if another
character follows.
If the characters shown above are double-width enlarged (dots exist on the rightmost position), the
rightmost dots of the enlarged character are not printed, as shown in the figure below.
Example: When 7

Double-width

Dots are not printed when another character follows.
Dots are printed when no character follows. (Except
dots on the 401st dot position)

2) The printer cannot print horizontally adjacent half dots. A special procedure that avoids
horizontally adjacent half dots is used when print data is buffered in the print buffer. Therefore,
some dots in the character that follows the characters prescribed above are affected by the
previous dots and are not printed.
Also, when double-height mode is selected, the dots affected by the previous dots are not
printed, as shown in the following figure, because double-height processing is carried out during
printing after the print pattern is buffered in the print buffer. To avoid this, program the software
so that half dots are not adjoined horizontally. (For example, set the right side spacing of a
character to 1 or more (with
ESC SP
), etc.) In this case, note that the total number of dots in the
horizontal direction is 400 dots.
