Bold Print is the same as printing double strike. Bold character printing reĆ
duces print speed to half.
Superscript or subscript characters on the same line will cause the bold funcĆ
tion to be implemented by a vertical shadow" rather than a double strike. In
this case, many symbols are difficult to read. Bold attribute is not recomĆ
mended for use on lines containing superscript or subscript.
