Purpose Selects elongated (double high) character printing for one line only. ElonĆ
gated characters are approximately double height but standard width.
Comment The elongated character control code is a line-by-line print attribute; when
the control code is received, one entire line of elongated characters is printed
and then automatically reset.
In P-Series protocol, elongated characters are formed by printing twice the
number of dot rows except for the top and bottom rows. In Serial Matrix proĆ
tocol, elongated characters are formed by printing twice the number of dot
rows, including the top and bottom rows.
When configured for double high print, P-Series control code BS (Hex 08)
also selects elongated character printing for a single line.
When using this feature with relative line slewing, the paper will be moved n +
1 lines rather than n lines. Refer to the Vertical Format Units chapter for
more information on relative line slewing. When using small line spacing and
the lines overlap, an unexpected print format may result.
Example The following sample program illustrates elongated character printing.
