Different sizes of type are possible using the ESC z command,

which allows you to double or triple the height and/or width of each

character. The first number in the command controls the width; the

second

controls the height. For normal width or height, use a 1;

for double-wide or double-high

use a 2; for triple-wide or

high, use a 3.

The GQ-3500 can print any combination of standard-, double- and

triple-height and width. The program below shows some examples.
