Both
of
the
MPS
1200's pitches can be expanded to twice their
normal
width. In expanded print, the
width
of
the characters and
the spaces are doubled.
This
means the
maximum
number
of
characters per line
is
cut
in half.
Expanded
pica prints 5 characters per inch, so you can
print
a
maximum
of
40 characters per line
on
the
MPS
1200. Expanded
elite prints 6 characters per inch, for a
maximum
of
48 characters
per
line.
The
command
to select expanded
print
is
ESC
W.
Like the
NLQ
command,
the expanded
print
command
uses a 1 and 0
as
its
on
and
off
switches. Sending
ESC
WI
to the
MPS
1200 turns
on
expanded
print; sending
ESC
WO
turns
off
expanded print.
