Commodore MPS 1200 - Print Density

PRINT DENSITY
When printing text, it is sometimes desirable to have some words
stand out darker than the rest. Headlines are often printed in
boldface, for example.
The MPS 1200 has two features that allow
you to vary the darkness, or density, of the print: emphasized and
doubles trike print. For very dark printing, you can use both at
once.

In emphasized print, the characters are double-printed in one pass.
Each character is printed a second time offset slightly to the right so
that the dots overlap and produce a shadow effect.
When proportional printing is in effect, the characters are automati-
cally printed in emphasized mode.
