characters and regular characters is that they are smaller. They are a
maximum of
16
dots high and their width in dot columns is shown in
Table

Since super/subscript characters are smaller, they don’t require as
much information when you define them. When you define super/
subscript characters, you need only two bytes of data for each vertical
row of dots. Design grids for these characters are shown in Figure
6-8.

Mixing print styles
Each of the three user-defined character modes (draft, Letter Qual-
ity, and proportional) can be used in combination with most of the
LQ’s various print styles. For instance, emphasized works with user-
defined characters. The characters you design are enhanced to give
this printing effect.
