Only 10 cpi, underline, and double-wide can be used with
high-speed draft printing.
For example, to print a title you may want to use double-wide 12
cpi characters and print them in double-strike mode. You would
add three decimal numbers together to calculate the value of n. ^
n = 49
After calculating the value of n, you use the Master Select ^
command to send the value to the printer. ^

IB 21 31
The font must be set separately by using the BSC x and BSC k
commands. The draft font printing speed must be set using DIP
switch 1-5 (see the section on setting the DIP switches in Chapter
3^.
There are two more things to consider when using the Master
Select command:
Master Select cancels any of the listed features that you do not
set. For example, if you have already set 12 cpi character
spacing, and you use Master Select to set emphasized double-
strike printing, the character spacing is reset to 10 cpi.
For more information on sending BSCape codes to your printer, see
Chapter 9.
