Character Style and Text Mode Control Codes
Character style and text mode control codes affect the appearance of text on the
printed page, including:
• italic, underlined, double-strike (boldface) or double-width printing.
• font pitch, including Pica, Elite, Condensed, or Compressed modes.
• intercharacter space (to the right of each character).
• superscript and subscript modes.

on each page.

Select Condensed Character Mode
Description: Selects condensed mode, which prints characters at approximately 60% of the normal
width. Enabling this mode results in the following character pitch values:
• Condensed mode: 17 characters per inch (approximate)
• Condensed + Double-wide mode: 9 characters per inch (approximate)
• Condensed + Elite mode: 20 characters per inch (approximate)
This function empties the print buffer and turns on Condensed Character Mode. This
mode stays on until canceled (by Cancel Condensed Character Mode).

Select Double-Strike Mode
Description: Enables double-strike printing until the printer encounters a cancel control code.

twice, with the second dot slightly below the first dot. This mode is not available in LQ,
but is not canceled when you select LQ.
