Turns double strike mode on for the slip station. Overprints a second pass of the print line
on the slip station to improve penetration of multi-part forms and increase print contrast.
The second pass is printed the same direction as the first to ensure accuracy of the
overprint. The printer is reset to the standard print mode after a line has been printed or
after a Clear Printer (0x10) command is received.
Example:
MSComm1.Output = Chr$(&H1B) & Chr$(&H47) & Chr$(n)
Exceptions:
These settings do not apply in Page Mode. However they can be set or cleared in Page
Mode.
Double-strike printing cannot be used with bit-images or downloaded bit-images.
This command functions the same as the 7156 when the printer is in 7156 Emulation
Mode. In Native Mode, the command takes a parameter to enable and disable it.

Printer output is the same as in Emphasized Mode.
