If you intend to print an entire document in italics, you may choose to select this
printing style in Menu Select mode.
Use the outline and shadow effects to produce more interesting and stylish headings.
They can be combined together as well as with emphasised and /or enhanced printing
for an even more striking effect.
Note: Outline and shadow printing commands can only be used for
printing characters, they cannot be used to print line graphics.
Character pitch, or width, is measured in Characters Per Inch (CPI). For example, at
10 CPI, each character is
1
/10 inch wide. The double width and compressed printing
commands interact with the basic pitches listed above to produce a range of character
widths. See the Character Width table below for all possible widths.
