%Double Width
Double Width
Use these commands to produce characters twice as wide as regular characters. They can be used with
any of the character pitches. For example, if the current pitch is 12 cpi, double width characters will print
at 6 cpi. The "Character Width Values" table on page 74 shows all the possible combinations.The
one-line double width commands are especially convenient for titles and headlines, since they turn off the
double width printing automatically at the end of the line. If you want to cancel one-line double width
printing before the line ends, send the command DC4 or ESC W 0. You can also cancel one-line double
width printing with the command LF (see page 92) or ESC ! n (see page 81).
nOTE: The DC4 command will have no effect if you have engaged double width printing with the ESC W
1 or the ESC ! n command; in these cases, only the ESC W 0 or ESC ! n command will cancel double
printing.
You can also use the ESC ! n command (see page 81) or the Menu Select Mode to choose continuous
double width printing.
