When the bold character printing control code is received, all characters are
printed in bold until reset by the bold print reset control code or printer reset.
Bold Print is the same as printing double strike. Bold character printing re
duces print speed to half.
Superscript or subscript characters on the same line will cause the bold func
tion to be implemented by a vertical shadow" rather than a double strike. In
this case, many symbols are difficult to read. Bold attribute is not recom
mended for use on lines containing superscript or subscript.
The following sample program illustrates bold character printing set and re
set.
