Emphasized And Double-Strike Printing - Epson FX-1050 User Manual

The double-wide mode doubles the width of any size characters. This
mode is useful for such purposes as emphasizing headings in reports and
making displays, but is usually not suitable for large amounts of text.

This is double-high.

Widening or narrowing the characters also widens or narrows the spaces

space margin using double-wide characters.

Emphasized and double-strike printing

Emphasized and double-strike printing give your documents added
emphasis. In emphasized mode, the FX prints each character twice as the
print head moves across the paper, with the second printed slightly to the
right of the first. This process produces darker, more fully formed
characters.
