ESC G
Begin Vertical Emphasized Printing (Double Strike)
ESC
G changes the printer to vertical emphasized
printing
mode.
This
mode
is
used to simulate the appearance of double strike
text which is printed on
a
wire
matrix printer. Each
text character
is expanded slightly in the vertical direction
within its assigned
printing position to give it a bolder or darker
appearance.
Vertical
and
horizontal emphasized printing modes may
be
combined
to
enlarge the character in
both the
vertical and
horizontal
direction.
This
gives the character
an
even
bolder
or
darker
appearance.
Vertical emphasized printing
mode
is ended by the ESCH
(End
Vertical
Emphasized Printing)
command or when
the
printer is ini-
tialized.
