In expanded print, characters are printed at twice their
normal width. Both characters
and
the spaces are doubled.
This means the maximum number of characters per line is
cut in half. Table 4-1 shows the character widths possible
using expanded print.
The command uses a 1 and 0 as its on and off switches.
Using ESC
W1
turns on expanded print; ESC WO turns off
expanded print. Since the 1 and the 0 work as on and off
switches rather than actual characters, you can substitute
CHR$(1) and CHR$(0) for their actual ASCII codes, if you
like.
Expanded print can also be selected with ESC!
