Enhancing Your Printing
For example, to print a title, you may want to use double-width
12 cpi characters and print them in double-strike mode. You
would add three numbers together to calculate the value of n:
12 cpi
Double-strike
Double-width
After calculating the value of n, you would use the Master
Select command to send the value to the printer.
ASCII code:
Decimal:
Hexadecimal:
The print quality and font must be set separately, either using
SelecType or the ESC x and ESC k commands. There are two
more things to consider when using the Master Select command:
Master Select cancels any of the listed features that you do
l
not try to set. For example, if you have already set a
character width other than 10 cpi, and you use Master Select
to set emphasized double-strike, the character width is reset
to 10 cpi.
Proportional overrides 10, 12, and 15 cpi.
