The elongated character control code is a line-by-line print attribute; when
the control code is received, one entire line of elongated characters is printed
and then automatically reset. Elongated characters are formed by printing
twice the number of dot rows, except the top and bottom rows are not dupli
cated in P-Series printer protocol.
P-Series control code BS (Hex 08) also selects elongated character printing
for a single line.
