Expanded Mode - Epson FX-80 User Manual

Expanded Mode
Here is another variation on print width; this one, called Expanded
Mode, doubles the width of the current mode. Since it can be com-
bined with all three pitches, Expanded Mode doubles the number of
available print pitches. (Note: Expanded Mode is the same as "Double
Width print" on the MX printers. A rose by any other name ... ).
To see Expanded characters, type in:

The printer actually extends the dot matrix by spreading the dots hori-
zontally to twice their normal distances apart and adds a duplicate of
each dot to the next full dot position (see Figure 3-6).
