darker, bolder look that's useful when you want to call at-
tention to a word or phrase.
Each
character is printed
twice, with the second printing slightly offset from the first.
In enhanced print, each character is printed twice by shift-
ing the dots vertically
.
To program enhanced printing use a
CHR$(27);"H" command.
To
stop it, use the CHR$(27);"I"
command.
In emphasized printing, each character has a slight hori-
zontal offset. To start emphasized printing, use the
CHR$(27);"T" command. To stop it, use the CHR$(27);"I"
command.
You can combine emphasized and enhanced for extra-bold
printing. Use the two codes together like this:
CHR$(27);"T";CHR$(27);"I" in your program. To cancel,
use the CHR$(27);"I" command.
NOTE:
The Commodore graphics characters, superscript and subscript charac-
ters, and custom-designed graphics won't print
in
enhanced or emphasized
modes.

As your computer manuals explain, the Commodore com-
puter gives you the choice of using the Cursor Up character
mode or the Cursor Down character mode.
Commodore's Cursor Up mode offers
upper
case letters
and graphic symbols. If you want your printer to print these
symbols, use a CHR$(145) code.
Commodore's Cursor Down mode gives you upper and
lower case
letters.
It is useful for word processing applica-
tions. To switch to Cursor Down mode, use the CHR$(17)
code
.
