Print Modes For Raster Plots - Printronix MVP Series User Manual

Print Modes for Raster Plots

The second function switches allow you to manually select among the print
or plot modes (see Table 5–2). When manually set, the last valid mode
command received before printing will determine the line print mode. The
features listed as available in a particular mode are accessible on a per
character basis and can be combined within a line, and in some cases, within
a character matrix. However, print modes cannot be mixed on the same line.
Raster plotting is available in all modes on a per dot row basis (i.e. the entire
line must be plot) .
Special features that can be selected in each mode are included in the
"Features Available" section of Table 5–2. The letter codes are defined as
follows:
B = Bold (Double Strike)
U = Underlining
W = Double Wide on Per Character Basis
