Selects emphasized character print format.
When the emphasized print control code is received, all characters are printed in
emphasized print until reset by the emphasized print reset control code or printer
reset. The emphasized print attribute is implemented by horizontal "shadow" print-
ing and may reduce the print speed to half.
Emphasized print is ignored during superscript or subscript printing, and when 15
or 17 cpi characters have been selected.
The following sample program illustrates emphasized character printing.
