Selects bold character printing.
When the bold character printing control code is received, all characters are printed
in bold until reset by the bold print reset control code or printer reset. Bold Print is
the same as printing double strike. Bold character printing may reduce print speed to
half.
SFCC j selects bold print for the current line only. When this code is received, all
characters are printed in bold until reset by the bold print reset control code, printer
reset, or a paper motion command.
Superscript or subscript characters implement the bold function with a vertical
"shadow" rather than a double strike. The bold attribute has no affect on superscript
or subscript characters themselves.
The following sample program illustrates bold character printing.
