Select double or quadruple size
<27> < 104> <n>
Selects the size of subsequent characters as shown below. Extra-high
characters align along the cap-line of normal characters, with the base line
temporarily moving down. Line spacing is temporarily doubled when n
=
1, 5, or 6 and quadrupled when
n
=
2. To print correctly when
n
=
3,4,
5, or 6, set the line spacing to 24/216 (1/9) of an inch with the command
< 27 > < 51 > < 24 >, and print the same characters twice, upper half on
one line, lower half on the next.

line, and without changing the line spacing. Temporarily cancels
super/subscript and condensed printing modes.

Tenmnates double-height printing and prints subsequent characters at
normal height. Resumes super/subscript and condensed printing if these
modes were in effect before double height was selected.

value of n, as below. Does not move the base line.

Double-height characters are always printed at near letter quality.
Double height printing temporarily cancels the super/subscript and con-
densed printing modes, but these modes resume when the printer returns
to normal height.
