Italic Printing - Epson LQ-1050 User Manual

Emphasized and double-strike printing
Emphasized and double-strike printing can give words and phrases
added prominence. In emphasized mode, the printer prints each
character twice as the print head moves across the paper, with the
dots in the second pass printed slightly to the right of the first pass.
This process produces darker, more fully formed characters.
In double-strike mode, the print head prints each line twice, making
the text bolder. For even greater boldness, you can combine
emphasized and double-strike. The following samples show the
different effects you can achieve using these modes alone and in
combination.
