Italics; Super- And Subscripts - OKIDATA OKIMATE 20 Handbook

When you turn the printer on, it will print in Near
Letter Quality. OKIMATE will print in NLQ with
pica or elite (standard and expanded characters),
but it won't print fine characters, superscripts, or
subscripts in NLQ. If you insert the NLQ command
while printing in one of these styles, OKIMATE
won't start printing in NLQ until you insert the
command for pica or elite characters .

For chemical formulas, you can print half-high,
half-wide characters slightly below the printline
(subscripts). For footnote references or exponents,
you can print half-high, half-wide characters
slightly above the printline (superscripts). Fine
(17 CPI) characters are half the height, but the
full width of standard 17 CPI characters.
For compatibility with some word processing
packages, the commands for starting subscript
and superscript may also be used to cancel the
opposite feature.
