Italic Printing; Underlining; Superscripts And Subscripts; Selecting Typestyles With Master Select - Epson FX-1050 User Manual

In double-strike mode, the printer prints each character twice, the second
time slightly below the first, making the text bolder. For even greater
boldness, you can combine emphasized and double-strike. (Double-strike
cannot be combined with NLQ mode, however.)

Italic printing

You can use italic characters for special emphasis or as an alternative
typeface. ESC 4 turns on the italic mode even if the current DIP switch
setting is set to the Epson Extended Graphics character table.
This sentence is in italics.

Underlining

The underline mode automatically underlines any piece of text. It
underlines spaces, subscripts, and superscripts. (The printer does not,
however, underline horizontal tabs.)

Superscripts and subscripts

Superscripts and subscripts can be used for printing footnote numbers
and mathematical formulas. The example below combines underlining,
superscripts, and subscripts in a mathematical formula.

Selecting typestyles with Master Select

Your printer has a special command called Master Select that allows you
to choose many possible combinations of nine different modes. To send
Master Select codes to the printer, you must first choose the mode
combination you want. The modes you can choose from are
cpi, proportional, condensed, emphasized, double-strike, double-wide,
italics, and underline.
