Print characters in Double-strike printing mode
CHR$(27) CHR$(71)
When ESC G code is transmitted to the printer, subsequent
characters are printed in the double-strike mode.
The double-strike is cancelled when the ESC H code is sent
to the printer.
When in double-strike, the characters are printed once,
then the paper is moved up 1/144 inch and the characters
are reprinted.
Shifting in and out of double-strike on the same line will
cause the line to slant slightly.
Double-strike printing mode can be used with any other
print style commands.

When ESC E code is sent to the printer, all subsequent
characters are printed in the Emphasized print mode.
The Emphasized print mode is cancelled by sending the ESC F
code to the printer.
Emphasized printing can only be used with the normal pica
and enlarged pica characters (10 CPI and 5 CPI) and
cannot be used with super/subscripts.
The Emphasized print mode can be combined with the Double-
strike print mode.
