Hex Code 1B 57 n

Discussion An ESC W code sets or cancels double wide print as follows:
The value of n is in the 00 to FF hex range.
If n = odd, double wide print is selected for all following lines.
If n = even, double wide print is cancelled for all following lines.
When expanded print using ESC W is received, all characters print double
wide until cancelled by an even parameter hex code. An ESC W code can
occur at any place in the datastream and is acted upon immediately.
Double wide print can also be set via the command SO and ESC SO, double
wide print for one line only. An ESC W code overrides these settings.
