Emphasized Mode - Epson FX-80 User Manual

Yes, this listing looks peculiar, but these lines give the same output as
the earlier version. The G and H are not printed on the paper; instead,
they are used as part of the ESCape sequence.
Emphasized Mode
Add these lines to your program to try yet another print mode:
3(il
LPRINT CHR$(27)"E"i"EMPHASIZED ADDS A TOUCH OF
CLASS"
6(il
LPRINT CHR$(27)"@"
DOUBLE-STRIKE PRINT IS DARKER THAN SINGLE-STRIKE
EMPHASIZED ADDS A TOUCH OF CLASS
(ESC) "E" produces what we call Emphasized print. In this mode, the
dots in each column in the matrix definition of the character are added
to the dots in the next half column over. That's right, it's very similar
to Expanded print, but the dots in Expanded Mode are printed in
every other column. Figure 4-2 shows the half-dot spacing of Empha-
sized Mode.
