Double high & wide expanded character printing is possible by combining the double-wide and double-tall expanded
character commands.
The line feed amount including the expanded double-tall characters is twice the normal amount.However, in standard
specifications, only the line feed amount is doubled for font configurations of 6 x 12 IBM block graphic characters.
When double-tall expanded characters and normal printing are mixed in the same line, they are aligned at the bottom.
Double-tall expanded is effective only for ANK characters, and not effective for Kanji characters.
