Underlining can also be accomplished by sending the sequence:
TEXT, CR, SP/UL, line terminator. Underlining is on a per character basis.
Example:
Sent: A B C D E, CR, SP, UL, SP, SP, CR, LF
Printed: ABCDE
• It isn’t necessary to match the length of the string between the text and
underlines, and spaces beyond that required to position the underlines as
desired.
• Reversing the order of the string to: SP/UL, CR, TEXT, CR, LF is
permissible following the same positioning requirement.
Compatibility with Other Features
• Configuration 28.0: leading and trailing spaces are not underlined
(reference (ESC) (–) (n) only).
• Configuration 28.1: everything following (ESC) (–) (CHR$) 1 or 49 is
underlined.
• Underlines are functional with all features except plot and any lpi
spacing such as 10 lpi in which there are no available dot rows for the
underlines.
• Underlines are functional with automatic LF; configuration 23.X.23.O
must be set (CR = no Line Feed) in order to use CR as a flag for
underlining.
