Purpose Selects superscript or subscript printing.
Comment Super/Subscript font prints at one–half the normal vertical character height and at
twice the normal vertical density. When the super/subscript control code is re-
ceived, all characters are superscript or subscript until this feature is reset by the su-
per/subscript reset control code or printer reset. Emphasized print is ignored in the
super/subscript print mode.
In Serial Matrix protocol, or when the BS feature is enabled from the control panel
in P–Series protocol, both superscript and subscript characters can print in the same
character column using the Backspace (BS) control code (page 6–7).
Use caution when combining Superscript or Subscript printing with other print at-
tributes such as Elongated (Double High), or small line spacing; overlapping lines
may occur. Characters with different horizontal or vertical dot densities do not over-
lap.
Example The following sample program illustrates superscript/subscript printing and reset.
