Standard print density is 10 cpi. After a Density command is
entered, all subsequent alphanumerics print at the specified
density until another Density command, a Normal mode
command, or a Reset command is entered. The Density
command also permits the standard printer editing function
(carriage return editing). After the Density command is entered,
data in the print buffer can be edited as described in your printer
User’s Guide.

The following command selects 15 cpi printing format until
another Density command, a Normal mode command, or a Reset
command is entered.
