Description

Either one of these codes switches the printer to the enlarged print mode. In enlarged
print mode, the width of printed characters are twice that in the normal mode. Enlar-
ged printing can be used with all print qualities.
Enlarged print mode set by SO or ESC SO is reset by LF, CR, FF, VT, ESC !,
ESC W <0> and DC4.

This code resets the printer from enlarged print mode to normal (standard size)
mode.The code is ignored except when the printer has been set to enlarged mode by
SO or ESC SO. It does not affect the enlarged mode set by ESC W or by ESC ! se-
quences.

This code sequence switches the printer to continuous enlarged print mode when 1 is
specified for n, and resets printing to normal mode when 0 is specified.
Enlarged print activated by the code sequence SO or ESC SO is also reset to normal
mode when n=0. Valid values for n are hex.00, hex.01, hex.30 and hex.31.
