The character formatting commands provide some character
control without a change of fonts. You can do the following:
•
Bold (although a bold font may be preferable)
•
Underline
•
Overstrike with any printable character
•
Create subscripts or superscripts.
Note: These commands increase page complexity and can slow
the performance of the printer.
Italics
There is no command for italicising characters. You must select
an italic font with the Font ID Assignment and Font Change
commands, see “Fonts on the 4213 printer“).
