doubled.

restored.

When you specify a value for n you may also use the character codes for ‘0’ and ‘1’ (48 and 49)
instead of 0 and 1.

You cannot use superscript, subscript or condensed printing modes in conjunction with double -
height printing. If you try to select any of these three modes while in double-height printing the
command will be ignored.
