Character Expansion (GSM) (continued)
Multiply Width
The printer prints double width characters by expanding the single width
character matrix to produce twice the number of horizontal dots per
character. When double width characters are selected, the Space character
also expands to twice the normal width. To double character width, invoke
the following cpi:

NOTE: The OCR–A and OCR–B fonts cannot be enlarged. If
multiplication escape sequences are used with them, the escape
sequence is ignored.
Double width characters are considered one–column wide by the printer.
Therefore, existing tab stops are positioned with respect to double width
columns. When double width characters are disabled, the tab stops reposition
to normal width columns.
A default of 100 is used if no values are set for Pn1 or n2.
When vertical expansion is selected, blank lines are also expanded by the
appropriate factor. Likewise, when double width characters are selected,
spaces are expanded to the appropriate factor.
