Bold Printing
ASCII Code ESC [ Ps m
Hex Code 1B 5B Ps 6D
Dec Code 27 91 Ps 109
Purpose Turn bold printing on or off.
Discussion This sequence causes the printer to print bold text in the same font
currently selected. Ps turns bold printing on or off.
If the currently selected type family does not have a bold font on the system
diskette, the printer will double–strike with a slight offset (“shadow print”)
when you turn on bold printing. Printing speed is reduced during shadow
printing because each character is created twice. Note that bolding is not
available for OCR–A and OCR–B fonts.
