†
This control code doubles character width, but does
not double
inter-character spacing, unlike the Epson FX-1050. The formulas
for total character spacing are as follows:
Epson FX-1050 2(char + 1 dot + space)
Epson Emulation 2(char + 1 dot) + space
Example The following sample illustrates double wide character printing.
