each line in this mode is printed twice, the speed of your printing is
slowed. The code to turn off double-strike is ESCape “H”.
Some users prefer the effect of emphasized, and others prefer
double-strike. You can look at the printout below and decide for your-
self.
This is standard printing.
This is emphasized printing.
This is double-strike printing.
Double-width mode
Perhaps the most dramatic mode on the FX-286 is double-width. It
produces extra-wide characters that are good for titles and headings.
For this mode, the dot pattern of each character is double-width and
twice as many dots are printed. You can see the difference between
pica and double-width pica if you enter and run this program:
10 LPRINT "This is standard printing."
20 LPRINT CHR$(27)"Wl";
30
LPRINT "This is double-width."
100 LPRINT CHR$(27)"W0"
This is standard printing.
This is double-width.
For this mode the letter W and the numeral one together turn the
mode on and the letter W and the numeral zero together turn it off.
Thus ESCape “W1” turns on double-width and ESCape "W0" turns it
Off.
Those of you who are programmers may be interested in another
form of double-width. In this alternate form, called one-line double-
width, the printing is the same as that in the example but it is turned on
by ASCII 14 and is turned off by a line feed, ASCII 20, or ESCape
"W0".
Mode combinations
You can also use control codes to combine modes. For example, you
can make a title especially vivid by combining emphasized and
double-width. In fact, you can combine many of the print modes on
5-9
