Select Double Strike

This command turns double strike mode on or off and is identical to Emphasized mode command. The printer is reset to the standard print mode after a line has been printed or after a Clear Printer (0x10) command is received.

Note: These settings do not apply in Page Mode; however, they can be set or cleared in Page Mode. Double-strike printing cannot be used with bit-images or downloaded bit-images. This command and the Select Print Mode command (1B 21) function identically. They should have the same setting when used together. In 7193 Emulation, this command is unrecognized and the parameter byte is put in to the printer buffer.
