characters are printed half-height if 100 is added to the p
parameter, and are printed the same height as the text if 100 is not
added to the p parameter
.
Example:
Esc

Selects Code 3 of 9 with human-readable text half embedded and start/stop *
characters. Because the v, b, s and h parameters are not specified, their values
default to:
