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 yourself. 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 doublewidth, 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
