For example, if you want to print a title using double-wide 12 cpi
characters in double-strike mode, you add these three decimal
numbers together to calculate the value of n:
12 cpi
1
Double-strike 16
Double-wide 32
n= 49
After calculating the value of n, use the Master Select command to
send the value to the printer. To send the Master Select command
for double-wide, 12 cpi, and double-strike, you would use the
decimal codes 27, 33, and 49.
