NOTES

Expanded characters are typically used with this command for added emphasis or for long distance

readability. This command will expand the following fonts: Fonts XU, XS, XM, OA & OB, and fonts WB

& XL.

This command will also affect the following commands: Character Pitch, Custom-Designed characters.

The Character Expansion value is in effect for the current print job until a new expansion command is

specified.

The Line and Box command, if used within the data stream, may return all subsequent text to the

default expansion of 1 x 1. Therefore, either send the Character Expansion command before all printed

data, or send Line and Box commands last, preceding the Quantity (<ESC>Q) command.
