The Serial Matrix condensed print control code SI affects all
subsequent characters. After receiving code SI, all characters
are printed in condensed print until reset by ESC M, ESC P, the
condensed print reset control code DC2, printer reset, or a new
print mode control code. The Serial Matrix SI code (hex 0F) is
equivalent to the ESC SI code. If condensed print is not allowed
in the current print mode, the code is ignored.
