n
Purpose
Enables/disables proportional spacing of characters.
where:
n = 1, 3, 5...(any odd value) enables proportional spacing
n = 0, 2, 4...(any even value) disables proportional spacing
n = 0, 2, 4...(any even value) disables proportional spacing
Comment
This command is ignored when a non-proportional font is used.

Purpose
Selects superscript or subscript printing.
where:
if
n = 0, 2, 4... (any even value) superscript printing is enabled
if
n = 1, 3, 5... (any odd value) subscript printing is enabled
Comment
Superscript/Subscript font prints at one-half the normal vertical
character height and at twice the normal vertical density. When
the superscript/subscript control code is received, all characters
are superscript or subscript until reset by the superscript/
subscript reset control code or printer reset. Emphasized print is
ignored in the superscript/subscript print mode.

ignored in the superscript/subscript print mode.
Both superscript and subscript characters can be printed in the
same character column using the Backspace (BS) control code
(page 118).

Caution should be used when combining Superscript or
Subscript printing with other print attributes such as Elongated
(Double High), or small line spacing; overlapping lines may
occur. Characters with different horizontal or vertical dot
densities do not overlap.
