Value of n:
1–8 = vertical number of times active font
1–8 = horizontal number of times active font
Range of n:

Default of n:

Selects the character height using bits 0 to 2 and selects the character width using bits 4 to 6, as follows:
With smoothing enabled, maximum value of 0 + n is 66.

This command is effective for all characters (except for HRI characters).
In standard mode, the vertical direction is the paper feed direction, and the horizontal direction is perpendicular to the
paper feed direction. However, when character orientation changes in 90 degree clockwise-rotation mode, the relationship
between vertical and horizontal directions is reversed.
In page mode, vertical and horizontal directions are based on the character orientation. When characters are enlarged with
different sizes on one line, all the characters on the line are aligned at the baseline.
The select print mode (1B 21 n) command can also select or cancel double-width and double-height modes. However, the
setting of the last received command is effective.
