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.

densities do not overlap.
