I had a Brother daisy wheel that would do a
single step of the stepper
and a second strike, for bold. You need to have the right esc
sequence. Just about every printer is different until HP had a
standard( pscl5 as I recall ).
Prior to the HP PCL (Printer Command Language), quite a few printers put
in Epson [MX80] emulation.
HP introduced PCL in 1984.
When they introduced the LaserJet["Minus"] (still in 1984) they were up
to PCL 3.
LaserJet PLUS got PCL 4.? That remained active for a very long time.
"Intellifont" font scaling was in PCL 5 (for LaserJet III?)
PCL 6 (1995?) was optimized for Windows.
