Default value n: 0
Explanation
(1) n is valid only in the least significant bit.
(2) In bold printing, one character is shifted 1 dot horizontally and superimposed on
another. However, in the event of the Character Rotation Set Command ([ESC]V),
bold printing is performed after the rotation of the character. Therefore the
direction in which bold is applied is different.
(3) Bold printing can also be set or canceled by the Print Mode All Set Command
([ESC] G), but the most recently processed command is applied.
(4) The same print output is obtained as when the Double Printing Set Command
([ESC] G) is executed.
