For printing font of an EXTRA LARGE height use following protocols in 02E version (NOT
APPLICABLE IN OTHER LOWER VERSIONS):

This will print one line feed, if we need to print one more linefeed we should
use same set of protocols again i.e. for each linefeed protocol should be used.

mmOutStream.write(0X08);
mmOutStream.write("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".getBytes());
mmOutStream.write(0X0D);
mmOutStream.write(0X0A);
For every line we need to add the font height protocol whether it is small
large or normal even though Bluetooth Printer having version 02D and lower can
print only SMALL and LARGE height font.
For printing font of a Double Width use following protocols in 02E version (NOT APPLICABLE
IN OTHER LOWER VERSIONS):
mmOutStream.write(0X1B);
mmOutStream.write(0x4B);
mmOutStream.write(0X12);
mmOutStream.write("ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ".getBytes());
mmOutStream.write(0X0D);
mmOutStream.write(0X0A);
For every line we need to add the font width protocol whether it is doubleor
normal even though Bluetooth Printer having version 02D and lower can print
only SMALL and LARGE height font.
