  As the name of the printer say, it is just text printer, it means predefined font. You need to think about it as some very old terminal writing in plain text. It is like asking for changing text size in Notepad (just for part of the text).

  you can do the following:
  
  a) change the font size on the printer for example from 10CPI to 12CPI
  
  b) look into the printer manual. there scould be printer-ascii-codes which will be validated by the printer in runtime: if you insert such a ascii code in your report, the printer may read them and it MAY run.

  ad b) it will not work, because all data passed to the printer driver are processed and command characters are removed/changed. But you can set parameters in the driver itself and use the escape characters there. See the documentation for properties of this printer.
