That's how you'd be able to obtain 8 dots for now, yes.

I was not saying that they don't. What I was saying is that the driver
in cups-filters doesn't have anything to implement it. And I don't
immediately find anything in the Index-provided documentation to
implement it. So one cannot expect that I'd be able to implement it
easily. Possibly it'd be a matter of selecting the 8-dot american
computer table and sending bytes in transparent mode, but the details
are not documented by Index, so it'd need some experimentation, and I
don't have an embosser at hand to do it.
