31
POINT Optional parameter that changes the units for the
vertical and horizontal expansion values. When the
point parameter is present the
VE
value defines the
font height in 1/72 of an inch (i.e. points). If the
HE
value is non-zero, it defines the character width in
1/72 of an inch, otherwise the character width is the
standard width for the chosen height. Cannot be
used with elongated (E) and compressed (C
n
)
parameters.
HS
n
or HSD
n
Horizontal Spacing. The value
n
indicates the
number of extra dots to add between each
character.
HS = the value is in 60 DPI dots
HSD = the value is in printer dots.
VE
Defines the vertical expansion factor to enlarge
characters vertically. Enter a value between 0 and
113. Zero specifies the standard font (no
expansion). A
VE
value must be entered.
Elongated (E) and compressed (C
n
) characters
cannot be used with a vertical expansion other than
zero.
HE
Defines the horizontal expansion factor to enlarge
characters horizontally. Enter a value between 0
and 113. Zero specifies the standard font (no
expansion). An
HE
value must be entered.
Elongated (E) and compressed (C
n
) characters
cannot be used with a horizontal expansion other
than zero.
(D)
The printable character (quotation marks for
example) identifying the start and finish of the
alphanumeric string. Enter any printable character
other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a character
used within the alphanumeric string itself. You must
use the same character at both ends of the
alphanumeric string, but it will not print with the
data.
text
The group of ASCII characters (the alphanumeric
string) to print. Enter any of the standard ASCII
printable characters (except the character used to
delimit the string in the D parameter). The data
appears as “prepositioned” information on the form
beginning at the location specified by
SR
and
SC
.
This is the “fixed” or static alphanumeric data; once
defined on the form, it is changed only by redefining
the form using the Alphanumeric command.
STOP Stop indicates the end of the Alphanumeric
command; enter STOP, and the IGP will wait for a
new command. If not entered, the IGP will wait for
another set of Alphanumeric command parameters.
