Chapter 2 Command Codes
Expanded Print
Purpose Selects font sizes other than the default font.

Format (cc)EXPAND;
VE; HE
(cc) The Special Function Control Code.
EXPAND The Expanded Print command; enter EXPAND.
VE
Specifies the vertical expansion factor; enter a
value ranging from 0 through 113.
HE
Specifies the horizontal expansion factor; enter a
value ranging from 0 through 113. Both
VE
and
HE
parameters must be zero or non-zero. If one
expansion value is 0, they must both be 0. A
VE
or
HE
setting of 1 expands the appropriate plane but
produces single-size characters. A
VE
and
HE
setting of 0 produces standard-size characters.
Comments The Expanded Print command uses the 0.10-inch, 10 cpi Gothic
typeface as the default base value from which alphanumeric
characters are expanded.
The character height can be up to a maximum of 11.3 inches,
which means if a page is 11.3 inches high, you can print a
character that fills the entire height of the page.
After an Expanded Print command is entered, all subsequent
alphanumerics print at the specified expansion until another
Expanded Print command, a Normal Mode command, or a Reset
command is entered. An Expanded Print command with
VE
and
HE
set to 0 selects standard character printing.
Example The following command results in character printing at 25 times
its vertical size and 40 times its horizontal size.
