Chapter 2 Command Codes
You can use any or all Font parameters, listed in any order, in a
single Font command. (Do not list font parameters on separate
lines.) Parameters and symbol sets not specified retain the
previously selected value. Parameters incorrectly specified retain
the previously selected value.
All Font command parameters are reset to default values upon
receiving a NORMAL, RESET, CONFIG;RESET, or new
CREATE command. Multiple font commands within a single form
will save the
last
font command parameters specified. Symbol
sets can also be selected using the ISET or USET commands.
(Refer to Chapter 5.)
To change font width and height, use the Compressed Print
(Density) or Expanded Print commands described on pages 47
and 72, respectively.
Example The following command prints the current font bolded with a right
slant. This font will continue to print until another Font command,
a Normal mode command, or a Reset command is entered.
~FONT;BOLD ON;SLANT RIGHT
Form Length
Purpose Sets the length of the form to a specific number of lines at 6 or 8
lpi.
Mode CREATE
Format LFORM6;
n
or LFORM8;
n
LFORM6 The Form Length command for 6 lpi forms; enter
LFORM6.
LFORM8 The Form Length command for 8 lpi forms; enter
LFORM8.
n
Specifies the form length in total number of lines
allowed per form. The range depends on the paper
size used. An error message will result if the
maximum line values are exceeded.
Example The following example establishes a form length of 8 inches (48
lines at 6 lpi):
LFORM6;48
Note This command affects only printed text inside of IGP forms,
not the printer lpi. The LFORM8 command considers a line
as 9 dot rows; the LFORM6 command considers a line as 12
dot rows. The 9 and 12 dot rows per line matches the dot
rows of the printer in the DP mode if set to 8 or 6 lpi,
respectively.
