Chapter 2 Block Character
When a block character is rotated 90 degrees clockwise or counterclockwise
on a page, the height and width values are exchanged:
• the Graphics Pass height value determines the new character width.
• the Graphics Pass width value determines the new character height.
Command ^{M, U, V, or E}hhwwjjd<data>^-
Arguments ^{M, U, V, or E} One of the four orientation commands ^M, ^U,
^V, or ^E.
hh The height of each printed character window. This
dimension is measured vertically on the page and
is specified in increments of 0.1 inches (0.25 cm).
The height for each character window ranges from
01 to 99 (0.1 to 9.9 inches or 0.25 to 25.3 cm). For
example, a height of 03 means a character window
height of 0.3 inches (0.76cm).
ww The width of each printed character window. This
dimension is measured horizontally on the page
and is specified in increments of 0.1 inches. The
width for each character window ranges from 01 to
99 (0.1 to 9.9 inches or 0.3 to 25.3 cm). For
example, a width of 10 means a character window
width of 1 inch (2.5 cm).
jjd The vertical justification, jj, ranges from 00 to 99
(0.0 to 9.9 inches/0.0 to 25.2 cm). The d allows an
additional amount of justification down from 0 to 9
dot rows to fine tune the final positioning. For
example, inserting the value 118 means the
characters are moved down the page 1.1 inches
(2.8 cm) plus an additional 8 dot rows. If any of the
jjd is not sent, the printer assumes the missing
values are 0. If any of the jjd is nto sent, the printer
assumes the missing values are 0. For instance,
M1010 would have a jjd value of 000.
<data> The actual characters to be printed. This data will
print in accordance with orientation, height, width,
and justification values.
