HP PCL/PJL reference (PCL 5 Printer Language) - Technical Reference Manual Part II

EN SR, Relative Character Size 23-83
Example:Using the SR Command
The following example first shows a label with a character size
relative to P1 and P2 (SR). Next, the locations of P1 and P2 are
changed; then, the character size percentages are specified. Notice
that the new character size has equal parameters of 2.5; because
the P1/P2 area is square, the resulting characters are square.
