x ht wd jus data [(cc)G] (cc)-
(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code
(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V
configuration.
x Represents an Alphanumeric command. Replace x
with one of the following alphanumeric orientations:
M for Standard Alphanumerics
V for Rotated Clockwise
E for Rotated Counterclockwise
U for Inverted
ht Defines the character height in tenth (.10) inches.
Enter a two-digit height value ranging from 00
through 99 to define a character height of 0.1
through 9.9 inches. The Code V automatically
understands the decimal point between the first
and second digits. Height values of 00 and 01 have
special meanings for rotatable fonts, described on
page 69.
wd Defines the character width in tenth (.10) inches.
Enter a two-digit width value ranging from 00
through 99 to define a character width of 0.1
through 9.9 inches. The Code V automatically
understands the decimal point between the first
and second digits. Width values of 00 and 01 have
special meanings for rotatable fonts described on
page 69.
NOTE: In vertical alphanumeric commands, height refers to the physical
height of the character and intercharacter spacing top to bottom on
the page (from the left to right edge of the printed character). Width
refers to the physical width of the character from left to right on the
page (from the bottom to the top of the printed character).
jus Defines vertical justification (position) for character
printing in tenth inches and dot rows. Enter a three-
digit value ranging from 000 through 999 to define
the printing location down from the starting position
of the command sequence. The first two digits
specify 0.1 through 9.9 inches downward
justification; the third digit specifies an additional 0
through 9 dot rows of downward justification. The
Code V automatically understands the decimal
point between the first two digits and the third digit
is automatically interpreted as dot rows.
