32 Line Matrix Printer Code V Programmer's Reference Manual

Alphanumerics

data

Identifies data characters to print or a specific

graphics command (such as one of the bar code

commands, a horizontal tab command, etc.).

(cc)G (Optional) Reverses the character data from the

actual input order. This parameter is available only

with the Rotated Counterclockwise command (E) or

the Inverted Rotated Alphanumeric command (U).

Enter the SFCC for your Code V configuration

immediately followed by G.

(cc)- Graphics Mode CR used as a sequence terminator.

Enter the SFCC for your Code V configuration

immediately followed by - to end the command

sequence.

Comments The Graphics Mode (PY) must be enabled before sending an

alphanumeric command. Alphanumeric commands must be a

part of the command sequence before using specific graphics

commands. Alphanumeric commands must be used to initiate

any extended graphic command sequence. Other data or graphic

commands can be used with alphanumeric commands.

Examples Examples for each of the four alphanumeric orientations are

provided starting below. Rotated clockwise alphanumerics print

characters with a clockwise vertical rotation; the characters are

read top to bottom. Rotated Counterclockwise alphanumerics

print characters with a counterclockwise vertical rotation; the

characters are read bottom to top. Inverted alphanumerics print

characters upside down; the characters are read right to left.

Rotated Counterclockwise and Inverted Rotated alphanumerics

have an optional reverse string parameter option.

NOTE: When the alphanumeric command is used simply to introduce one of

the extended graphics commands (such as Horizontal Tabs,

Justification, Dark Print, etc.), the alphanumeric command

parameters are optional and can be entered only as needed.

However, the alphanumeric command parameters are required for

bar code commands.
