Chapter 2 Command Codes

NOTE: Values above 20 (except 72) default to 18. Values selected but not

shown on the table are rounded to the next higher value. For

example, selecting a line spacing code of 05, would be rounded up to

06.

Example The following example illustrates different line spacings.

horz vert

(cc)-

(cc) Represents the Special Function Control Code

(SFCC). Enter the specific SFCC for your Code V

configuration.

LD The Dashed Line command. Enter LD.

horz

Defines the horizontal length of the line in tenth

inches and dot columns. Enter a three-digit

horizontal length value ranging from 000 through

999 to define a horizontal length of 00.0 through

99.9 inches. Add a fourth digit ranging from 0

through 9 to specify 0 through 9 additional dot

columns of length. The Code V automatically

understands the decimal between the second and

third digits for tenth inches and automatically

interprets the fourth digit as dot columns. The

additional dots are only printed if the length is an

even number. If the length is an odd number, the

space for the additional dots is provided but the

dots are not printed. For example, entering 0126

specifies a 1.2-inch plus 6-dot column horizontal

line length, and the dots are printed. Entering 1016

specifies a 10.1-inch plus 6-dot column horizontal

line length, but the additional 6 dots are not printed.

The LD command is ignored if the length parameter

is zero plus zero dots.
