APPENDIX B — SCS/DCA COMMAND SUMMARY | Page | |
|
|
|
Command: | Set Character Density (SCD) |
|
Format: | 2B D2 nn 29 00 cp |
|
Printers: | 3812, 4214, 5219, 5224, 5225 |
|
Action: | Specifies the character density in characters per inch | |
| (CPI) for subsequent text. |
|
| The cp parameter specifies CPI. |
|
| For the 4214, values of 00h (no change), 05h (5CPI), | |
| 0Ah (10CPI), 0Ch (12 CPI) and 10h (16.7 CPI) are valid. | |
| For the 3812 and 5219, values of 00h (no change), 0Ah | |
| (10 CPI), 0Bh (proportional spacing), 0Ch (12 CPI) and | |
| 0Fh (15 CPI) are valid. |
|
| For the 3812 and 5219, the value 0Bh (proportional | |
| spacing) is effectively the same as setting the ps | |
| parameter value of the Set FID through GFID (FSG) | |
| command to 02h. For the 5224 and 5225, values of 00h | |
| (no change), 0Ah (10 CPI), 0Ch (12 CPI) and 0Fh (15 | |
| CPI) are valid. |
|
| This command recalculates the horizontal Maximum | |
| Print Position (MPP). If the newly calculated MPP is less | |
| than the current MPP, it overrides the old MPP setting. | |
IBMEMUL: | Same as IBM. |
|
| The OPTIMA supports all CPI values for all IBM printer | |
| emulations. |
|
The OPTIMA, in addition to all of the above values of the cp parameter, supports values of 08h (8.6 CPI) and 11h (17.1 CPI).
If the current orientation is portrait, one of the PFSs
P5CPI> (CPI≤5), P 8CPI> (CPI≤8), P 10CPI (CPI≤10), P PSCPI> (proportional spacing),
P12CPI> (CPI≤12), P 15CPI> (CPI≤15),
P16CPI> (CPI≤16) or P 17CPI (CPI>16) will be sent to the target printer to invoke the appropriate CPI value.
