Cognitive Solutions A799 manual Text strike-through mode ColorPOS, Select font ID number

62 Chapter 4: Programming Commands Revision D 12/09

Text strike-through mode (ColorPOS®)

ASCII	GS 0x85 m n
Hexadecimal	1D 8D n m
Decimal	29 141 n m
Value of m:	0	= retain same color as the character itself
	1	= black
	2	= paper color
Value of n:	standard cell height
Default:	n = 0 (off)

Prints a strike-through over characters. If the strike-through is as wide as the cell height, this will produce a cell that will be printed as a solid current color.

When characters are greater than normal size, such as double-high, the number of character rows claimed by n also increases proportionally, such as doubling for double-high cells. Location of the strike-through on a cell is on a cell-by-cell basis, so mixing cell sizes on the same print row will give uneven results.
