•attribute takes a value from 1-7.

1 = symbol set, 2 = spacing, 3 = pitch, 4 = height, 5 = posture, 6 = stroke weight and 7 = typeface.

• value selects an option for the specified attribute. For further explanation about attribute values see the previous SD command.

•If the defined font is not available, another font is selected that matches the defined font's specified attributes

as closely as possible. The symbol set attribute has the highest priority for matching and typeface has the lowest.

• If you omit all parameters, the default alternate font attributes are used.

•The default standard font is the HP-GL stick font.

•The font remains current until the printer is initialized with an IN command, until the default conditions are

resorted with the DF command or until an SA command is used.

SA - Select alternate font

SA [;]

• This command allows you to select the alternate font, as defined by the AD command. All subsequently printed labels will appear in the alternate font

•The SA command is equivalent to including the SO control code (ASCII 14) in a label.
