z XMIN, XMAX, YMIN, YMAX — These parameters represent the

		user-unit X- and Y-axis ranges, respectively. For example,
		SC0,15,0,10 indicates 15 user-units along the X-axis and
		10 user-units along the Y-axis. As a result, the first and third
		parameters (XMIN and YMIN) are the coordinate pair that is
		mapped onto P1; the second and fourth parameters (XMAX
		and YMAX) are the coordinate pair mapped onto P2. Using the
		same example, the coordinate location of P1 is (0,0) and P2
		is (15,10). This is different from the IP command, where the
		parameters are expressed as X,Y coordinate pairs rather than
		as ranges.
Note	XMIN cannot be set equal to XMAX, and YMIN cannot be set equal
	to YMAX.
	As their names suggest, you will normally want to specify XMIN
	smaller than XMAX, and YMIN smaller than YMAX. If you specify XMIN
	larger than XMAX and YMIN larger than YMAX, your illustration is drawn
	as a mirror-image, reversed and/or upside down, depending on the
	relative positions of P1 and P2.
	The parameters of the SC command are always mapped onto the
	current P1 and P2 locations. P1 and P2 retain these new values until
	scaling is turned off or another SC command redefines the user-unit
	values. Thus, the size of a user unit could change if any change is
	made in the relative position and distance between P1 and P2 after
	an SC command is executed.
	z Type — Specifies anisotropic or isotropic scaling.
	Table 19-20
	0	Anisotropic scaling. Allows a user-unit along the
		X-axis to be a different size than user-units along the
		Y-axis. Printed shapes are distorted when you use
		anisotropic scaling. For example, a circle might be
		drawn as an ellipse—oval-shaped instead of round.
		(Left and bottom parameters are ignored for
		anisotropic scaling.
	1	Isotropic scaling. Produces user-units that are the
		same size on both the X- and Y-axes. The following
		illustrations show how the printer adjusts the location

of (XMIN,YMIN) and (XMAX,YMAX) to create the largest possible isotropic area within the P1/P2 limits. (Remember, the user-units are always square regardless of the shape of the isotropic area.)
