ASCII Code SSCC F n1 ; n2 ; n3 ; n4 ; n5

Hex Code SSCC 46 n1 3B n2 3B n3 3B n4 3B n5

Dec Code SSCC 70 n1 59 n2 59 n3 59 n4 59 n5

Purpose Selects fixed pitch and proportional font attributes, with character size specified in terms of typographic points.

Comment

Parameters n1 through n5 are specified as ASCII digit values. If

 

a non-digit is used in any parameter, the value remains

 

unchanged. The following paragraphs explain how to set various

 

options using ASCII digit values for each parameter.

where:

Parameter n1 identifies a specific typeface. Enter the five-digit

 

number representing the selected typeface. Fixed pitch spacing

 

is used for the Letter Gothic (DP), Courier (NLQ), OCR-A, and

 

OCR-B typefaces. All others use proportional spacing.

 

* The standard fonts available are Courier (#93950), Letter

 

Gothic (#93777), OCR-A (#90993), OCR-B (#91409), and CG

 

Times (#92500).

 

Parameter n2 is a 1-digit bold flag.

 

n2 =

0 (disable bold)

 

 

1

(enable bold)

 

Parameter n3 selects a 1-digit slant flag. (Slant is similar to italic,

 

but also offers a backward slant.)

 

n3 =

0

(disable slant)

 

 

1

(right slant)

 

 

2

(left slant)
