Parameter n5 selects a 4-digit point size (1/4 point resolution). The horizontal pitch (cpi) is automatically adjusted based on the point size selected.

Examples The following command selects the Courier typeface, a fixed pitch font. It also sets the point size to 12, which corresponds to 6 lpi and 10 cpi.

SSCC F 93952;x;x;xxx;0048

The following command enables the left slant attribute, and sets the point size to 100.

SSCC F xxxxx;x;2;xxx;0400

The following command selects the Futura typeface, which is a proportional font. It also enables the bold print attribute, and disables the slant attribute.

SSCC F 91810;1;0;xxx;xxxx

Comment

Parameters n1 through n6 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.
