MPCLII Packet Reference Manual

T6. column Distance from the left edge of the print area to the pivot

point is the column location. Ranges:

	English		0 - 399
	Metric		0 - 1015
	Dots		0 - 767
T7. gap	Number of dots between characters
	(192 dots per inch). Range: 0-99.
	NOTE: For monospaced fonts, the additional spacing is
			added to the existing inter-character gap. This is
			also true for proportionally spaced fonts, but
			remember that the inter-character gap varies with
			character combinations.
	Any number other than 0 or the default number affects
	your field width. Default spacing:
	Standard			3 dots
	Reduced			1 dot
	Bold			3 dots
	OCRA-like			3 dots
	CG Triumvirate Bold varies with each letter
	CG Triumvirate			varies with each letter
T8. font	Style of font. Options:
	1	Standard		4	OCRA-like
	2	Reduced		10	CG Triumvirate Bold
	3	Bold		11	CG Triumvirate

50CG Triumvirate Bold (scalable)

NOTE: If you have purchased optional fonts, refer to the Optional Fonts Manual for valid font selectors. The scalable font (Font #50) must be purchased separately for the 9446 and 1460 printers. The scalable font does not print a slashed zero. The CG Triumvirate fonts and Font #50 support only the ANSI and DOS Code 437 and 850 Page Symbol Sets. See Appendix C, "Symbol Sets/Code Pages" for more information.

T9. hgt mag Height magnifier, 1-7(times) or 4-90points for the scalable font. If using the scalable font on the 9490 printer, the range is 4-200points. Use a magnifier of 1 with proportionally spaced fonts, because characters lose smoothness at higher magnifications.
