Alphanumerics

POINT

Optional parameter that changes the units for the

 

vertical and horizontal expansion values. When the

 

point parameter is present the VE value defines the

 

font height in 1/72 of an inch (i.e. points). If the HE

 

value is non-zero, it defines the character width in

 

1/72 of an inch, otherwise the character width is the

 

standard width for the chosen height. Cannot be

 

used with elongated (E) and compressed (Cn)

 

parameters.

HSn or HSDn Horizontal Spacing. The value n indicates the number of extra dots to add between each character.

HS = the value is in 60 DPI dots HSD = the value is in printer dots.

VE

Defines the vertical expansion factor to enlarge

 

characters vertically. Enter a value between 0 and

 

113. Zero specifies the standard font (no

 

expansion). A VE value must be entered.

 

Elongated (E) and compressed (Cn) characters

 

cannot be used with a vertical expansion other than

 

zero.

HE

Defines the horizontal expansion factor to enlarge

 

characters horizontally. Enter a value between 0

 

and 113. Zero specifies the standard font (no

 

expansion). An HE value must be entered.

 

Elongated (E) and compressed (Cn) characters

 

cannot be used with a horizontal expansion other

 

than zero.

(D)The printable character (quotation marks for example) identifying the start and finish of the alphanumeric string. Enter any printable character other than a slash (/), the SFCC, or a character used within the alphanumeric string itself. You must use the same character at both ends of the alphanumeric string, but it will not print with the data.

text

The group of ASCII characters (the alphanumeric

 

string) to print. Enter any of the standard ASCII

 

printable characters (except the character used to

 

delimit the string in the D parameter). The data

 

appears as “prepositioned” information on the form

 

beginning at the location specified by SR and SC.

 

This is the “fixed” or static alphanumeric data; once

 

defined on the form, it is changed only by redefining

 

the form using the Alphanumeric command.

STOP

Stop indicates the end of the Alphanumeric

 

command; enter STOP, and the IGP will wait for a

 

new command. If not entered, the IGP will wait for

 

another set of Alphanumeric command parameters.
