Scale

 

If the ending row is less than the starting row, the

 

rows are automatically switched. The same is done

 

with the ending and starting column.

EC

Defines the ending column of the reverse print field.

 

Enter a value ranging from column 2 through the

 

last column of the form. The ending column must

 

be greater than the starting column. Character

 

column or dot column is specified based on the

 

Scale command (page 83), or use the CP.DP

 

format (page 26).

STOP

Stop indicates the end of the REVERSE command;

 

enter STOP, and the IGP will wait for a new

 

command. If not entered, the IGP will expect

 

another set of Reverse Print command parameters.

Comments You can use reverse print with all form elements (alpha, lines, boxes, etc.). The IGP can also reverse print bar codes, but reverse printed bar codes are unreadable by scanning devices.

Scale

Purpose

Defines the vertical line spacing and the horizontal pitch of the

 

form for data positioning specified by character row and column

 

or dot row and column.

Mode

Format

SCALE; DOT [;horz;vert]

 

or

 

 

SCALE; CHAR [;lpi] [;cpi]

 

SCALE

The Scale command; enter SCALE.

 

DOT

Specifies the dot scale. Enter DOT.

 

horz/vert

Gives resolution for the dot parameter. Default is 60

 

 

dpi (horizontal) by 72 dpi (vertical).

 

CHAR

Specifies the character scale. Enter CHAR.

 

lpi

The optional vertical line spacing parameter (in

 

 

lines per inch) for character scaling. Enter 6, 8, 9, or

 

 

10. The default is 6 lpi.

 

cpi

The optional horizontal pitch parameter (in

 

 

characters per inch) for character scaling. Enter 10,

 

 

12, 13, 15, 17, or 20. The default is 10 cpi.

Comments If the character scale is selected, starting row/column or ending row/column parameters are specified by character row and column. The lines per inch (lpi) value for a character scale form can be 6, 8, 9, or 10. Characters per inch (cpi) can be either 10, 12, 13, 15, 17, or 20. For example, on a printer with a maximum print width of 80 columns, an 8-1/2 x 11-inch form at the 6 lpi 10 cpi default has 66 rows and 80 columns in the character scale. (Refer to your printer User’s Guide to determine your maximum print boundaries.)
