The default orientation prints character strings in the standard horizontal format.

NOTE: Alpha rotation parameters (CW, CCW, INV) require more memory to implement than the default orientation. Thus, characters selected for rotation may appear in the default orientation. Selecting a smaller font will correct the problem.

UC

Enter UC to specify uppercase±only characters. When

 

uppercase±only is specified, all lowercase alpha

 

character codes are converted automatically to

 

uppercase. Consequently, do not specify

 

uppercase±only characters if lowercase characters are

 

required.

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.

SR

Defines the starting row of the alphanumeric data.

 

Enter a value ranging from row 1 through one less than

 

the length of the form. Character row or dot row is

 

specified based on the Scale command (page 4±88), or

 

use the CP.DP format (page 4±7).

SC

Defines the starting column of the alphanumeric data.

 

Enter a value ranging from column 1 through one less

 

than the width of the form. Character column or dot

 

column is specified based on the Scale command (page

 

4±88), or use the CP.DP format (page 4±7).

VE

Defines the vertical expansion factor to enlarge

 

characters vertically. Enter a value between 0 and 139.

 

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.
