Printronix ThermaLine Series manual Stop

HE	Defines the horizontal expansion factor to enlarge
	characters horizontally. Enter a value between 0 and
	139. 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 ªprepositionedº information on the form beginning
	at the location specified by SR and SC. This is the
	ªfixedº or static alphanumeric data; once defined on
	the form, it is changed only by redefining the form
	using the Alphanumerics command.
STOP	Stop indicates the end of the Alphanumeric command;
	enter STOP, and the IGP/PGL will wait for a new
	command. If not entered, the IGP/PGL will wait for
	another set of Alphanumeric command parameters.

Comments As dynamic data, the location of the alphanumeric field is established in the Create Form mode and the actual alphanumeric data is continuously redefined before placement on the form in the Execute Form mode. You can also rotate and reverse print the alphanumeric string using this command.

Example The following program and example in Figure 4±3 illustrates the Alphanumeric command capabilities. To illustrate positioning, starting row and column are indicated on the example but do not necessarily reflect actual location on the page.
