Descender Mode

The Descender Mode is recognized only within a Graphics Pass (^M, ^V, ^E, or ^U has been previously sent). It can be toggled on and off as often as desired within a Graphics Pass, and it is terminated when the Graphics Pass terminates. The amount of space reserved for descenders is defined as two dot rows for each 0.1 inches (0.25 cm) of character height. There are two different formats for the Descender Mode. These can be toggled from the control panel via the Descender option in the Graphics Category menu to either Fixed or Auto.

If set to Fixed the descender gap is always present whenever theDescender Mode is turned on, even if no descenders are printed.

If set to Auto, the descender gap appears only when descenders are printed. if no descenders are printed, the gap is closed.

When Descender Mode is toggled off, all lower-case characters with descenders are moved up so that the bottom of each descender rests on the baseline. Lower-case characters without descenders appear the same whether Descender Mode is ON or OFF.

NOTE: All Graphics Passes start in the default Non-Descender Mode.
