FTMD value;
an integer from 0 to 15
The FTMD command determines which attributes will be changed automatically when a
bitmap font (simulated based on scalable fonts) is selected by the FONT, ALTF, or RPF
command. The attributes and values appear as follows:
Horizontal motion index (character spacing)
Vertical motion index (line spacing)
Fixed or proportional spacing
Portrait or landscape orientation
The values 1, 2, 4, and 8 change a single font attribute using the FTMD command. When
the FTMD command is executed, the printer adjusts the designated attributes of the
current font. Later, if the current font is changed by a FONT, ALTF, or RPF command,
the printer automatically changes the designated attributes to the values of the new font.
The default value of the FTMD command depends on the emulation mode.
The printer does not automatically change any attributes not designated by the FTMD
command. If necessary, these attributes must be adjusted by other commands: SCS or
SCPI for the character spacing; SLS or SLPI for the line spacing; and SPO for the page
orientation. The FTMD command is ignored when the current font is a scalable font.
