Font Commands

4
These commands control the line spacing, character spacing, underline spacing, and
underline thickness. The SLS and SLPI commands are used to set the line spacing. The
SCS and SCPI commands are used to set the character spacing. These spacing settings
may be changed even in the middle of a page.
The table below lists the minimum, maximum, and default values for the text spacing
command parameters. If values outside of the above ranges are used, the command is
ignored. If a value smaller than one dot is specified for the character spacing, it is
interpreted as 0, which results in proportional spacing.
Minimum value
Line spacing 1 dot
0.01 cm
0.004 inch
Character spacing
1 dot
0.01 cm
0.004 inch
Using the font mode (FTMD command), the line spacing and character spacing can be
set automatically when the bitmap fonts are selected. Refer to the sections on the FTMD
and SFA commands for additional details.

The font commands are used to select fonts. Fonts can be selected using substitute
numbers instead of a font's specific number. It is also possible to change the attributes of
fonts and print them in a unique style. Additionally, there are commands to download
fonts to the printing system from an external source, and to generate fonts.
