Usage Notes
• The digits 2 and 0 are constants.
• If Font Lock and Pitch Lock are active, this command is ignored.
• The Hf and Lf variables identify the pitch and font typestyle you want to
print. Tables 1 and 2 on page 37 describe the Hf and Lf variables. To use
the tables:
1 Locate the type style (pitch and font) you want in the left column (Pitch).
2 For the decimal digits for Hf Lf, look across the row to the second
3 For the hexadecimal digits for Hf Lf, look across the row to the sixth
4 Substitute these digits for Hf Lf in the printer command syntax.
• The size parameters (Hs, Ls and Sm) are valid when the pitch and font
typestyle variables (Hf and Lf) are not valid and the size modifier parame-
ter (Sm) is 1 (decimal) or 01 (hexadecimal). Table 3 on page 39 specifies the
pitch for valid size parameters. Other valid sizes for Sm include:
1 00 - No change
2 01 - Width is measured in 0.018 mm (1/1440 in.)
3 02, 03 - Font is porportional
4 All other values are regarded as 0.
• The Hc and Lc variables identify the Code Page you want to use. (See
Table 4 on page 39.)
