Chapter 1
For Example: A typical European language uses left horizontal and normal vertical alignment, which
would be a value of "11" for the "FJ" parameter. If using kerning, the proper value would then be
"111" and for mono spacing, it would be "211".
1.5.10 FW (Field Width)
The field width parameter sets the width of a text field, using the current unit of measure, along the
direction of composition. This is used to limit the physical width of the cell where the appropriate
data is to be placed. If the desired data is longer than the field width setting, then characters outside
the cell width setting will not be printed.
1.5.11 CS (Character Spacing)
This parameter adjusts the spacing between each character or the inter-character spacing. The
change made relative to a default, where omitting this parameter or entering a "0" causes the default
to be used. The specified spacing value is in units of typesetting points, where 1 point = 1/72".
Positive point values increase the default spacing while negative values reduce the default spacing.
The point values are accurate to a single digit following the decimal place (1.4 for example).
1.5.12 FC (First Character)
The FC parameter used to select the first character to be used as data within the text string data.
This parameter is helpful in allowing several fields to use sections of the same text string minimizing
the amount of data transmitted. If the value specified for the FC parameter is equal to or greater
than the included data, the entire data string will be printed. For Example, for the text string
0123456789, a FC value of 5 would start the data on the fifth character and the resulting data would
be 456789. This parameter used in conjunction with the CC (Character Count) parameter listed
below.
1.5.13 CC (Character Count)
This parameter used to determine the number of characters that will be used as data within a text
string. If the number of characters in the selected text string is more than the quantity specified by
the CC, then the remainder of the text string is ignored. If this parameter is left blank then the entire
text string will be used as the data. Using the same example described in section 1.4.12, a CC
value of 2 in conjunction with a FC value of 5, would result in a value of 45 to be used as the data.
