Scalable Text
pg. 4-1
SCALABLE TEXT
Scalable text allows a user to print text at any point size. Point size can be specified for both the X and
Y directions to produce characters that are “stretched” in either their width or height. Point sizes specified
and text produced will print at 72 points equating to one inch (25.4mm).
The printer can contain scalable font files as part of the application, or scalable font files can be
downloaded to the printer using one of the utilities on the supplied disk. A scalable text file must be
present in your printer’s memory in order to use scalable text features.
SCALE-TEXT Commands
The SCALE-TEXT commands allow the user to specify the point size of both the width and height of the
font.
Format:
{command} {name} {width} {height} {x} {y} {data}
where:
{command}: SCALE-TEXT (or ST): Prints scaled text horizontally.
VSCALE-TEXT (or VST): Prints scaled text vertically.
{name}: Font name.
{width}: Font width (point size).
{height}: Font height (point size).
{x}: Horizontal starting position.
{y}: Vertical starting position.
{data}: Text to be printed.
