The default orientation prints character strings in the
standard horizontal format.
NOTE:
Alpha rotation parameters (CW, CCW, INV) require more memory to
implement than the default orientation. Thus, characters selected for
rotation may appear in the default orientation. Selecting a smaller font will
correct the problem.
UC
Enter UC to specify uppercase–only characters. When
uppercase–only is specified, all lowercase alpha
character codes are converted automatically to
uppercase. Consequently, do not specify
uppercase–only characters if lowercase characters are
required.
POINT
Optional parameter that changes the units for the
vertical and horizontal expansion values. When the
point parameter is present the VE value defines the
font height in 1/72 of an inch (i.e. points). If the HE
value is non–zero, it defines the character width in 1/72
of an inch, otherwise the character width is the
standard width for the chosen height. Cannot be used
with elongated (E) and compressed (Cn) parameters.
SR
Defines the starting row of the alphanumeric data.
Enter a value ranging from row 1 through one less than
the length of the form. Character row or dot row is
specified based on the Scale command (page 4–88), or
use the CP.DP format (page 4–7).
SC
Defines the starting column of the alphanumeric data.
Enter a value ranging from column 1 through one less
than the width of the form. Character column or dot
column is specified based on the Scale command (page
4–88), or use the CP.DP format (page 4–7).
VE
Defines the vertical expansion factor to enlarge
characters vertically. Enter a value between 0 and 139.
Zero specifies the standard font (no expansion). A VE
value must be entered. Elongated (E) and compressed
(Cn) characters cannot be used with a vertical
expansion other than zero.
