650 The 650 only supports DIRECT, OR, and XOR.

636, 656, 676, 686, 545 These printers only supports DIRECT, OR, and INVERSE.

~SI99

630,960,6X6,SNAP

This command specifies the inter-character spacing of the selected care symbols. The
value that is included in this command is the number of dots that will be between the
care symbols.

Compatibility Notes:

630, 650 For these printers the resolution or smallest increment is 4 thousandths.

6X6,SNAP The actual resolution or smallest increment is 1/dpi of the printer.

~SP99

6X6,SNAP

This command specifies the point size of the printed symbols. This command only
applies to the scaleable fonts. The range for the point size is 4 to 96.

~SW9999

6X6,SNAP

This command specifies the width of the field. If this command is not defined, then the
scaleable symbol is printed as is. This command gives the symbols a uniform width
requirement for the batches. This command is needed in order to fit the symbols within
the field using the ~SQ command. The actual resolution or smallest increment is 1/dpi
of the printer.

~SQ_

6X6,SNAP

This command specifies how the symbols printed are to be sized within the width
defined in the ~SW command. The underscore should be replaced be one of the
following:

0 = Squeeze to fit With this option, if the width of the symbols in the text exceeds the

width defined in the command SW then the symbols are squeezed
into the width defined in the command SW. If the width of the
symbols in the text does not exceed the width defined in the
command SW then the symbols are printed as is.

1 = Proportion to fit With this option, the width of the symbols in the text are

proportioned within the width defined in the command SW.

2 = Stretch to fit With this option, if the width of the symbols in the text is less than

the width defined in the command SW then the symbols are
stretched into the width defined in the command SW. If the width of
the symbols in the text exceeds the width defined in the command
SW then the symbols are squeezed into the field width defined in the
command SW.

3 = Regular fit With this option, the field is printed as is using the width given for

each symbol.

~SE_

6X6,SNAP

This command specifies how the text will be justified. This edit code specifies a format
for the symbol that will appear in the field. The available codes are L for Left justified,
R for Right justified, C for Centered, A for Print as is (the string is printed just as it was
sent to the printer).
