P1-P8

Description: This order specifies the size of the character cell for output characters with subsequent
Character String orders. The character cell size for non-graphics (for example, text) does not change with
this order. The Set Character Cell order does not change any other graphic drawing attributes.

There are two types of formats with this order. The first format has a length of 4 and has four parameter
bytes. The second format has a length of 8 and has eight parameter bytes.

For both formats, parameters P1P2 form a two byte value that specifies the width of the character in
drawing units. Parameters P3P4 form a two byte value that specifies the height of the character in drawing
units.
